Trump's Lawyer Issues Memo Filled With Typos
Source: Vox
Marc Kasowitz is a longtime attorney for Donald Trump or, as he put it in a letter released today in response to former FBI Director James Comeys Senate testimony, hes Predisent Trumps personal lawyer.
From that opening typo, the letter goes on to make a number of remarkable claims, including the assertion that Comey lied under oath about Trumps demand of loyalty, the assertion that even though Trump did not make the loyalty demand he is entitled to expect loyalty from those serving in an administration, and the strange claim that executive privilege somehow prevents Comey from voluntarily discussing his conversations with Trump with the public.
But even more remarkably, the typo in the first line is not even the only typo in the letter. Kasowitz also misspells the name of Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.
And there are weird extra periods scattered at the end of various paragraphs.

(7,220 posts)Drumph doesn't have the luxury of being choosy right now when it comes to selecting counsel. Not to mention, who wants to represent someone who constantly puts himself in legal jeopardy by stupidly boasting about his crimes to the whole world at 4am on the toilet?
Borrowing from "Hustle & Flow":
"It's hard out here for a Chimp...
...to hire counsel
when the others all got stiffed"

(14 posts)early on, it seems the trump team, like magicians, has used the art of misdirection to turn attention away from things they'd rather not talk about. i believe this is an example that especially feeds into his base support. trying to make themselves look more human, the comm team brings up these little things to present those mentioning them as being anal and concentrating on the minutiate instead of important facts, even though they both go hand in hand...

(959 posts)like the good doctor and now this guy, are charlatans and just barely able to claim the status of physician or attorney. Maybe they work for him for free, just so they can bask in his wonderfulness. You know he hates to pay people. And in these cases, he's getting what he paid for

(54,047 posts)He was just writing in Republicanese.
It has many similarities to English but has many differences as well.
In Republicanese, no spelling is standard. Your and You're are interchangeable as are lose and loose, as well as there, their and they're. Plurals are randomly formed with an apostrophe ("The Clinton's are speaking to the Democrat's again" . etc. etc.
Before you accuse someone of writing bad English make sure they ARE writing in English and not in Republicanese.

(25,746 posts)that pop up when you quickly type something and don't bother to read it over at all.
We all make dumb typos. Plenty of them show up here, for instance. And I'm sure most of them are because we type up a response and hit "Post my reply" without giving it a second look. Happens to me. Happens to all of us. But nothing here rises to the level of a letter released in response to someone's Senate testimony. I'm pretty sure all of us would have bothered to proofread such a missive.
