My point though is that it may well have been an "unauthorized user", under a reasonable definition of the term. It may have been a completely unauthorized staffer who sent it out on another staffer's open computer. It may have been a staffer who was authorized to send out approved Tweets, but that one was not approved so he was for that message not an "authorized user". They're politicians, and they would see that distinction as spin and hope the spin would make the problem disappear.
I understand. And that's the kind of rhetoric** that we're all sick of, and that's the kind of dishonesty that Trump rails about. Trump calls it lying most of the time, but occasionally he will use the term dishonesty. It's why in a court of law, they have witnesses tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Not spin. Not shades of the truth. Not nuances of the truth.
**The term rhetoric, when used by politicians or the media, is synonymous with bullsh*t. Whey they complain about "Trump's rhetoric," they mean "Trump's bullsh*t." And I'm simply saying that the average American is sick of their rhetoric. You're right, it was probably an "authorized" user for that account, EXCEPT for that one tweet, which didn't have good optics -- it was accurate, but it didn't look good, so they deleted it, and then tried to claim "unauthorized user." Rhetoric. Spin. Rhetoric.
