“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

The above tweet from President Trump is not the only one to make me wonder how he decides what words and phrases should be in quotes. It has also attracted the attention of legal beagles who say that he's performing criminal acts in plain sight. Journalistic summary of views here, but it's his Twitter respondents I find most entertaining. Here is George Conway, Washington lawyer and husband of Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway:
File under “18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512” https://t.co/e4ZGVn1kJi

The statutes he cites are sections of the federal code relating to witness tampering and obstruction of justice. He seems to have gotten under the skin of one of the President's offspring.
Of all the ugliness in politics, the utter disrespect George Conway shows toward his wife, her career, place of work, and everything she has fought SO hard to achieve, might top them all. @KellyannePolls is great person and frankly his actions are horrible.

There is a cottage industry devoted to the question of which Trump child is most inept, that is, dumb. Ivanka recently got a boost for her use of private email, and Don Jr. is probably the most physically repulsive, but Eric gets my vote. Pro move to insert yourself into the marital squabbles of others! And does he seriously want to invite inquiry into the question of whether George Conway's "disrespect" of Kellyanne matches that of, say, someone who shags a porn star while momma's home with the newborn?
But that is a predictable line of counterattack. Here is the gold medal winner, tweeted back to Eric:
Eric, Kellyanne is calling on line 2 and she says it time to go to bed, honey. And don't don't forget to brush your teeth, say your prayers and take an extra dose of shut the fuck up!
