Democrats Angry Hope Hicks Didn't Answer Questions As They Waste Taxpayer Money On A Witch Hunt

What a colossal waste of time Wednesday was for the American taxpayer and former White House communications director Hope Hicks. President Trump's former right-hand lady testified before the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors relating to special counsel Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, but apparently, she declined to answer a variety of questions related to her tenure in the White House. This was expected and it was not exactly clear what the House Judiciary Committee was expecting to get out of Hicks and her team of lawyers besides one or two quotes they could use for fundraising purposes.

"There's a whole bunch of lawyers in there," Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) lamented to NPR during a break in the hearing. "She's staffed up with many lawyers — her own lawyers, White House counsel lawyers — all there to make sure that she follows White House directions to not share information, to prevent Congress from conducting its oversight."

Hello, Congress? The Executive is a whole separate branch of government. Do you subpoena court clerks, judges and attorneys to "exercise oversight" over Supreme Court decisions you don't like?

If they're on a witch hunt, they called the wrong woman! The dims have witches a-plenty already! With Hope Hicks, they got an Angel!

Nope, if they wanted the Wicked Witch of the East, there's the HildaBeast, or the Wicked Witch of the West, there's Pelousey. The Crazy, Wicked Witch of the Bronx, there's AOC, and then there's Tweedle Dumb and TweedleDumber, the Muslim Wicked Witch Twins
