The Lawyers Briefly Seize Command Of Potus Twitter

Today business office of the tidings is that the President does not, inward fact, accept recordings of his conversations amongst quondam FBI Director Comey.  The President's Twitter concern human relationship (in 2 tweets) explained:

"With all of the lately reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking in addition to illegal leaking of information, I accept no sentiment whether in that place are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations amongst James Comey, simply I did non make, in addition to exercise non have, whatever such recordings."

Something is amiss here. Read the judgement again. This does non audio similar the President's normal linguistic communication on Twitter.  It sounds, instead, similar something that a lawyer writes.  The giveaways are the role of the quotes roughly the give-and-take "tapes," in addition to the formal phrase "any such." Lawyers enjoin things inward this mode because they are to a greater extent than precise.

As a House commission was requesting the disclosure of whatever "tapes" of whatever such conversations, it is non surprising that the President would function his respond past times the lawyers earlier hitting Tweet.  Hopefully he'll commencement making that a regular habit.
