Why Was Andrew Weissmann Kept 'in the Loop' by Bruce Ohr?

Weissmann is now serving as right-hand man to Robert Mueller at the special counsel's office.

It seems to me that the question that needs to be asked is: Why Andrew Weissmann? Why was Ohr keeping Weissmann, who was at the time head of DoJ's Criminal Fraud Section, in the loop on what to all appearances was a Counterintelligence investigation? If Ohr kept Weissmann in the loop out of friendship, that still breaks the first rule of conspiratorial operations: need to know.

Weissmann returned to the FBI and his mentor Mueller, serving as General Counsel under Mueller until the end of Mueller's term in September 2013.

During his four years as General Counsel at the FBI, Weissmann would have been interacting on a daily basis with FBI management at the very highest levels, certainly including the Director and Deputy Director - with additional contact with the highest levels in all important Divisions.

The appeal of having Weissmann "In the loop" of the Russia hoax is obvious - he would be a trusted contact with the top levels of the FBI and would have a wide range of other useful contacts.

Was Bruce Ohr "In the loop" regarding the Trump Tower meeting - which I regard as a clear attempt to set up Donald Trump Jr. and/or Jared Kushner in a quid-pro-quo arrangement for supposed "Dirt" on Hillary Clinton? If Ohr knew of this attempted setup of the Trump campaign, there would seem to be little doubt that Weissmann also knew.

Finally, when it came time to select a Special Counsel, would not Weissmann have been a logical person to sound out Mueller on returning to government - or should we say Deep State - work? It's telling that Weissmann jumped on board the Mueller train as soon as the Special Counsel was established.
