Trump is desperate to avoid having Hicks answer questions about crimes-obstruction of justice & campaign finance violations. She isn’t his wife or his priest & no privilege covers her knowledge of criminal conduct. https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-counsel-hope-hicks-is-immune-from-questions-about-her-time-in-trump-administration …

And today is the big day!!

1. Her lawyer will tell her what to say

And whether to answer, leaving her off scot free.

[dawg day]

5. If her lawyer is HER lawyer, and not Trump's--

He should tell her to tell the truth. I don't know why anyone would risk a perjury charge for that nasty slug Trump.

[elleng]

16. Ditto

[mopinko]

23. yeah, they werent her lawyers.

they were white house lawyers, and they should be fucking disbarred.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. You know what's interesting is that I remember

reading that her friends and family wanted her away from Dipshit. Thought it was hurting her. Like she might not be Sarah-like-wacked-out.

But then I think, if she had serious bombshell dirt, she would have told Mueller? Or he would have indicted her? That's what I don't get about these hearings of people Mueller already wrung out. They are gonna tell Congress something that they didn't tell Mueller?

[elleng]

15. Not if a decent lawyer representing HER.

and not trump. See Joyce Vance's statement.

[Mossfern]

18. It's a White House attorney

and I think it's a form of intimidation to Hicks. (more obstruction) She knows that there will be consequences if the WH lawyer lets Trump know that she 'ratted' on him. I'm not expecting anything out of this.

2. Didn't Hope help Trump write the "it was all about adoption" cover story about the meeting @

Trump Tower in June of 2016 where the Russians promised to work with the Trump
Campaign and to get dirt on Hillary and that would be obstruction of justice.

I hope fear of prison makes Ms. Hicks speak the truth but I doubt that it will happen.

6. She was ironing his inseam at that moment.

[tenderfoot]

3. She's not going give up anything

and people are delusional to think so.

[watoos]

4. Going to have to water board her

[leftieNanner]

7. She has a WH lawyer advising her

And he is objecting to nearly everything that is being asked. Don't know if anything meaningful will come out of this.

[dawg day]

22. The Power of Pretty

Seriously, if she weren't Melania-lite pretty, all shiny hair and gleaming smile, I doubt everyone would be treating her with kid-gloves, and I don't think she would have gotten her fabbo new job.

I just have to point out that she has horrid taste in men:
Corey Lewandowski (reporter-shover)
Rob Portman (domestic abuser)
Donald Trump (serial predator)

And now she's letting Trump decide who "represents her". She'll probably suffer no consequences from lying, but if she does, somehow I doubt Trump is going to help.

8. Immune?

WTF kind of claim is that?

[thesquanderer]

11. Kind of like being "conflicted." Trump doesn't know what these words mean. (n/t)

[LuvNewcastle]

20. The truth is a disease. You need immunity from it.

Get your lawyer to find you a truth vaccine.

[DallasNE]

9. While True

A Whitehouse attorney will be present and they will probably talk more than Hicks. It may require that the attorney be expelled from the hearing (or be given a gag order). They are not counsel to the witness (Hicks) so why not?

[Delmette2.0]

13. This is my hope.

I would think she has gotten an independent attorney and the WH advisor will be kicked out of the closed door hearing.

[elleng]

17. Sounds like a good idea.

[saidsimplesimon]

12. Joyce Vance

is an excellent source. I really appreciate the way she explains the existing law and covers "the short digit vulgarian".

[Sneederbunk]

14. Will transcripts of hearing be published?

[Lulu KC]

19. They are supposed to be

From what I can see on Twitter, they will read like this:
Question: Anything?
Answer: OBJECTION!

[BamaRefugee]

21. perfect ;-)

[Vegas Roller]

24. I love Joyce Vance

She tells it like it is and with precision.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. She may have been his wife in practice, if not law

I'd be willing to place a few dollars on that bet.

[SHRED]

34. She didn't give up anything

And our leaders won't do squat.

Now what?

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. Is there Handmaid privilege?
