Well, after wasting taxpayer money and Hope Hicks' time on Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee has released the full transcript of Trump's former communications director's testimony. It largely revealed absolutely nothing new, but it also confirmed what we all already knew -- New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler is an absolute jerk.
In Michael Wolff's now discredited book, 'Fire and Fury,' the author claims that Hicks, one of President Trump's closest allies and a key player in the 2016 campaign, had an on-and-off relationship with Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski who happens to be married.
The supposed affair was never confirmed, but that did not stop Rep. Nadler, while using your tax dollars, to "mistakenly" refer to Ms. Hicks several times as 'Ms. Lewandowski' during the closed-door hearing. Nadler, by the way, is the chairman of this committee and is supposed to be a leader for his colleagues.
On page 12 of the transcript released, Rep. Nadler first called Ms. Hicks the wrong name.
Chairman Nadler. No, sir. Are you asserting any privileges in declining to answer the question?
Mr. Purpura. We are not, Mr. Chairman.
Chairman Nadler. Ms. Lewandowski?
Ms. Hicks. As a former senior adviser to the President, I'm 12 following the instructions from the White House.
Then, on page 20, Rep. Nadler did it again.
Chairman Nadler. Ms. Lewandowski -- sorry -- Ms. Hicks, read the next two sentences also if you have it.
Ms. Hicks. Sure. The President directed that Sessions should give a speech publicly announcing -- the dictated message went on to state.
Finally Hicks, who was supposed to be there to answer questions relating to the Russian investigation, defended herself and corrected Rep. Nadler. On page 25, this interaction happened:
Chairman Nadler. Yeah. Ms. Lewandowski, I think, in reading this --
Ms. Hicks. My name is Ms. Hicks.
Chairman Nadler. I'm sorry, Ms. Hicks. I'm preoccupied.
So there are three things going on here. The first is that Nadler genuinely thought her last name was Lewandowski, in which case he should not be asking questions if he does not even know who he is speaking with. The second is that he was not paying attention and needs assistance focusing. Or the third, and the most likely reason, is that he was simply trying to throw a few jabs to knock Hicks off her game by hinting at her alleged affair. If I were a betting man, I'd take the third option in this scenario which makes Rep. Nadler a total jackwagon.
I’m sorry, Ms. Hicks. I’m preoccupied.

this is today’s big story, yet it’s not up as an article on FR as yet:
20 Jun: Washington Examiner: NYT reporter flagged Jared Kushner meetings with Russians to FBI
by Daniel Chaitin
(NYT) Journalist Michael Schmidt sent an email on March 24, 2017, to FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Michael Kortan, stating that his colleagues were reporting on the FBI’s Russia investigation and had stumbled onto some information about President Trump’s son-in-law and top adviser.
“Wanted to flag you on something. Three of my colleagues are working on a story about the Russia investigation. Theyre told that Jared Kushner is among the individuals who the F.B.I. is scrutinizing for their meetings with Russians,” Schmidt said. “My colleagues were told that Ambassador Kislyak, after meeting Kushner and General Flynn in early December at Trump Tower, set up a meeting with Kushner and a Russian banker. Kushner ultimately met with the Russian banker. The banker worked for Alpha Bank. Thanks. Mike.”...
The email was obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch...

I am 59. I am continually amazed at the scum that has ascended to elected office in this country. Whenever I become convinced that it cannot get worse - it subsequently does. And this happens almost daily.
Sophomoric games in Congress? Sure sign of a loser.
When is this ugly human being going to pass out for good?
Hicks is a hottie and should be on that: ‘Ours vs. Theirs’ poster.
Can we just get some people representing us without all of the bullsh*t? Is that too much to ask?
Geez.
As to Nadler and his ilk... stereotypes do not arise out of thin air.
Exactly, this is juvenile teenage type stuff at the highest levels of government...really sick.
This clown needs to have an accident.
Hicks
Lewandowski
sure, I can certainly see how one could confuse those 2 names by being distracted.
especially since she had her name on a nice placard in front of her and has never in her life been a “Lewandowski”
totally believable excuse from the Fatboy apologists defending him today
Nadler is a sicko!
When they asked about her Love Life, she should of said, heys Nad’s
when was the last time you saw your dick?
Chairman Nadler. Yeah. Ms. Lewandowski, I think, in reading this —
Ms. Hicks. My name is Ms. Hicks.
Chairman Nadler. I’m sorry, Ms. Hicks. I’m preoccupied.
*******************************************
Youre not preoccupied, Nadler, youre a low-class, disgusting jerk!
Interesting. Im not even sure what to make of that story.
I think "theirs" is Christine Blasey Ford.
It's called "baiting".
Makes about as much sense as calling Kamala Harris “Ms. Brown”.
