      Would really love @nytmike to clarify when the Ty Cobb interview was for the story. Was it before Trump’s tweet, or after?

          A day later, is there any good reason for not reporting whether (1) the Cobb/NYT interview occurred before or after the Trump tweet about Flynn firing and (2) clarifying whether Cobb actually said in interview that Flynn was fired for lying Pence *and* FBI?

          I mean, there is email. And phones. I’m not sure that really matters. ... My question is whether Cobb’s statement can be placed as having happened before Trump publicly tweeted that. Otherwise, it looks like Dowd and Cobb were both going to reporters with a story to match Trump.

          New CBS story has Admin going harder with the "Dowd bungled the tweet" line, which only increases import of Cobb interview timing.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-lawyer-wrote-tweet-implying-trump-knew-flynn-lied-to-fbi/ …

          I'm finding it almost impossible to believe they're not throwing Dowd under the bus here. What lawyer would even let their client comment about details like this, let alone comment on the details themselves? Like. . .What?

          Haven't we long since moved beyond "let their client comment about details like this" with Trump? He's going to comment, and his lawyers know it. Question is what they did (or didn't do) knowing that, right?

          Yeah--I'm not shocked by Trump's buffoonery. I mean, he's managed to produce piles of evidence re: a mental state that is nearly impossible to prove (intent to obstruct). I'm mostly shocked (and disbelieving) that *anyone* w/ a legal background would compose that tweet. . . . .
