Discussion: House Intel Republicans: Hicks ‘White Lies’ Admission Was A ‘Setup’ By Dems

2 Likes

I think it’s fair to ask which lies Rep. Stewart and Rep. Rooney have told the American people in the course of discharging their duties.

After all, if everybody does it (as they say), I’m sure everybody will be totally understanding.

P.S. I have never, in my entire life, been in a professional capacity and been told by my boss to lie, about anything, to anyone.

How desperate can one get? The House Intel Repubs are accusing the Dems of being ventriloquists? I call BS, and those words came solely from my mouth and mind!

Unbelievable. These people will go to any lengths to cover up for Trump and his gang. Hopefully, the general public is not buying these stories.

So you’re saying these guys have to be ‘set-up’ to tell the truth?

A setup!

If she betrayed even a shred of honesty – under oath, under penalty of perjury and probably at risk of a lot more, and on advice of her counsel – it had to be a setup!

Wow. Words really fail.

To paraphrase a great line from “Apocalypse Now”, “The bullshit piles up so fast in the Republican Congress, you need wings to stay above it.”

Shorter GOP argument: “A dumb broad like Hope Hicks can get tricked by questions asking if she lies”.

O I see kind of like a Perjury Trap but not.

How about the Scared and Stupid Trap - I think that may have been the one she got caught in.

I believe the correct and polite journalistic term is “whiny-ass titty babies”

Perjury traps exist for lying morons like Hicks and, well, the entire Trump cadre.

Reps. Chris Stewart (R-UT) and Tom Rooney (R-FL) say Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee questioned White House Communications Director Hope Hicks in a manner that forced her to acknowledge she sometimes tells “white lies” for President Donald Trump.

They sent her down a rabbit hole that she could not get out of. And it was completely unfair,” Rooney told CBS News. “I think the fair representation is that it was a setup: Use an extremely gratuitously broad question to make her look bad and ignore the rest of the nine hours that we were down there,”

This the best excuse you have?

Seriously??
