When did he know Hope Hicks was positive?
When did he know that he was positive?
It is reminiscent of Typhoid Mary
Typhoid Mary was a woman who having been discovered to have Typhoid continued to go out and have contact with people, working as a cook and not washing her hands. She forced into restricted quarantine and when released changed her name and went out cooking and killing people until she was found again and forced into permanent quarantine.
Knowing that you have a fatal contagious disease and knowingly exposing people to it is a criminal matter.
Its good that the doctor refused to lie by giving a false date for when he was positive but not being transparent he moved it into the cover up status.

(53,061 posts)5. The point about Hope Hicks is not that she is culpable rather if Trump knew that she was positive
and did not self quarantine and in fact continued to make public appearances and contact people without wearing a mask, he did so knowing that he had a very high chance of being contagious and making other people sick.
BTW neither Hope Hicks or Senator Johnson were at the SC announcement.
It is entirely possible that Trump was contagious and gave it to Hope Hicks.

(47,458 posts)6. Christie wasn't at the SC announcement either, was he?
He apparently got it from Trump during debate prep. If that is so, then Trump was infectious during the debate.

Hope Hicks is erroneously being used to confirm their phony timeline
