Trump's lawyer says he was behind @realDonaldTrump tweet about firing Flynn - CNNPolitics

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, John Dowd, confirmed to CNN on Sunday that he wrote a tweet for the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account about the firing of former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.
LOL this is like the "my dog ate my homework" excuse. Nobody with a thinking brain would believe such an excuse, but we have to pretend to take it seriously.

Uh huh. Out of all of his stupid tweets, THIS is the one that he personally didn't write. Sure, Jan. Sure.

What lawyer would write such, admitting that his client is guilty?

Mueller will get to the truth. If Flynn told Trump that he lied to the FBI, it will come out. All Trump's staff will be deposed.

No sane lawyer would. We know that his job is to protect Trump at all costs. Now Trump's lawyer looks like an incompetent fool.

yep.

why were you writing on the POTUS twitter account?

did you check with the POTUS?

why did you not specify you were not the POTUS?

why then did you write in the first person ( "i fired....")?

the DoJ considers trump's tweets to be official POTUS documents, isn't this a violation of the law?


i'm thinking they're going to have to dig the hole deeper in an attempt to make dowd's involvement seem even remotely plausible ( i'm remembering the photo of nixon's secretary stretched as far as she could reach in an attempt to show how it could be physically possible for her to "accidentally" erase portions of the tape ).

Don't be surprised if Flynn's testimony damages both Trump AND Pence. Remember, it was Manafort who influenced Trump to pick Pence. Suspicious also is that Pence and Manafort communicated frequently long after Manafort was fired from the campaign.

Anything illegal that occurred during the transition implicates Pence. He was in charge.
I agree with that. That is why Flynn didn't get fired until someone broke the story not when it happened.
