President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Ty Cobb, is not just a comedically mustachioed and bow-tie wearing power attorney known to loudly discuss his client’s’ case at outdoor tables at chain steakhouses seated next to NY Times reporters. He is now ALSO known for releasing legal statements with grave political and constitutional implications in the typeface “Comic Sans.”
Given that former NSA Dictor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty today in an apparent deal with Special Investigator Robert Mueller, Cobb release a statement that aimed to ostensibly exonerate President Trump from today’s bombshell news and chose for the statement a font that some on Twitter love to deride! For example…

Comic Sans was designed to be the written voice of a cartoon dog, so this kind of makes a lot of sense. https://t.co/2qc0yR54DG
