      “Really, does everybody know what that means?” Well, Trump doesn’t because he still can’t spell special counsel, let alone understand the law. Was this from Pirro, Giuliani, or what?pic.twitter.com/gDKL4xBYYk

      The worst part of Trump’s tweet is actually the complete logical incongruence between the first sentence and the second. The first act, which almost certainly was not illegal, would have no bearing on the ~legality~ of the second act — even if the first were illegal.pic.twitter.com/OuRq2O2pDn

          It’s almost as if whoever came up with this idea — it wasn’t Trump — is confusing the circumstances where an appointment that is determined to have been invalid can result in all of the actions that person took being declared to be void with whatever this would be.

          While Comey might have been attempting to influence the chances of getting a special counsel by leaking the memo, it was a PR move. Rosenstein’s May 2017 appointment of the special counsel was not based, in fact, on that action. Legally speaking, they are not connected at all.pic.twitter.com/1j9PyNwKlF

          Ssshhh, don't tell him, hopefully he'll think his legal mind is so much better than any of his counsel that he'll sack them. Pro se is the ending to the Trump presidency we deserve.

          Buuuut his base loves it and the GOP only care about that. So he will fire Mueller, and they will be silent. They don't care and believe everything this man says, which is scary and sad.
