“Full House” star Bob Saget deleted a cryptic post from Twitter on April 3 as co-star Lori Loughlin appeared at a federal courthouse in Boston for the college bribery scheme.
Saget took to Twitter shortly before 1 p.m. on Wednesday, about two hours before the hearing, to issue the missive, writing: “So many people are lying these days, maybe they should change the tests in school to ‘false or false.'”
Shortly after posting the tweet, Saget removed it.
He later posted again, writing: “So many things I say get misconscrewed (sic).”
So many things I say get misconscrewed.

Both Saget and Loughlin starred on “Full House” and recently reprised their roles in the “Fuller House” series.
Few actors or actresses from either series have addressed the allegations against Loughlin, who federal prosecutors said paid $500,000 in bribes to get her daughters into the University of Southern California by having them falsely designated as recruits for the school’s rowing team.
Saget, 62, when confronted by TMZ in late March, responded: “You know, you love who you love in your life.”
Saget brushed aside a question about whether he thinks Loughlin, who is facing up to 20 years in jail, deserves jail time, referencing comments made by fellow “Full House” star Candace Cameron-Bure.
“I just love who I love. Candace said it really good at the Kids’ Choice Awards: ‘You love who you love,'” Saget said. “Life’s complicated. I don’t like talking about it.”
TMZ tried to get John Stamos, known for playing Uncle Jesse on “Full House,” to comment on the situation, but failed. He said he will comment on the allegations at “some point” but wasn’t ready yet.
Cameron-Bure, meanwhile, took to the stage at the Kids’ Choice Awards along with “Fuller House” stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber to accept an award for Favorite Funny TV Show.
“Thank you for voting Fuller House as your Favorite Funny TV Show,” Barber said, according to E! News. “You have been laughing alongside our family for four seasons and this family has a lot of heart.”
“And where there’s a lot of heart, there’s a lot of love. And a loving family sticks together no matter what,” Cameron-Bure said. “They stick together through the hard times, they support each other, they encourage one another, they pray for each other and they stand by their side no matter how tough it gets.”
“And a loving family that also sticks together, also celebrates the really good times,” she added.
She did not mention Loughlin by name but many believed she was referencing her.
Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli appeared in court on Wednesday and informed a judge that they’d surrendered their passports and would not violate the order to not travel out of the country.
They also waived their right to a preliminary hearing.
Neither Loughlin nor Giannulli has entered a plea. Some experts said that if they are able to reach an agreement with prosecutors, they would likely not be able to avoid jail time, but others said that the high-profile defendants would probably not go to jail.
“If the parents are well represented, it is reasonable to expect that possibly none will go to jail,” said former federal prosecutor Jacob Frenkel. “These are not the type of offenses for which judges exercising their discretion would normally put people in jail.”
