When you tweet something to 65 million people to intimidate a federal witness—something you've done many times before—then leave it up for well over a day, just because a New Hampshire professor calls you out and gets 25,000+ retweets doing so doesn't mean you get a take-backsies
PS/ I normally would *never* attribute to this feed the sort of reach and influence I just did, but when I tweeted the "breaking news" that Trump had tried to out the whistleblower I checked Twitter, first: there were *no news stories* on this, and almost no one talking about it.
PS2/ When my tweet alerting Twitter users to what Trump did reached 20,000+ retweets, many people started contacting me saying they hadn't seen the news anywhere but in my tweet—as media had ignored it. Now Trump has—on Twitter—sought to delete his tweet.
It's not a coincidence.

PS3/ The Washington Post botched the timeline of Trump's actions.
Thursday, 12/26: Trump posts retweet
Friday, 12/27: I post about Trump tweet and 25K retweet
Saturday, 12/28: Trump deletes retweet
In between Friday and Saturday, no news outlets were reporting on what happened.

PS4/ I only mention this because this is a story about the power of social media that the Washington Post is burying. To be clear, it's *not* a story about me—I only wrote about what Trump did because *someone alerted me to it*, i.e., like the media I personally had *missed* it.
PS5/ That @realDonaldTrump *broke the law*—by illegally deleting a tweet from a presidential account—because he had been caught out by a New Hampshire professor on Twitter underscores how unstable he is. He's acting without thinking *whatsoever*—something a POTUS must *never* do.
@realDonaldTrump SOURCE/ Here's my tweet about this news, which tweet came (sadly) a full 18 hours after Trump's retweet of the Washington Examiner article with the alleged name of the whistleblower in its headline. That places Trump's tweet on December 26—not December 27.
@realDonaldTrump NOTE/ Had the Post/others gotten their dates right—and given readers an indication of what intervening event on Twitter may have caused the deletion—they would've had a better story. My thread accused Trump of a crime— which suggests he deleted his tweet aware of that accusation.
@realDonaldTrump NOTE2/ I just realized I have some info my readers don't, which may make this thread make a *lot* more sense: because I run this feed and can see its followers, I know *many* Trump officials follow this feed, including most notably top presidential media adviser @KellyannePolls.
