New details about Hope Hicks' White House departure

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.

My comment was directed at the disqualifying effect of domestic violence on a security clearance. I think that Hicks is out for several reasons, the most immediate one being that Mueller is now looking to flip her against Trump. That makes her too much of a liability going forward.

So, a national headline story based on the testimony of one person, supposedly an eyewitness.

La dee da.

Has anyone checked to see if he weighs the same as a duck? Has he turned anyone into a newt?

“If a man can’t control himself with his wife, he won’t be able to with a honeypot, either.”

If a man loves a woman, she can drive him past sanity. Way past sanity. And there’s not a man on the face of the earth who is immune to that.

You can fire aides more or less easily enough, but you cannot fire family — or at least you cannot do so easily.

Actually, it is a common misperception. “Rights” are things the gummint has to act for you to exercise, like voting. “Liberties” are things you can exercise without gummmint assistance. Like speech and bearing arms. The gummint can decide to subsequently punish you for bearing arms or speech but they cannot stop you from doing so.

You’ve never had a clearance, or you wouldn’t ask that.

WTF, she never lied about anything. She just didn’t want to get caught in a technical perjury trap and go to jail for “lying” to Congress. So she outright said she made white lies. Not real lies like Hilary, Obama and all of their minions who have gotten off scott free. She saw all the guys pleading guilty to lying to the FBI for nothing and she was smart enough to realize someone could go after her for saying, “I never lied about anything”.

Bullcrap she lied about anything. And she was not forced from office either. She was burned out after 3 years and she has planned to leave anyway. The timing had nothing to do with her testimony. She ALREADY planned to leave.
