OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Somebody gimme a glazed! Popcorn just ain’t good enough for this!

Now we can finally find out if “pants steaming” is covered under executive privilege.

Little Hopey Hope does seem to be a big blind spot/trigger for the dotard, and since she had a big role in the campaign, it seems impossible to assert any sort of blanket privilege. Campaigns don’t have magic privilege.

I suspect he will be very mad, and sad. No control!

That’ll really steam his pants.

I’ll be in D.C. that week…how do get tickets to this event?

castor_troy · May 21, 2019, 4:52pm

Why bother? She’ll be a no-show and it’ll go to court with the rest of them.

Chiselin’ Trump: “I already called dibs on her.”

darcy · May 21, 2019, 4:52pm

I wonder if she’ll give the committee a Basic Instincts peak? Asking for a friend.

Is it Happy Hour yet? I’d like a schadenfreude cocktail please.

ralph_vonholst · May 21, 2019, 4:53pm

Perhaps under the code of droit de seigneur.

Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson are both young women who are at the beginning of their professional lives. Joyce White Vance reminds that

Their closing in on an impeachment inquiry at least. Hoyer is on board, I think.

carolson · May 21, 2019, 5:08pm

I’m sure some of the team members are frothing at the mouth to testify. I wonder if it’s going to happen.

carolson · May 21, 2019, 5:09pm

And one of our political parties couldn’t care less. Good to know.

ralph_vonholst · May 21, 2019, 5:10pm

Oh, I hope so. I think that Schiff and Cummings are keeping them in reserve.

castor_troy · May 21, 2019, 5:12pm

Cummings mentioned “dozens” of whistleblowers working with committees. To date we’ve really only seen stuff directly connected to one of them-- regarding Kushner’s security clearance.

I expect you’re totally correct, and there are a lot of traps waiting for anyone who comes to testify that decides to be less than truthful.

Hopeless Hickeys was present on the plane when Bloatard doctored Doof Jr’s statement. IIRC she is the one who said no worries it will never get out. What folks really want to know is, is the Big Lewandowski’s actually big?

ralph_vonholst · May 21, 2019, 5:17pm

This is a bit of a LOL. Even now, who in the administration is really in fucking charge?

When I look around, it appears to be Mitch McConnell. Do you think the Rooskies approached him? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?

Courts have (iirc) ruled pretty narrowly about the rank you have to have for executive privilege to apply. Maybe trump will just sue to enforce his NDA.
