Hope Hicks Stands By House Testimony About Cohen Convos And Hush Payments | Talking Points Memo

But Obama saluted with a coffee cup so please have some perspective.

With all the stuff and nonsense on TPM this week (and other places as well), I’m seriously debating whether I want to return to the US from Australia tomorrow morning.

For the record, I’m dealing with much brighter US folks on the project team here - no one buys the suicide idea on Epstein. Not a one. But they are dealing here in Australia with the knife attack in the business district in Sydney (I’m in Melbourne, several hours away) that took out a 24 year old woman. Also keeping a close eye on the events in Hong Kong.

Thanks for keeping me up to date, folks.

I blame Hillary and the deep state.

Hicks’ lawyers said that one of her the phone calls with Cohen on the day in question, Oct. 8, 2016, likely had to do with the rumors of a video tape “involving Mr. Trump in Moscow with Russian prostitutes,” not the hush money payments.

Wow. When this is the more “innocent” rationale for your actions, perhaps you need to rethink where your life is headed.

I wonder who’s paying her legal bills. Surely not “use them and lose them” Donald Trump.

And if we actually saw a hard copy of that “pee tape”; at this point -incredibly -I don’t think it would change many minds.

[mount_baldy]

The re-election campaign is paying her legal bills, and others as well. FYI.

Translation: I’m an attractive young white woman with money and connections, therefore none of this matters, I’ll be taken care of, it’s those darker-skinned icky from over there people who have to struggle, not the likes of me. Now about my nails…

[wcarey1010]

So I guess she didn’t believe Trump when he said the pee tapes didn’t exist.

[joelopines]

She looks like a 55-year-old ingenue. The brows look real to me; she may need a lawn mower.

[rickjones]

Paying off porn stars (again) - not worth a call or text.

Pee tapes? Better talk about that and figure out what to do.

[mainemomma]

That’s something once seen, cannot be unseen. Ick.

[rate2]

…claims instead as a defense that she was probably talking about alleged tapes of the president with Russian prostitutes apparently to find out if they really exist, all the time with said president denying that they possibly can.

It’s a real bitch when you don’t even know for sure what your boss has been up to. I mean, she could have just asked him, right? But then she would have known (if he admitted it was true), or she wouldn’t have trusted his answer (if he denied it).

[dave_mb]

God, I couldn’t agree more. The eyebrows are mesmerizing and horrifying.

She is no longer on fleek. Indeed she is off fleek.

[labman57]

Hicks has to remain loyal and lie for Donald if she hopes to get hired by FOX News.

[willard]

Good pick for faux news…She’s simply a vacuous bit of eye candy. I can see here now sitting with her legs crossed along with two mental midget morons beside her. She’ll nod occassionally and open her mouth as duty calls.

[kitty]

45* is POTUS and Joan Crawford eyebrows are everywhere. Very scary times

If he was simultaneously wearing the tan suit their heads would have exploded.

[lizzymom]

You just can’t make this shit up.

[redraleigh]

It does seem, at this point, that 99% of the Trumpeteers around Donald Trump are going to walk away from this whole travesty with no punishment whatsoever for their actions and behavior.

They’ll be back in some future Republican administration to do it all over again.
