Shapley is a highly credible witness. His contemporaneous documentation of events supports his testimony. Most critically, Shapley contradicts Attorney General Garland’s repeated statements that prosecutor David Weiss had independent authority to conduct the investigation and bring charges as he saw fit. Weiss himself to the contrary notwithstanding, Shapley has identified five other witnesses to Weiss’s disavowals of authority. Shapley makes six and he is a devastating witness all by himself.
