Uhm..WHAT!?

1. Oh, it's as simple as that! Close all the courts! Fire all the lawyers! Trump shows us

the "Way".

[onetexan]

17. certified mail? seriously?

that will let the DOJ and CIA & FBI & Senate all stop investigating at once.

[The_Casual_Observer]

20. It's the thing we have all missed all this time, declare your innocence via certified mail. Case is

then closed.

[dhill926]

2. oh...ok then....gosh I feel better about this now...

[tanyev]

3. Like how we got Dr. Feelgood's letter instead of any actual medical records?

[not fooled]

4. Oooohhh, it's Certified

Then it MUST be true. That's all I need.

Move along, nothing to see here.

[LisaM]

5. Anyone can send a certified letter.

If he means it's going to have a sworn statement certifying he had no ties to Russia, I'm kind of curious as to what kind of law firm he's hired to do this.

[cstanleytech]

6. I suspect its going to be rather carefully worded. nt

[Phoenix61]

27. A really, really expensive one nt

[Laf.La.Dem.]

7. From his lawyer or from is "doctor"

[jmowreader]

8. This is the kind of shit sovereign citizens do

When a sovereign citizen sends his forms to the government explaining that they're not going to pay taxes or hold a driver's license ever again, they always send them by certified mail. Trump apparently thinks this works.

18. !!!

[Scarsdale]

29. Beavis, Butthead and Olive Oyl

Are they all Russia free, also? Both dumb sons have bragged about all the Russian $$$ pouring into their business. Now, it was fake??

Remembering that this is what Trump is, will help you filter anything he says from now on.

39. LOL

[LeftInTX]

44. My dad always told me to send important stuff certified mail.

[jmowreader]

45. Trump is able to have his letters couriered to their recipients

Here's an example of what I was talking about:

This guy is sending total bullshit through the mails...but he believes that by sending said total bullshit Certified Mail, it magically becomes valid.

[Stonepounder]

9. Yeah, and when he goes out and shoots someone on Broadway at noon, like he said he could,

he'll just get that law firm to send a certified letter saying he didn't do it.

[Judi Lynn]

19. Just the way his doctor claimed Trump is perfectly fine! n/t

[JudyM]

10. Bizarre.

[funkybutt]

11. Could this have mean something else?

Could a law firm have been hired to do a financial forensic analysis that they "certify" confirms that Trump has no financial ties to Russia?

I'm just trying to make some sense of this. And if so, what kind of firm would do this kind of "work" for the POTUS?

[mdbl]

12. Is it a Russian Law firm?

[LisaM]

33. You know, now that you mention it....

I have some recollection of some law firm with Russian ties coming up a few months ago. Ring a bell?

[LisaM]

34. I found it! His law firm won an award from Russia.....

13. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[LiberalArkie]

14. Is it from his law firm of Dewey, Cheetham & Howe ?

[Scarsdale]

30. Liberty U

lawyers that Dubya filled the Dept. of Justice with.

[tomp]

15. insanity. nt

[greymattermom]

16. Certified letter

doesn't mean anything, just that someone signs that the letter was received. How about testifying under oath, and have Ivanka and Jared do that also, since they are now federal employees (I think).

[NRaleighLiberal]

21. reminds me of the SNL Jon Lovitz character The Pathological Liar

"yeah, that's the ticket"

[Stuart G]

22. Uhm...WHAT?

...What will it be?
...What will we see..
...A letter to a senator
...Who is not a sucker upper.
...Will the be enough
...To stop this stuff?

...You see that Trump is a dump...and of course,,,
All my apologies to garbage dumps.

No it will not do
Even to send two
Trump is going down
and he is a clown...........All my apologies to the clown lovers out there...thank you

[milestogo]

23. Well if its certified the contents must be true.

[displacedtexan]

24. That bank of Cyprus means there are no Russian ties, damn it!

Trump is pissed because he has gone to great lengths to set up go-betweens like that bank and those casinos and hotels, so that no one can claim he's directly involved with any Russians.

Thank goodness, he's a dumb shit. Were he actually intelligent, we'd really be in trouble!

25. Trump started his Presidency by lying before God with his hand on the Bible.

Trump started his Presidency by lying before God with his hand on the Bible.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

[marybourg]

26. Too bad Nixon didn't know this!

He could have sent a certified letter saying "I am not a crook" and that would have ended the whole thing. Poor schlub.

[-Steph-]

28. I imagine he's doing this so the right-wing media can begin repeating incessantly that it's

now been certified by a team of lawyers that Trump doesn't have any financial ties with Russia. Just another way to brainwash the masses in my opinion. Even though the letter will actually prove nothing at all, it will be enough for the average Joe Republicunt to feel Trump's been vindicated. They'll be falling over themselves to like/retweet/share the very thing that was created to help keep them misinformed.

32. Like the October 2016 letter to the NYT huh

You all recall the one where trumps lawyers told the NYT we're gonna sue if the Times doesn't retract their story.

35. "So let it be written, so let it be done."

Best Republican leader ever

[MGKrebs]

36. Well he is certifiable.

Jus' sayin'.

37. Can we say

Caught red handed, by any chance

38. His word is as good as his hair dye. nt

[SergeStorms]

40. Stop the investigation!

If "The Donald" says it, then it MUST be true, right?

[sarcasmo]

41. This is like Trump's Doctor saying, he has the best health.

42. And a Genuine Cashier's Check

made out to CASH for ONE-HUNDRED(!!!) United States Dollars.

43. Can you send a postcard certified mail?

I want to ask Cruz and Cornyn for an independent prosecutor.
