President Donald Trump’s Latest Misspelling Has Twitter Users Wondering: Who Is Scott Free?
People ^ | 12/03/18 | Maria Pasquini

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...

Scott Free= Mr.Miracle from Jack Kirby’s New Gods. I always knew Trump was more of a DC guy than Marvel.

Another light-weight media oligarch feels the need to bully the public with a lame-ass fake news item.

I didn't like Kirby joining up with DC. That whole Darkseid/New Gods/Forever People were wird.

I do agree that DJT is more (Silver Age) DC than Marvel. Marvel guys are filled with moral ambiguity and angst. Trump doesn't do angst.

"Scott Free" refers to those demoncrap voters in San Francisco who do unmentionable activities on public sidewalks, without the benefit of Scott tissues...

And Scott Free Productions produced the movie “White Squall”. And in the movie is the phrase “Were we go one We go all”(WWG1WGA). Just check out the movie trailer:

the fake news media has to keep these stories floating across your screens, in the printed word and soon “sky writing” all intended to bring down Trumps overwhelming popularity as shown by his massive crowds whenever he has one of his rallies. Name one demodummie that can draw such a gathering, JUST ONE!

In addition to the mention “WWG1WGA” in the trailer, the boy does not want to be “anonymous”, and the “calm before the storm”. Too funny
