A typically collegial white collar legal conference turned testy when one of the president’s defense attorneys faced incredulous and at one point rancorous pushback for praising Trump’s Justice Department. https://t.co/pJNHgZdEZq

Trump defense lawyer John Lauro faced testy pushback from co-panelists & DOJ alums attending ABA conference.
Lauro praised Trump DOJ for being in a "better place" now that Jack Smith isn't victimizing the president.
"You're a clown," someone yelled.https://t.co/TSD98PGx0L

I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen? pic.twitter.com/ELl5I8WL4R

If you think he cares about gas prices, housing costs, home electricity costs, inflation, no jobs, troops getting killed, grocery prices, health care costs, or anything else that would improve the lives of most Americans, you are wrong. pic.twitter.com/xqXJXlVLYF

NEW: Gen. Caine briefed Trump several times that an American attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump acknowledged the risk but told his team Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait—and if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it. pic.twitter.com/NhbLMwNUHA

Because of course he did.

Iran told the world SEVEN YEARS ago it would close the Strait of Hormuz in a crisis. Apparently, nobody in the Trump administration took any notice.

Capriciousness, arrogance, amnesia and slapstick--my take on the mismanagement of a needless war.https://t.co/cNgG9Lx2Ol pic.twitter.com/ZBJNIOFVOm

Name calling from a draft dodger doesn't bother me. What bothers me is a clueless commander in chief who took our country to war without a strategy because no one around him has the guts to tell him when he's wrong. https://t.co/vRaqRPjTAv
