New details about Hope Hicks' White House departure
cbsnews.com ^ | March 1, 2018 | Major Garrett

On the day Hope Hicks announced she would be leaving her post as White House communications director, she was "a puddle of tears" during the White House communications meeting Wednesday, according to one eyewitness. President Trump was angered by Hicks' testimony before the House Intelligence Committee -- angered by the fact that she admitted to the panel over the course of nine hours of testimony that she told "white lies" on his behalf. It is doubtful that this would have caused her to resign.

Nothing. Why should Trump care if a man likes to abuse women? Security clearance shouldn’t be based on behavior outside of work.

So telling white lies means you have to resign as communications director from a Republican White House but lying to a grand jury means beating an impeachment and finishing out your two terms as President in a Democrat White House and then going on to make hundreds of millions running a corrupt foundation tied to your wife's time as Secretary of State which led to her breaking numerous security laws and then committing felony perjury before she ran and almost won the Presidency.

I'm so disappointed in that Hope Hicks!

And where are the facts to back this up? Love how they always seem to find a way to insert a snotty sentence or hint of doubt with some conjecture. They really are masters of disillusion language.

a lack of emotional discipline is a character flaw

Yeah. And that dating going on within the WH staff was not a good situation. I haven't liked her since that overseas trip when she seemed to be bringing attention to herself. Both of these suggest character flaws. We need people who live and breathe the deplorable agenda surrounding President Trump.

Why are the Prince and Princess still there?

She lied, got caught, admitted it. Two choices: Take the criticism and move on or quit. She chose the latter. No problem, she’s got a long career and lots of choices in front of her. Maybe time for family, she is 29.

Agreed, Ivanka and Jared need to go home. Bothered that he is apparently capitalizing now on his White House connection. This is bad and will get worse. Just begging for investigations.

And I do not appreciate their NY Liberal out-of-step values that I think drive Trump's wobblyness. Trump does not benefit by them whispering in his ear. Nor does the country.

Yes, Trump lacks a band of believers. Seems like he as instead allowed or intentionally surrounded himself with naysayers, backstabbers, and non-believers that are happier with a Democrat agenda.

Concur. She also needs to better consider her choices of romantic partners — forego liaisons with wife beaters (Porter) and married men (Lewandoski).

Mercedes Schlapp is a good choice for WH Comms Director, although that position has the half life of a fruit fly in the Trump admin.

I figured it was Kelly taking some power away from the Javanka division. I read that another of the Javanka wing packed it in the other day as well. I don’t know quite why, but I don’t care for Jared and Ivanka and the amount of power they seem to have.

Spousal abuse in the military was the number one way to lose your top secret clearance. I was in the Army Security Agency. Watched even a First Sgt get removed and sent over to an infantry unit because the MPs were called to his house on a domestic disturbance.

You need to move to England if you don't live there already.

“Allegations alone from exes have nothing to do with it, although exes are contacted for other reasons.”

Has anyone ever heard whether or not these ‘ex-wives’ filed charges against him at the time these abuses allegedly happened and there is a complaint on record with a police dept. or is this some crap they have been prompted to come up with for some reason (like being paid by the Deep State) now that he was working for POTUS?

I want to know if there is proof of some kind or is this a he said/she said?

The media is having an orgasm because they can repeat endlessly “white lies” in connection with Trump.

And bho gave us the biggest lies ever, but not a word from the vermin in the media.

Is there an official transcript of what she said? If not, the term “white lies” is probably the leftist media’s interpretation of what she said.
