Guess who wants to live tweet during Comey's hearing..... C'mon, you know who.

Washington Post reporter Robert Costa told MSNBC on Tuesday that the president would directly respond to Comey on Twitter as the testimony is underway.

“I was just talking to some White House officials this morning and their view is that the president himself wants to be the messenger, his own warrior, his own lawyer, his own spokesman,” Costa explained. “Some outside people, some surrogates will be available.”

The White House had initially said that it would be setting up a “war room” to deal with Comey’s testimony, but sources this week revealed that officials had failed to follow through with the plan.

I knew he'd pull some stupid stunt or another but if I were his lawyer and he did this, I'd quit.

OTOH as someone who'd like to see him removed from the WH, "Please proceed".

And he scheduled a speech during it. It's cover for "we have no idea what he's going to do" and no, we aren't running a propaganda operation against the investigation.

Maybe he'll get a Popsicle. Or some candy. Or maybe we'll just let him try to embarrass us.

Reportedly he's now booked to speak to a religious group during the testimony. Predict lots of phony religious tweets from him and outraged support back as he rallies his bizarre following further down a very ungodly path.
