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.

REMIND ME AGAIN WHY CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE THEMSELVES TO BE THE ONLY RIGHTFUL RULERS OF AMERICA?

Saying that its presence had been a valuable source of comfort at a difficult time, President Trump reportedly told the White House cockroach infestation on Friday that it alone truly understood him. “Things are so tough right now, and it’s nice to know someone out there has so much in common with me, really gets what I’m feeling,” said Trump to the skittering mass of insects that coated the walls, furniture, and floor of the Oval Office and feasted on a rotting hamburger in a wastepaper basket. “We just have a bond, and it gives me strength to know someone really accepts me as I am. Heck, sometimes I think you might even know me better than I know myself.”

Although most of the Breitbart journalists are completely detached from objective reality, a sprinkling of them do seem to grasp certain aspects of just how bad the Mueller probe is going to be for Donald Trump, particularly with Michael Flynn's decision to cooperate with him. Editor-at-large for Breitbart News Joel Pollak wrote the following piece about the implications of his turning:

Flynn’s decision to cooperate with Mueller means that the White House now faces immediate legal danger — not so much from the substance of the allegations, but from the kind of “process crimes” to which Flynn pleaded guilty.
At the very least, Ty Cobb and his colleagues are going to be on the defensive for many months — certainly through most of 2018, if not longer. Most of it will have nothing to do with Russia. But it is not going to disappear.
On Friday, reacting to the news of Flynn’s guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with Mueller, Cobb released a bizarre statement in which he called Flynn “a former Obama administration official” — as if Flynn had not also been Trump’s top national security adviser, and his warmup speaker at nearly every campaign rally in the fall of 2016.
Cobb added: “The conclusion of this phase of the Special Counsel’s work demonstrates again that the Special Counsel is moving with all deliberate speed and clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion.”
