Behind The Tweet: Letter of Intent

Yet another example of why you should never trust a tweet. Saw this on Twitter:

BREAKING—In mere weeks we went from "no collusion with Russia" to "here's a Letter of Intent Trump signed with some Russians while running." pic.twitter.com/GcFmGRnpd8

Seth Abramson, a lawyer according to his bio (but mainly a pundit) said, and I quote, “here’s a Letter of Intent Trump signed with some Russians while running.”

Obviously we know not to trust a tweet from some random dude on the Internet. So I found an article from a legit source, Business Insider: ‘Help world peace and make a lot of money’: Here’s the letter of intent to build a Trump Tower Moscow.

Scroll down to the bottom of the letter of intent.

There’s no signature from Trump or any Trump representative.

Even if it *was* signed, it doesn’t show collusion to win an election. It shows an agreement to build a tower. Related? Sure. But strictly illegal? I doubt it. It falls in a deep, smoky gray area. Which is also known as “the real estate business.” *rimshot*

The left shoots themselves in the foot every time they claim to have a smoking gun that obviously *isn’t* a smoking gun.

P. S. This is why Twitter should never allow editing tweets. So activists can be held accountable for spreading lies and misinformation.
