President 'Individual-1' Trump Hasn't A Clue, But Twitter Wits Aim to School Him
President Donald Trump apparently doesn’t have an inkling that he is “Individual-1” implicated in suspected crimes linked to Russia and payoffs to women in court documents filed Friday by special counsel Robert Mueller. If he did, Trump wouldn’t have crowed that he has been “totally” cleared by the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that favored him.
And so a furiously popular hashtag has been launched by agog tweeters: #Individual1.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) tried to break the bad news to Trump on Twitter — gently.
Dear @realDonaldTrump: I think you might not know that the person prosecutors identify as Individual-1, who committed multiple felonies, is you.
You may want to read the court filings today. https://t.co/w7gn0kazzw— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) December 7, 2018
Others — including heavy-hitters like Constitutional law expert Laurence Tribe and former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara — were snarkier, or downright scathing.

WOW: The Dec 7 filing in SDNY on Michael Cohen’s sentencing charges that President Trump (aka “Individual 1”) directed a criminal conspiracy with his attorney Cohen to violate the federal election laws in order to increase his odds of winning the presidency by deceiving voters.

Inspiring reminder: In America anyone can grow up and become Individual-1

"Who is Individual-1?" is the mystery we all want to solve. I was able to narrow the possibilities, based on the charging document for Michael Cohen! It's someone who "had become the President of the United States" by January 2017. You're welcome. pic.twitter.com/ULOqHLUvQH

The level of stupidity or brainwashing it would take to believe this tweet from #Individual1 https://t.co/bXYf4J24yD

There is nothing funny about the mueller and SDNY filings today...
Except for the fact that no one told @realDonaldTrump that he is #Individual1— ALT- Immigration 🛂 (@ALT_uscis) December 8, 2018
Oooohhhhh!!! I get it! You’re going for an insanity defense! That could actually work! Good plan, Stable Genius! #Individual1 #MuellerFriday

These sentencing memos detail Russian collusion and campaign finance violations. Filings also reveal massive conspiracy between Trump and Cohen to mislead the public. There is an unindicted co-conspirator occupying the Oval Office. #Individual1 https://t.co/psY8ZkTPrA
