George Conway Fact-Checks Trump's 'Totally Clears The President' Claim
President Donald Trump claimed Friday that he had been “totally” cleared following the release of the sentencing recommendations for his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
Totally clears the President. Thank you!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2018
“Totally clears the President,” Trump tweeted. “Thank you!”
George Conway — husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway — had a different take on the recommendations of federal prosecutors in New York.
Namely, the part that stated “Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1.” The “payments” were those made to two alleged Trump mistresses during the 2016 presidential campaign. “Individual-1” is Trump.
Here’s how Conway, a longtime critic of Trump, responded:
Except for that little part where the US Attorney’s Office says that you directed and coordinated with Cohen to commit two felonies. Other than that, totally scot-free. https://t.co/YXmgY9KmXi

Conway’s post went over well on Twitter, including with comedian Kathy Griffin:
I never thought I would say this but am I looking at the new Mr. Griffin here? Hi Georgie😍
