Our illustrious President (the great businessman and marketing guru) was interviewed last week by Lester Holt. In that interview, Mr. Trump reference a "certified" letter he was sending to Sen. Lindsay Graham. (We'll just ignore the stupidity of acting like a "certified" letter means anything.)
He said the letter was written by a very prominent law firm. I forget the exact wording...but, as usual, Mr. Trump had to boast and exaggerate...."everyone knows them" or some such thing. Anyway, the letter is here: https://www.vox.com/2017/5/12/15630378/trump-russia-letter It's a pdf...but the letter really isn't that important (one could say it was useless...and they would be right). What is important is this prestigious firm who wrote it....Morgan Lewis.

Is our President really this stupid? To have a letter written by a law firm that is deeply involved in Russia, while the President and his campaign are being investigated for possible collusion with Russia during the election?
There are any number of US accounting firms that could have produced a letter about his taxes. He picks the one that was named Russian law firm of the year???
