can keep up?!), but I remember reading a couple of weeks back that her parents, both Dems, were very concerned about their daughter. I’m sorry for all the broken-hearted family members, I surely am.

Oy.

But she has an affair with (married) Lewandowski. She can't be too smart.

Pretty little petite red head that turns heads. Where are her family? How could they NOT influence her to work for Trump , at her age especially, could have life long implications. I would have used all my parent power to stop her. If I couldn't, I would have plenty saved for a attorney that I know she will need.

What a dumb, but young woman. To hang around a senior citizen, to be his personal server. That makes me ill, her parents and friends will be horrified soon.

Maybe I'm wrong thinking this way, but it won't matter. How the legal system sees it is the final answer.

watching your baby girl make such bad, bad decisions...yes, “dumb but young”; hell, I was that once, but my run ins with the legal system were, thankfully, minimal.

My best to you and your lil red head, gal!

I was watching this Hope Hicks fiasco and wondering what twenty-something has their shit together enough to navigate this situation? I know I wouldn't have been able to at that age. What father/mother would encourage their daughter to be the hand maiden to the Tangeranus? My dad would have kicked my ass if I'd gotten anywhere close to this mess.

Isn't it a bit premature to talk about her downfall? Last time I looked, she is still the Communications Director, and any thought that she is suddenly damaged goods to Drumpf, is pure speculation.

I think sometimes I get so let down, because I come here and read about all the great things that are just waiting to be revealed, only to find out it's the Same Shit, Different Day, and things are getting worse, not better. Or even the same, they're getting worse, and it's just the right doing whatever the hell they want. And we're waiting for Mueller to turn into some sort of Jesus.

I sure hope he does, but days like today just frustrate me more, not make me feel vindicated. By tomorrow, you can bet they'll have their SPIN on this, and will defend Ms Hicks. They knew this was coming, and they'll roll out their defense campaign, as per usual.

So is Mark Corallo getting something in return for telling on Hicks? Sorry, I'm late to the story and if nobody wants to explain.. it's okay. I'll keep studying on it.

Washington (CNN) — Former Trump team legal spokesperson Mark Corallo had concerns that White House communications director Hope Hicks could be considering obstructing justice after a comment she reportedly made about emails between Donald Trump Jr. and Russians, according to a New York Times story.

Hicks allegedly told President Donald Trump on a conference call that the Trump Jr. emails "will never get out," and Corallo plans to share the conversation with special counsel Robert Mueller, the Times reported Wednesday night, citing three people with knowledge of his interview request.

CNN previously reported that Corallo is scheduled to be interviewed by Mueller's team in the next two weeks, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, and is expected to be asked about the Air Force One meeting in which the President and his staff crafted the statement responding on behalf of Trump Jr. to the controversy over the June 2016 Trump Tower campaign meeting.

Wonder if Lawyer Corallo has any proof? Is he suppose to be a good guy or a bad guy?

I don't think he's a good guy or a bad guy. He's a sensible guy who is covering his ass because he knows he saw obstruction of justice and doesn't want to go down with the ship.
