The guy behind the lawsuit is a lawyer in DC, Jeffrey Lovitky, who is seeking to "compel compliance by [Jared and Ivanka] with the financial disclosure requirements of the Ethics in Government Act."pic.twitter.com/lORzSYQ09k

So, no, it's not at all what Prof. Tribe's tweet says it is.

Update: Tribe did acknowledge the error and delete the tweet — but it had gotten nearly 2,000 RTs last I had looked before it was deleted. https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/943193421551939585 …

today i had the weird experience of seeing something tweeted by one of the most respected lawyers in the country and thinking "better check and make sure that's not bullshit before i quote tweet"
-
It's really disappointing.
-
Well hasn’t it been apparent for a while that something has happened and he’s not exactly himself these days? Some of his tweets sound pretty unhinged.
-
I view it as Newton’s Law “equal and opposite reaction” to Alan Dershowitz. A symmetrical going off of the rails.
-
Maybe-tho Dershowitz’s stuff seems like his usual limelight-seeking shtick. But a lot of Tribe’s anti-Trump tweets seem oddly irrational & overly emotional. I don’t know, of course, but it reminds me of when a fine lawyer I know began to show dementia, which would be a shame.

Thanks Chris. I read the article and saw it was an error, so didn't retweet. Mistakes happen when we are swarmed by bees in the news cycles. Swatting at everything leads to mistakes.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
