Washington Post: Trump lawyer: The president is not under investigation for obstruction
A member of President Trump’s legal team said Sunday that Trump is not under investigation by the special counsel, an assessment at odds with a Washington Post report last week and seemingly with a tweet by Trump himself on Friday.
“Let me be very clear here, as it has been since the beginning, the president is not and has not been under investigation for obstruction,” lawyer Jay Sekulow said on “Meet the Press.”
The Post reported last week that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who was appointed to oversee the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election, is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice.

WNU Editor: It makes me wonder if we are being trolled .... because on every Sunday morning news show President Trump's lawyer made it very clear that the President is not under investigation. So who told the Trump legal team that this is the case? And more importantly .... why did the President do the tweet on Friday? Did the President believe the Washington Post story and tweeted accordingly .... or did he screw up his message because of Twitter's 144 character limitation on what you can post .... or did he lapse into a covfefe moment. I leave this all it up to you .... the reader .... to figure this one up.

Here's a thought
How about Comey or one of his cabal like Mueller go on national television and say Trump is not under investigation.
After all Comey did so for Hillary and she was caught red/left/Liberal-handed with an illegal server in her residence.
"Oh boy, this is weird," Wallace interrupted. "You don't know whether there is an investigation. You just told us that."
LMFAO
"after saying [he isn't]," Wallace observed.
"No, he's not being investigated!" Sekulow shot back.
"You just said he's being investigated," Wallace noted.
Sekulow tried again to say that the president is not under investigation, but Wallace interrupted.
"Sir, you just said two times that he's being investigated," the Fox News host said. "And he's not just being investigated for firing Comey, there's also what he said to Comey when Comey was still the FBI director."
It gets better Jay.
ABC is saying that no decision has been made to investigate the Pres.

I am getting the sense that we are all being trolled.
LMFAO,
In the normal course of any investigation, the first thing police do is officially inform the suspects that they are under investigation and what crimes they are being investigated for,
That way the suspects have a fair chance to hire lawyers, destroy evidence and intimidate or kill witnesses,
LMFAO,
Who are you going to believe?
Trump say's he's under investigation, ( witch hunt, perhaps he won't float),
His lawyer say's he under investigation for not being under investigation,
LMFAO
