Hope Hicks' blind spot

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me Hope Hicks described the defendant quite well. She just doesn’t recognize that Michael Cohen and TFG are cut from the same cloth.

From her testimony:
“ I did not know Michael to be an especially charitable or selfless person; he is a kind of person who seeks credit,”
Sound like anyone we know?

Cohen liked to "used to like to call himself Mr. Fix It.”
Anyone else remember TFG’s 2016 campaign ? Didn’t he say “I alone can fix it “ at the GOP convention?

It’s the second part of that quote that chills me “but it was only because he first broke it.” We can all agree that there are things that were broken within the GOP before TFG, but his history of breaking things long preceded his GOP affiliation, and continues today.

I hope she reads her own testimony and figures it out.

evil and complicity she was a part of. Me thinks she often got breaks because of her looks, not her substance.

At least she got herself an independent attorney, who wisely told her tell the truth.

she realized how damning her testimony was to Trump, her former powerful boss. She was feeling like a traitor to him.

Her decision making process is obviously flawed - one word - Lewandowski.
