Hi, friends, thank you for all your outreach + concern. I have a longtime attorney and we believe I have acted w/i the bounds of the law. My meeting w/ the Secret Service is informational, not custodial in nature. Our dialogue has been in good faith and I am eager to be helpful. https://t.co/nY29vJ7THj

Some people are a little mind-boggling in their cluelessness. Knowingly breaching a presidential security perimeter and then tweeting about it? And then not understanding that just because the cops want to talk to you, that doesn't mean that at the end of the interview, you won't be escorted out the back door whilst wearing a set of locking bracelets? Does she have any idea how many smart people have talked themselves right into custody, if not prison?
Reminder: If the cops read you your rights, those are "helpful hints" or, if you're younger "life hacks". Shut the fuck up and exercise your right to counsel. And, if they ask you to come down for an interview, again, shut the fuck up and exercise your right to counsel. Or, better yet, decline the invitation altogether.
I never get tired of this:
