“Ex-Andersen employees react to overturned conviction.”
June 2005
Andrew Weissmann destroyed companies and lives due to his actions in regards to ENRON. He is now doing the same thing to Trump, his affiliates and J6ers. Andrew must go to prison next year.
“The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn the conviction of nearly defunct Arthur Andersen LLP brought elation for some but was little comfort to many people who lost their jobs when the accounting firm crumbled.”
"It's just too little, too late," Jonathan Goldsmith, a former consultant at Andersen's Chicago headquarters, said Tuesday. "So many lives have been overturned. People have lost their jobs. People had to move from their homes, take their roots and take their families and take them elsewhere."
“The 28,000 who worked for the firm's U.S. arm knew Andersen's Supreme Court appeal wouldn't resurrect the business. Andersen already had lost clients, workers and its reputation when the firm went to trial in 2002 on charges of destroying Enron Corp.-related documents to thwart investigators probing the energy company.”
“Still, Rusty Hardin, the Houston lawyer who led Andersen's defense team, was elated that justices determined U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon's instructions were too vague for jurors to determine correctly whether Andersen committed a crime.”
Vagueness is the same method that controlled asset Merchan used in the sham Trump trial.
They are using the same ENRON laws against J6ers. Hopefully the Supreme Court reverses that error.
Andrew Weissman and Norm Eisen are behind all of the lawfare. They must both go to prison next year.
“The lead prosecutors in the Andersen trial, Andrew Weissmann and Sam Buell, declined comment. Weissmann heads the Justice Department's Enron Task Force, while Buell left the task force more than a year ago and now teaches law at the University of Houston.”
“It was the indictment that killed Andersen, not the conviction," Weinstein said. "Today's decision is certainly not going to bring Andersen back, but I think what it does is help set the record straight and really clear the name of the 28,000 innocent people who lost their jobs."
