Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter said that Dowd should be disbarred for writing a tweet that incriminated his client.

Conway told Fox & Friends on Monday: “The lawyers are the ones that understand how to put those tweets together,” supporting Dowd’s assertion he was behind the message.
