Investigation Breaks Trump As He Uses Twitter Like a Teenager’s Personal Journal

By Sarah Jones on Fri, Jun 16th, 2017 at 10:48 am

President Trump is not doing well with the whole investigation thing.

There are reports that he randomly bursts out with off topic declarations of, ‘I’m not under investigation!’ This awkward obsession with denial only serves to conjure up Nixon, which isn’t helpful.

Friday morning, Trump used Twitter like a teenager’s personal journal again, a problem for his lawyers and his own defense:

Donald J. Trump
✔ ‎@realDonaldTrump

I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt

Of course, it was Donald Trump himself who told Lester Holt on TV as the world watched, “I was going to fire him regardless of the recommendation.”

Donald J. Trump
✔ ‎@realDonaldTrump

Despite the phony Witch Hunt going on in America, the economic & jobs numbers are great. Regulations way down, jobs and enthusiasm way up!

Donald J. Trump
✔ ‎@realDonaldTrump

The Fake News Media hates when I use what has turned out to be my very powerful Social Media - over 100 million people! I can go around them

Donald J. Trump
✔ ‎@realDonaldTrump

After 7 months of investigations & committee hearings about my "collusion with the Russians," nobody has been able to show any proof. Sad!

You might be saying to yourself, why do they cover his tweets? What a wonderful world it could be if everyone would just ignore his tweets! But the problem is, Trump uses his tweets as official messaging.

Trump rarely takes questions from the press. Just moments ago this Friday morning, Trump “smiled and waved at a gathering of media, White House staff including Omarosa Manigault and other onlookers, but did not break stride or respond to shouted questions about Rod Rosenstein and tapes,” according to a White House pool report sent to PoliticusUSA.

Trump’s tweets are also read by other world leaders, they can impact the stock market, they can drive a specific brand into the toilet. As long as he is president, Donald Trump’s tweets are like getting the statements from the White House press office, except they go out to everyone.

Which is kind of populist of Trump, and could even been seen as democratic if only he weren’t doing this to avoid the questions of the press a la Sarah Palin, which he admitted to in his tweet. Trump’s tweets are one-way communication, which is an easy invitation for propaganda.

A Twitter account was set up to put Trump’s tweets into official statement form, such as:

Yeah, that’s scary.

Andy Wright, former White House Associate Counsel to President Barack Obama, explained in a tweet storm of his own some of the legal issues Trump is creating by flunking the investigation (edited to remove numbers):

My mentor Bob Bennett told new clients under investigation: “You may have flunked the facts but we won’t let you flunk the investigation.”

There are lots of unknowns about Trump’s relation to the facts in the Russia investigation. Spade work needs to be done.

Whatever the facts, it is abundantly clear that Trump is hellbent on flunking the investigation.

One reason you shut your mouth as a client is that each statement provides new data points for the FBI to interpret or misinterpret.

Duh

In high profile investigations, you have the additional reason to shut your mouth because each new comment = new video & sound for news

Let’s assume (wrongly) it is a “witch hunt,” why provide fuel to the fire at that base of your own stake? Duh X 2.

I assume that legal counsel in the White House & his personal lawyer have explained this.

Nevertheless, he persists.
