Doesn't matter who "drafted it" Trump typed it and sent it out at 6 in the morning.

No competent attorney is going to be telling their client to tweet out anything about an on going investigation with the FBI, they are going to say "use your right to say nothing".

All this does is give the FBI more people to talk to. They can now bring the attorney in and Scavino and if they lie they will be in trouble and if they truthfully confirm that Trump sent the tweet then they will have established that not only was Trump involved in the obstruction but that he continued it even further.
