Smart @realDonaldTrump.
Why don’t you just lay out Mueller’s case against you for witness tampering and obstruction of justice right here on Twitter.
Anything else you want to say?

The president is right.

Court documents show Michael Cohen didn’t plead guilty to things related to Trump, only to things related to Individual 1.

Again, criminal tweets:

18 USC §1512(b) makes it a federal crime to try to corruptly persuade someone into refusing to testify in an official proceeding.

The best answer I’ve received so far is that it’s not obstruction because it’s witness tampering. Cool cool cool. https://t.co/RfpKh7gmNF

Edit to add:

The husband of a top Trump White House adviser just essentially accused Trump of breaking the law with witness tampering. File under "This is a Big Deal." https://t.co/6n3AzQ1zrh

Here's the real plot, Peter and fans like you need to get used to it, as it's been true since the 80's: Everything Trump touches dies. If you happen to agree with many of the things he promotes with his agitprop, you need to find someone else, it's just that simple.

You're apparently woefully

You're apparently woefully unobservant. Rick Gates who worked with Manafort and much longer for Trump than Manafort pled guilty, what, a year ago? Mike Flynn pled 1 1/2 years ago? You think Hope Hicks is risking jail to not talk? Reince Priebus? Felix Sater? A lot of canaries in that gold mine. Prolly even Bannon. Oh, and Jeff Sessions, you remember Jeff? bet he's carving Don a new sphincter as I type, 2 years of abuse to atone for... paybacks are hell.

Highest elected official in the country appears to be trying to interfere in the sentencing of former lawyer who has implicated the president in guilty pleas. https://t.co/5RJWg07M1l

You could of course, argue that, as part of the plot, an impostor has stolen his Twitter account.
