Facts are stubborn things.

On Monday morning, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the Rockefeller Center office and Park Avenue hotel room of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.  The FBI seized business records, emails and documents covering several topics, including those related to a payment to adult actress Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels.

The president went to Twitter to vent at the law enforcement action, taken with a duly signed warrant from a federal judge. Federal prosecutors obtained the search warrant based on information indicating the possibility of bank fraud by Mr. Cohen.


Trump is also reported to have expressed outrage in a meeting with senior military commanders Monday night, calling it a “disgraceful situation” and an “attack on our country in a true sense,” accusing the Justice Department of a “witch hunt” and claiming the FBI “broke in to” Cohen’s office.

Many were quick to correct Trump's understanding of legal procedures and due process under United States criminal statutes, including Michael Avenatti, the lawyer currently involved in his own legal tangle with both Cohen and Trump. Avenatti represents Stephanie Clifford in her suit against the two men.

Avenatti was by no means the only person to weigh in with legal advice for the president.

Trump's Tweets garnered a slew of comments from individuals willing to offer advice or references to statutes and regulations or to correct his characterization of the law enforcement action as a "witch hunt."

Among them, Mrs. Betty Bowers, an internet personality billed as "America's Best Christian."

Mrs. Bowers, a character of comedian Deven Green, was joined by many others responding to Trump's Tweet about the nullification of attorney client privilege.

This gentleman simply offered a new interpretation for Trump's MAGA slogan:

Robert Downey Jr. Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Clue Who Tom Holland Was Despite Starring In Several Movies With Him

It’s been nearly six years since Gwyneth Paltrow last suited up as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet according to Robert Downey Jr., she still struggles to tell certain Avengers apart.

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

Gavin Newsom Just Hilariously Trolled President Trump's New 'Walk Of Fame' With A Brutal One Of His Own

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump by riffing off the presidential "Walk of Fame" Trump unveiled in the White House back in September, gifting us the "Presidential Walk of Fatigue" instead.

In September, Trump's assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former U.S. presidents. Martin announced that "The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade," and the video she shared pans over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.
