Role Models For Our Times - Andrew Weissmann
As we pass the 101-day mark of the Trump administration’s second term, I found myself reflecting on the question of moral leadership. After attending the funeral of a dear friend and former FBI colleague, I was reminded of the quiet power of those who lead by example.
In this moment of legal and constitutional strain, it felt right to pause and honor the people—both well-known and unsung—who are showing courage, integrity, and resolve. From figures like Zelensky and Navalny to everyday citizens and dedicated lawyers fighting for the rule of law, this reflection is a tribute to those who continue to light the way forward. - Andrew Weissmann - 05/02/2025.
