Get ready for the House to call in Hope Hicks and Corallo to testify under oath. A series of short such inquiries seem like a good way to get at the truth.
She is one of the ones I think that is going to end up being indicted still. She apparently wasnât seeking any legal guidance, while handling all the Presidentâs emails. And there are multiple stories out about her making statements like thisâŚ
âShe said, âWell nobodyâs ever going to see those documents,ââ
If she ever followed through on any of those, she is toast. And given that she didnât seek guidance, she almost assuredly did.
Nor do I see the Trumpers rallying to save her. They will all too glad to pen a number of crimes on her for being just a silly young girl who didnât know better. While refuting each and every claim that she was merely following Trumpâs directions.
New name, Hopeless HicksâŚ
All true, but Trump pardoning her seems a given, for just those reasons.
âThe idea that a 20-something press aide would put the President of the United States on the phone to talk about a federal criminal investigation, without his attorneys on the phone, to protect the privilege and that the President wasnât aware of it was just astounding to me,â Corallo said. âAnd terrifying.â
This -in a nutshell - is why our enemies love this Administration and that theyâre doing irreparable damage to our national security.
âShe said, âWell nobodyâs ever going to see those documents,'â Which you know made my throat dry up immediately,â he said. âAnd I just â at that point I just said, âMr. President we canât talk about this anymore. You got to talk to your lawyers
This young lady is going places! -And that place will be a federal penitentiary if she keeps this up. So young and already so arrogant regarding the law. No wonder sheâs Trumpâs favorite.
âWe can take care of thatâ
I think thatâs a flip of the coin, really.
Her hooking up with younger men, probably didnât sit real well with him on the one hand. And, with the narrative I laid out sticking, she isnât any threat to him, either.
On the other hand, Ivanka may intervene on her behalf. I doubt Trump cares much either way.
She was one of the few that handed over documents when Cummings requested them. I can only assume she is cooperating.
That was one disjointed article.
I thought she was getting involved with that guy in the administration that was a wife abuser and had to leave.
âbut Billy Barr saidâŚâ
She left on her own accord. But the scuttlebutt was she left because she was angry at how he was treated by Kelly once the revelations came to light. I donât seem to recall anyone in the administration, including Ivanka, putting up too much of a fight.
Though Maggie Haberman was quite upset at losing her access.
OK. Whatever happened to that little law against; âSuborning Perjuryâ?
Daddy Trump and his fluffer, Hope Hicks conspired with Dipshit Donnie Jr. to LIE to Congress about this UNDER OATH.
Isnât that SUBORNING PERJURY?!?!?!?
I wasnât clear, and just looked up Rob Porter was the guy accused of wife abuse that she started dating before he left the WH. I know she left on her own, but thanks.
Good grief. If the lovely Hope Hicks ends up being sent to a federal penitentiary, she could get some pointers from Martha Stewart before she leaves, about coping. I recall reading that Martha was simply aghast at her sentence and horrified by her minimum-security federal prison. For five whole months! And without Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultra Diamond Transformative Energy Crème to keep her skin well-crèmed.
Or was it La Prairie Cellular Cream Platinum Rare?
Did Corallo just state that Hope Hicks lied to Mueller!!!
Trump and his bunch have some very very serious problems.
Is she going to lie to Congress too?
Did they?
I seem to recall it didnât get that far. The story fell apart quickly when Junior released his own emails on the matter (after he was told the NYT had them and was going to release them). That all happened long before he got hauled before the Senate.
When he did get to the Senate hearing, he basically went with the âI donât recallâ line of answering.
No. It was shown (and Cheeto Mussolini admitted) that he âhelpedâ Donnie Jr. DRAFT HIS FALSE TESTIMONY on Air Force One.
It was only much later, after he was CAUGHT LYING that Don Jr. tap-danced his way out of it by claiming essentially: âIâm too stupid to understand what you asked me.â
Adam Schiff should call him back UNDER OATH and grill him about this.
âThough Maggie Haberman was quite upset at losing her access.â
Is that what Hope Hicks meant by âI had the New York Times handledâ?
[Former lawyer describes explicit attempts to obstruct justice]
Despite how ârecklessâ Trump and his circle was in how it handled the Trump Tower meeting and its fallout, Corallo denied that it amounted to obstruction of justice.
What the ever-living f***? How are we supposed to reason with these people?
