Maybe Dowd does not want to take the fall for Trumper over twitter anymore???

.......... Trump’s Saturday tweets had stoked controversy, as he wrote that “I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI.” Previously, the White House had cited only the false statements to Pence as a rationale for dismissing Flynn.

Dowd confirmed Sunday that he had drafted the tweet for Trump and acknowledged that it was sloppily worded. He said it was inaccurate to say the president was told that Flynn had lied to the FBI. Dowd said Sunday that Trump knew only what acting attorney general Sally Yates had told the White House counsel: that Flynn’s accounts to the agents interviewing him were the same as those Flynn gave Pence, and “that the [Justice] Department was not accusing him of lying.”

People familiar with Yates’ account say she never discussed any part of the FBI investigation with the White House.

Dowd played down the significance of Trump’s tweet, saying he did not intend to make news and declared, “I’m out of the tweeting business.”.......................

1. So, just that one tweet and he's out of it. Sounds reasonable to me.

2. Yah...he may be out of the lawyering business, too...

It doesn't appear to be his best career choice...

3. Does Dowd really think that Mueller cannot determine what mobile device the post came from?

Does he expect us to believe he was using Trump's phone?

And doesn't he realize that if investigators are already that deep, he and his client are fucked?

4. He acknowledged ...

... that it was sloppily worded?

Yeah, sending a tweet that implicates your client as having obstructed justice is pretty damned sloppy.

Maybe it's time Dowd got out of the lawyering business.

5. Too late, asswipe, you just made yourself a witness to obstruction, maybe a co-conspirator

whether you lied or not. Keep talking, dirtbag. You are gonna have to testify under oath, and then we shall see.

6. Who has to "draft" a tweet?

[CanonRay]

7. If a lawyer drafted that, he should turn in his law license.

Is he trying to make a case for incompetent counsel?

8. Wrong guy getting out of the tweeting business.
