Former Ethics Chief: Trump’s Flynn Tweet Could End His Presidency
Walter Shaub says Trump’s tweet Saturday essentially makes the case for obstruction of justice.
The former Director of Government Ethics Walter Shaub made the case Saturday that President Trump’s tweet about his former national security adviser Michael Flynn could be the end of his presidency.
“Are you ADMITTING you knew Flynn had lied to to the FBI when you asked Comey to back off Flynn?” Shaub tweeted at Trump.
“Before we slipped into an alternate universe of unabashed corruption, this tweet alone might have ended a Presidential administration,” he added.
Shaub was replying to a tweet from President Trump where he admits knowing that Flynn lied to the FBI when he fired him which means he knew Flynn lied to the FBI when he urged James Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn.

Tell us, @realDonaldTrump, did you know Flynn had lied to the FBI when Counsel to the President Don McGahn snubbed Yates as she tried to warn the White House Flynn had been compromised?
Did you know Flynn had lied to the FBI when you fired Yates days after her whistleblowing?
