It's just too good.
The New York Timesreported on Thursday that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is putting President Trump's tweets under the microscope. He may use the Tweets to help determine whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice in the Russian election tampering investigation.

The tweets may help paint a broader picture about President Trump's actions regarding the Russia investigation, and whether his firing of James Comey, and reported attempts to fire Jeff Sessions, constituted obstruction of justice. The Timesreports that the tweets are just one piece of a larger puzzle, but could help establish a pattern of behavior, and intent to commit a crime.
Trump's lawyer, the tooth-whitener-happy Rudy Giuliani, denied the claims of obstruction of justice to the Times, and rejected the idea that the tweets could be part of it — because they are so public.
“If you’re going to obstruct justice, you do it quietly and secretly, not in public,” Giuliani said.
But Twitter is Trump's forum of choice for influencing public opinion and even announcing policy, so the extremely public platform could play an unprecedented role.
President Trump has already gotten into legal trouble for his use of Twitter. In May, a judge ruled that it is illegal for Trump to block people on Twitter for disagreeing with them, because it violates their right to free speech in a government forum. Trump's tweets about the Muslim ban were also taken into consideration as it wound its way through the courts.
If Trump's tweets are fair game in the Mueller investigation, they should provide a huge amount of fodder for insight into Trump's motivations and obsessions. Whether Trump will sit down with Mueller to really explain what he meant during all of those early morning tweet storms remains to be seen.
But we'll be watching.
