    This is ... very interesting from @OfficeGovEthics. Presumably hacked, but, who knows. I've inquired via email. (Can't get anyone on phone).pic.twitter.com/JbRMBtGggL

        If hacked, it's a high-quality hack, using actual @OfficeGovEthics information, including this letter: https://www.oge.gov/web/oge.nsf/Legal%20Advisories/01F8E09232041FD185257E96005FBBE8/$FILE/64ed9ad9bd294b45a88ac8729a97968a3.pdf?open …pic.twitter.com/DiNAviCLQF

        hang on though these tweets are...authentic? In the sense of originating from OGE, the folks who advised Obama re Nobel prize?

        Yes, the tweets are authentic. They are from OGE, though, not OLC, which is in DOJ: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/2009/12/31/emoluments-nobel-peace.pdf …

        Yes, "apparently" was in original hed, bc I'd not gotten a statement (NPR had it). I got a stmnt, so "apparently" is now gone.

        This later tweet might clarify:https://twitter.com/OfficeGovEthics/status/804021427565395969 …

        Sorry--didn't see it. IMO that tweet suggests that the tweetstorm meant to be sarcasm. Doesn't make it any less bizarre tho...

        Obviously it's sarcastic. I don't see how that informs the question of whether it is hacked or from within OGE.

        You're right. Sorry, I grouped you in with others who were reading the tweets as being earnest...

        Although "we'd sing your praises" suggests the tweeter was privy to a convo with Trump's counsel (unless part of a press stmt)
