Act 3. Spin this one-word into a confirmation of the Comey memo:
So you're confirming that the president did ask Comey to cut Flynn some slack? https://t.co/p8a7tdJ33b

News flash. @DonaldJTrumpJr admits @POTUS asked #Comey to back off on Flynn investigation. Also, he takes legal advice from @GeraldoRivera. https://t.co/NifCvjCW8z

Donald Trump, Jr. basically just confirmed that the Comey memo is real. Independent sources had already done so, but he just did as well. https://t.co/QsqlEk4KUg

@DonaldJTrumpJr You realize you just confirmed the Comey memo right? You guys are so stupid Jesus Christ. All these wounds are self-inflicted. Keep talking.

Today's inadvertent confirmation tweet came from Don Jr, but I think we can count it. Runs in the fam. https://t.co/ctpBSUKlGQ
