It appears that someone at the White House somehow managed to wrestle the phone away from President Trump today as thus far he has been noticeably silent on Twitter during James Comey’s testimony. Which comes as a bit of a shock considering…
I'm told by two WH sources that Pres. Trump does not plan to put down Twitter on Thursday. May live tweet if he feels the need to respond.

However, that certainly isn’t the case with The Donald’s namesake, as the subject of one of our favorite memes of 2017, Donald Trump, Jr., has been live-tweeting the hell out of it for him.
As with pretty much everything else that’s happened since Donald Trump took office, Junior’s tweeting has been nothing if not entertaining. Check out some of the tweets and retweets the junior Donald has been sharing on Twitter so far today.
Kind of a big deal… No? https://t.co/dZDu7rK8Hy

1/3 Flynn stuff is BS in context 2 guys talking about a guy they both know well. I hear "I hope nothing happens but you have to do your job"

2/3 very far from any kind of coercion or influence and certainly not obstruction!

3/3 Knowing my father for 39 years when he "orders or tells" you to do something there is no ambiguity, you will know exactly what he means

Hoping and telling are two very different things, you would think that a guy like Comey would know that. #givemeabreak

Comey "I could be wrong"

So if he was a "Stronger guy" he might have actually followed procedure & the law? You were the director of the FBI, who are you kidding?😂

First use of emojis!!
We all know that there is no way anyone in the swamp would leak something favorable to #potus. Otherwise this whopper would be everywhere! https://t.co/hO5SCD3Nd2

I wonder why that is???
I don't often ask for RTs but this one is likely worth it. https://t.co/KSZYlPg6L3

Interesting! When @AlanDersh (not exactly the alt right) is continually backing up @realDonaldTrump you know its over. #NothingBurger https://t.co/MUYbmk2VdR

Did I miss something or did Comey just say he asked a friend to leak information to the press? Is this a joke?

Washington DC at its finest. This is what America rallied against, but the DC elite don't get it or know any other way. https://t.co/H5SszE4uL4

Solid point and seems rather convenient for the partisan nonsense we have seen play out for months. https://t.co/PpYkSVRzmA

Sen Blunt: If you told Sessions you didn't want to be alone with Trump again, why did you continue to take his calls?
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) June 8, 2017
SO TRUE: He was more than willing to leak something against @realDonaldTrump but not something that exonerates him? Classy guy https://t.co/UqTtp3b6Nm

Seems like she may be the only one having a really bad day. Isn't the "for political reasons" a big problem??? https://t.co/IWOR4se8Kd

Junior also, so far, has retweeted Fox News (twice), Mike Huckabee, Bill O’Reilly, Dan Scavino Jr., Alan Dershowitz, Joe Biggs, Richard Grenell, Bloomberg, Rich Lowry and Chris Barron.
Good times, huh?
If I were a cynical man I would say that there’s at least a 50-50 chance that the elder Donald is really the one doing all this tweeting on Junior’s account. It wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility considering how much we know President Trump LOVES his Twitter account. The lack of “bigly’s” have me thinking it’s Junior, but I just can’t completely decide how cynical I am feeling today. How cynical are you feeling today?
