Yes, Donald Trump’s tweet about Michael Flynn is a legal liability

Even for Donald Trump, this tweet was a doozy.

On Friday, Trump’s former national security adviser pled guilty to lying to the FBI. That alone is a big deal, but the real bombshell was that Michael Flynn had agreed as part of a plea deal to work with the FBI in its investigation into Russia’s attempts to swing the 2016 U.S. election.

The next day, a tweet appeared about the news:

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!
