Donald Trump just had a Twitter meltdown about Michael Flynn. This is why
Trump, who had so far refrained from tweeting about Flynn, took to Twitter that day with the 'lock her up' line against Hillary Clinton, which worked so well on his campaign trail.
Then, he claimed it was because Flynn lied to Vice President Mike Pence.
But here the President appeared to suggest it was because "he lied to the Vice President and FBI".
Critics argued that the tweet was self-criminating and evidence of an obstruction of justice if Trump knew that Flynn lied to the FBI - a felony - in February.
However, according to The Washington Post, Trump's lawyer John Dowd drafted the tweet.
They wrote:
Its authorship could reduce how significantly it communicates anything about when the President knew that Flynn had lied to the FBI, but also raises questions about the public relations strategy of the president's chief lawyer.
