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.
100%
Only in his dreams would so beautiful a woman as Hicks even look at Nadler. He could only WISH she, or any beautiful woman, would look at much less have an affair with him! The Pig!!!
Shows how serious they are about the investigation.
The big question is, has the scum ascended, or has the scum always been there and it just can’t be hidden.
My take? The GOP hasn’t changed, the dems have gone straight to hell. Today’s dems are not the dems of the past.
Bullying a female. Disgusting POS.
I do not remember the major media outlet which pushed the story, but both Hicks and Lewandowski deny it, to my knowledge.
Nadler was trying to rattle Ms. Hicks.
Belt too tight around the blimp?
Shouldn’t he be referred to the EThics Committee and Sanctioned for his Blatant Sexual Discrimination and Derogatory Comments of a sexual nature???
When treated rudely at a faux hearing. Walk out
Ms, Hicks should have called him Fat Jerry and then claim that she was distracted.
Ms, Hicks should have called him Fat Jerry and then claim that she was distracted.
Prying into the lovely Hope’s sex life is actually the only “sex” Fat B@st@rd has anymore.
Would be more subtle is she referred to him as Chairman Naadless.
Without a doubt, even though they'd probably do nothing. At least it would be on the record he's a lowlife scum and has no business being on the House Judiciary Committee let alone as the Chairman of it.
while it’s scary that mental dimwits are in such positions of power, it is Congress and that is what the framers envisioned. What scres me more is that unelected dimwits are in positions of power, Lois Lerner, Brennan, Comey, Morell, Clapper, Strzok, etc and etc.
Remember when in your youth you were comforted in the knowledge that the world was run by adults.
Maturity happened when you realized how the world was really run. 'Ratz still don't.
Perfect!!
Borrowing!!
I agree. If he called me not by my correct name, I would have examined my nails while whistling absentmindedly.
Described elsewhere as a “battery operated cipher”...
My guess is Jabba The Nadler knows exactly what he was doing...Ground rule: When a Rep does this it’s “hate”; when a Dim does it, he “misspoke”...
Personally I don’t care who either of them sleeps with, married or not, as long as they do their jobs. And both of them did tremendously.
[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.]
The Democrats are utterly shameless. The Uniparty Republicans are often not much better.
But it seems the Democrats are very good at mining scum for public office (no insult to scum by comparing it to Nadler).
