Kellyanne Conways's lawyer husband calls Trump's travel ban tweeting "SAD"

He seems to think it is causing legal problems for DOJ in trying to defend Trump's travel ban

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/05/politics/george-conway-travel-ban-tweet/index.html


"George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and one-time top contender of a key Justice Department job, took to Twitter Monday to criticize President Donald Trump for his morning travel ban tweets.

Trump tweeted several times on the proposed travel ban from six Muslim-majority countries, saying his Justice Department should not have submitted a "watered down, politically correct version" to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department has repeatedly tried to distance Trump's comments as President and during the campaign from its case looking to lift a legal ban against his executive order.

Trump says he's calling it a 'travel ban'

Later Monday, Conway said Trump hurt his case and made things difficult for the Office of Solicitor General, which argues cases before the Supreme Court.
"These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won't help OSG get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad."
