I just don’t understand how Trump thought he’d get away with everything. It’s a lot different being a head of state than it is being a crooked NYC real estate developer:
Trump lawyers lied to Mueller to avoid obstruction charges
Lawyers' letter to Mueller: "the White House’s understanding [was] that there
was no FBI investigation" of Flynn at the timeInternal WH memo "flatly contradicts this story" "explicitly states" senior aides informed DJT https://t.co/WfwWZhFMnT

"A confidential White House memorandum, which is in the special counsel's possession, explicitly states that when Trump pressured Comey [to let Flynn go] he had just been told by two of his top aides … Priebus and … McGahn that Flynn was under criminal investigation." https://t.co/YG59rI6c4v

Remember when Trump sent this tweet admitting he knew Flynn lied to the FBI & Dowd had to scramble to claim he actually wrote it and garbled the facts? Seems like the tweet was accurate, and incriminating, all along. https://t.co/GirVdDdmFo

Trump was told that Mike Flynn was under criminal investigation just before pressing Comey to drop the probe into him, @murraywaas reports.
Crucial detail: Priebus supposedly knows this first hand from Trump. If so, he perhaps has told it to Mueller:https://t.co/XFISeKlSuV pic.twitter.com/lt62pxa7jT
