Well, inadvertently. Proving once again that the legal team of deranged nitwit Donald "Rump" Trump has a fool for a client:
I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 2, 2017
Oh my god, he just admitted to obstruction of justice. If Trump knew Flynn lied to the FBI when he asked Comey to let it go, then there is your case. https://t.co/c6Wtd0TfzW— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) December 2, 2017
The President now admits that he knew Flynn had lied to the FBI when, as @Comey testified, Trump asked Comey to back off the Flynn investigation. https://t.co/3c0gDb2keR— Benjamin Wittes (@benjaminwittes) December 2, 2017
(Wittes has a mini- tweetstorm on this that's worth a look.)
