7/ But the actions of Cipollone and Meadows aren’t relevant to Trump’s intent. He certainly intended to appoint Powell, believed he had, and—moreover—Powell thought he did and Cipollone took actions to stop the appointment progressing, suggesting he knew *something* had happened. — PolitiTweet.org

6/ Moreover, he thereafter directed Mark Meadows to complete the paperwork for Powell. Both Trump and Powell appear to have believed that Powell was appointed. Powell did not exercise her authority only because Cipollone (and perhaps Meadows) ultimately unilaterally blocked it. — PolitiTweet.org

8/ So what are we to do with the fact that Trump knew at the time he made his appointment that what Powell planned to do with it was illegal? Indeed, (a) she’d just outlined her intentions to him in writing, (b) he’d just been told in person by two lawyers that they were illegal. — PolitiTweet.org
