A former Justice Department official specializing in fraud and illegal foreign bribery cases has become the sixteenth lawyer on the special counsel team investigating into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, Reuters reported Tuesday.
Josh Stueve, a spokesperson for special counsel Robert Mueller, confirmed the hiring of attorney Greg Andres to Reuters.
During his two-year tenure at the DOJ, Andres served as deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division, overseeing the fraud unit and program that targeted illegal foreign bribery. Prior to joining to DOJ in 2010, he was chief of the criminal division in the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, where he prosecuted several members of the Bonanno organized crime family.
Andres will add his expertise to a team with years of experience in national security, money laundering, cybercrime, and public corruption cases.
Who Mueller is hiring is incredibly insightful.
Specializing In Fraud, Foreign Bribery
What a perfect fit
Getting nervous Donny?
I’m sure Trump’s team of NY real estate lawyers will view this with growing trepidation. “Quick, where can we find a fraud and bribery defense specialist?” Trump’s legal team is badly outnumbered and outclassed. I’m sure Donald has the best lawyers money can buy. His problem is that money can’t buy some lawyers.
It seems that Mueller is not fucking around.
The Trumpire is going to have to scorch a lot of earth, not just the bit on which Mueller is standing.
