The Porter thing**secret meeting with the press [View all]

[MaryMagdaline]

This whole secret meeting with the press thing really stinks to high heaven. A couple of points, some related, some not:
1. The secret meeting could not have happened without Hope Hicks allowing it to happen
2. Hope Hicks OR Trump pushed Huckaby Sanders to hold the meeting
3. Porter lied to the press and probably told the FBI the same lie (fighting over a vase)(WHY IS THAT OK, ANYWAY?)(How upset can one get about a vase?
4. Porter called his ex-wife a "fucking bitch" IN FRONT OF FOUR REPORTERS.
5. Porter cannot contain himself around 4 reporters ... the meeting was set up so that he could clear the air?
6. If Porter lacks self-control in public meetings with reporters, and cannot stop himself from beating up his wives/girlfriends, no one at the White House should have permitted him to work there.
7. The reporters who agreed to the off-the-record meeting should be ashamed. They have to go into that meeting knowing that there is a POSSIBILITY that Porter will confirm his unsuitability for the job .... what exactly were they going to do with the information if he failed the test of credibility? and he absolutely did! That's not the same as someone going off record to bring information to the press to help further an investigation ... going off record to BURY an investigation, for other than national security reasons (leaking plans for DDay, etc.) is unprofessional and unethical
8. Hope Hicks has opened herself up for a lawsuit for sexual harassment. She outranks Porter and is having an affair. The affair is probably what caused her to jeopardize his career ... the man could have been told months ago to get a position outside the White House so that no one would find out about is background report ... the stupid off-the-record meeting with the press jeopardized his career in the federal government
9. At a MINIMUM, Hope Hicks has to resign. She is a target for sexual harassment lawsuits and a liability to the American government.
