During his latest Twitter rant, President Donald Trump made a comical error while arguing that Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer who recently pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, shouldn’t get off scot-free.
Last week, Cohen pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements regarding a real estate deal Trump was pursuing with Russia during the presidential election, telling the court that he lied in order “to keep up with political messaging and out of loyalty.”
In a memorandum filed on Friday night, Cohen’s lawyers asked that their client avoid jail time, as he’s fully cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, reported CNBC — but that doesn’t sit well with the president.
However, while making his argument against Cohen, Trump humorously misspelled the term scot-free, which refers to avoiding punishment, in such a way where it seemed like he was instead referencing a person named Scott Free.
“Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time,” Trump tweeted on Monday. “You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term?”
“He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get……his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free,” he continued. “He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence.”
ETC...

DC invented the parallel universe for comic book stories (Flash of two worlds), and Superman has “died” at least half a dozen times , and faked his death many times. In the Silver Age, they don’t stay dead. I remember one ridiculous story line where Lightning Lad (of the Legion of Superheroes) was dead, and for some reason, his sister, Lightning Lass masqueraded as him, and was only caught because she didn’t have a Adam’s Apple. eventually LL’s outer space electrified burial spot reanimated him Frankenstein style, and by the time the dust settled Lightning Lass lost her ability to make lightning but gained the power to render any object weightless, so she was rechristened “Light Lass”. That was the DC Silver Age, when comic books were aimed at 10 year old boys, and there was no need to kill the Mrs. Dibnys of the world.
LOL, “Kentucky Fried Movie”...that is a blast from the past!!!
