This is hilarious coming from a cultist. You guys are the definition of being blind to what is right in front of you. Like Trump's own words.

You have nothing to say about the fact that Trump just admitted he knew all along that Flynn lied to the FBI so you go off on some rant that has nothing to do with anything.

There's your blindness.

Not necessarily. Trump's lawyer could be telling the truth that Trump was aware of the felony and not only failed to report it, but pressured the FBI to ignore it. Actually, I find it more credible coming from his lawyer than from him. (The "my lawyer wrote it" is BS, in any case. Another lie.)

In any case, it doesn't matter. Trump is protected by the GOP congress and is, for all practical purposes, above the law.

I find it near impossible to believe a lawyer would do this. Even an incompetent one knows better than this.

This doesn't look good. His lawyer did not tweet this.

Maybe.

Flynn was fired in Feb, less than 1 month into the new admin. We do not know the date(s) when he was interviewed by the FBI, but it seems likely that it was after he was fired. Even if it was before, it is not likely that Trump would have known about it. After Flynn left the admin, Sean Spicer said that it was due to an erosion of trust, not because laws were broken.


What Trump should have said was something like "I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President, and now he has pled guilty to lying to the FBI.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda. The thing is, he DIDN’T say that! LOL

Good grief, this man is really stupid.



Trumpsplaining. Because he's just so stupid he needs to come with cue cards to explain what he really meant.

Yeah, no. No one is buying it.

Yep.

God, what a nightmare. Anyone who thinks Trump is a good president is delusional.
We’re looking at delusional in the rear-view at this point because Cult 45 is unimaginably stupid.

For the record, I do not think Trump wants to get out of the presidency. I think he has mental deterioration that is causing him to do extremely ill-advised things.

I guess now the new argument is that Trump is so friggin inept he can't even write his own tweets.

Wow...what a brilliant legal strategy, but of course when you have a client aa moronic as Trump desperate times call for desperate measures.

Trumpsplainin’. Again. He didn’t ^. Doesn’t matter what you ‘think’ he said. He said what he said and that’s all that he said...

I doubt we need Trump's tweet on this point. Surely he discussed it with Flynn at length and Flynn is talking.
