Trump and Hope Hicks

[madaboutharry]

Everyone who comes into the orbit of the Trump crime family ends up with their life ruined. Hope Hicks allegedly said "Donald Jr. emails will never get out" in the context of the Trump Tower meeting. Hope Hicks is now in legal jeopardy for obstruction of justice and being part of a conspiracy to cover up a crime.

What is it that people are so willing to risk their futures to be around this despicable man? I just don't get the hold he has on people.

1. Distruction of Memos,

or withholding said memos. Shades of Nixon only worse.

[Thrill]

2. They arent. They just never thought they would get caught

These people aren’t street smart. None of them will go down protecting Trump. They’ll lie until they can’t anymore. Just like coffee boy George

3. And not just certain individuals but also

the entire GOP has done a 180. Their careers are on the line and they are retiring in droves. I do not understand why they pledge their loyalty to him and then he doesn't ever give any in return. He throws them under the bus in a heartbeat.

9. that's correct bigman

a lot of republicans are not running I think the number is 30.

[BigmanPigman]

10. Brian Williams just said it is up to 34 now.

More planned than in the last 8 years.

15. The Republicans are scrambling because they took laundered Russian mob money, too, not

because of loyalty to Trump.

[BigmanPigman]

19. That's what I do not understand.

It doesn't make sense. They took Dirty Russian Money in 2016 for campaigns but last year and they were all, "Gung ho...let's get those Russians" so why the change?

[ffr]

4. Greed and lust for power. You know, Christian values.

NOT!

5. LOCK HER UP!!

[spanone]

6. i have no clue. everyone leaves with shit on them.

it must be the allure of the immense amount of power.

[MLAA]

7. If I were Hicks parent

I would have done everything in my power to encourage her to resign last spring. I had enough information back then to know anyone in IMPotus’ orbit were at high risk to either ruin their career potential at best and at risk for prison at worst.

8. It's. a. cult.

[JI7]

11. it's about getting away with it for so long . the fact the Republicans refuse

to do anything and are even more pro trump just shows this . they feel like nothing will happen to them.

[sarcasmo]

12. Hope that Hope is smart enough at age 29 to cut a deal, Quick.

[blueinredohio]

13. All these people see are dollar signs

They think Trump has more money than he actually has and hope he keeps them on when he's out of office

[Vinca]

14. What a stupid, stupid young woman.

She seems bright and she's beautiful - she could have anything in this world yet she latches onto the Trumps. Now she might be looking at jail time.

[bigtree]

16. why should anyone care about Hicks?

...or anyone else who thought it was a good idea to make a career out of being Trump's spittoon?

Everything that was widely known about the man before he was even elected should have been enough for decent people to shun him. Money, power, and influence flows through even well-intentioned White Houses, and Trump attracts fellow grifters and white supremacists like flies to shit.

17. $ure is hard know why. $omehow the rea$on e$capes me.

[lagomorph777]

18. "[Why are] people ... willing to risk their futures [for] this despicable man?" ROUBLES!!!

Pretty simple really.
