How Hope Hicks’s Testimony Again Destroyed The Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative
The Federalist ^ | Margot Cleveland

Posted on 06/24/2019 11:13:45 AM PDT by Hojczyk

“And how was the media mischaracterizing Donald Trump, Jr.’s remarks?” Lieu quizzed. The media “made it seem like there was Russian money coming into the Trump Organization in a way that was inappropriate or somehow sinister,” when Trump Jr., was merely “describing the kinds of clientele that were purchasing luxury apartments, both in New York City, Chicago, and in South Florida.”

“They’re a luxury, globally recognized real estate company,” Hick explained, so “it would be odd if [the Trump Organization] weren’t selling to people just because they’re affiliated with Russia.”

By the end of her nearly eight hours of testimony last week, Hicks obliterated many of the Russia-collusion talking points pushed by Democrats and the media for the last three years, even more expertly than Mueller did in his special counsel report. As one Democrat noted during the hearing, Hicks was “with [Trump] every day,” during both the primary and general election. She would have known had the campaign colluded with Russia.

Yet her testimony made clear there was no Russia strategy, significant contact, collaboration, or collusion, which is why when Hicks was asked whether she thought the president “might be angry about [her] testifying before Congress today,” her ready reply punctuated her significant—but unreported—testimony: “I think the president knows that I would tell the truth, and the truth is there was no collusion. And I’m happy to say that as many times as is necessary today.”

Poor Nadler and Schiff still looking for a Russian boogeyman in all the wrong places. They need only ask Hillary about her collusion with Russia, or Biden.

They knew since Trump announced for the presidency, that there were no skeletons in Trump’s closet; at least not any that would derail his candidacy and eventual presidency.

Which is why they knew they had to set him up, even going as far as fabricating a story about collusion with Russia. They lost on the Russia thing, but, they were and are resting their diminishing hopes on obstruction of justice. And they’re losing on that end too.

So, they’ll be going back to his ‘notoriety’ with women, including charges of sexual harassment. They’ll also be bringing back stories about unethical business practices.

Trump cannot be allowed to keep his ‘job’, and so, he’ll have to put up with presidential harassment for the next 5 1/2 years.

Wait a minute.

According to many nattering nabobs on FR Hope Hicks is a good looking bimbo who was another poor choice for a WH role. She “is only interested in writing a book” and will sell Trump down the river.

Wrong. Completely WRONG.

Never ask questions you don't already know the answers to - or in the case of the crooked Left, don't ask questions you do already know the answer to.

“....Trump cannot be allowed to keep his ‘job’, and so, he’ll have to put up with presidential harassment for the next 5 1/2 years.....”

Hopefully, their master (Satan) will become so frustrated and disgruntled with them, he’ll dispatch the Grim Reaper to collect their dark, evil souls that he already owns.....especially, the vile demonic Botoxian, Fat Cat Jerry, Chuck the Shmuck, bug-eyed Shiftie and hopefully a few dozen other UniParty hacks.

Thanks Hojczyk.

The weird thing about this is that everyone knows that, for public testimony, a good lawyer never asks a question the answer to which he already knows.

Trumps “friendly” witnesses speak as a person would if they had the truth on their side and have zero respect for those asking the questions.

I wonder if anyone has ever mentioned to Nader and Schiff that they might do themselves good to check the Hillary connection to collusion. This I am sure that their advisers have never ever mentioned this as a possibiity. Good point Lets hope they look into the DNC server and start the real search to get to the bottom of this mystery.... Good detective work 1OldPro

Store clerk: “Sorry, Mr. Hrycenko, we can’t sell you groceries because you’re Russian. Nope, no cigarettes either.”

It also needs to be pointed out repeatedly to generations who do not remember it that Hillary and her fellow travelers LOVED Russia when they were full-bore communists!

If these fraud peddling democrats think they can govern after all they've put this country through, and think they can just get elected and waltz in to power, they've got another think coming.

As far as I'm concerned they are from here on out illegitimate.

The only thing that came out of her testimony was her sex life.
