WASHINGTON—Making a sweeping claim of total immunity from congressional demands, White House lawyers accompanied former Trump aide Hope Hicks to a closed-door interview on Capitol Hill Wednesday and instructed her not to answer any questions about her time working for President Trump.
The assertion by the administration that close aides of the president aren’t required to answer any questions from Congress was the latest strike in a long series of skirmishes between the Democratic-run House of Representatives and the Trump...
She is no longer in the White House they are no longer her lawyers and she is obligated to tell the truth to congress. She and the lawyers are in contempt. Do something about it
Where in the White House she sat is neither a matter of nation security or executive privilege, even if it was on Trump’s lap then it becomes more dumpster fire kindling and yet another embarrassment to the US.
Why are WE THE PEOPLE pay for representation of a private citizen. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer
Put the b**** in jail if it was just anybody they will make them answer questions make the b**** answer questions.
She knows where ALL THE BODIES ARE BURIED!! Hiding A LOT
What do they have to hide? It’s probably much worse than we think.
Good she avoided the trap
Waste of time - indict her for contempt and incarcerate her!
Good!
Obstruction of Justice!
No crimes, not nessessary. Harrassment
Beg the Democrats are steaming. Don’t they have the transcripts of her Mueller testimony.
ALSO, DON'T LET ANYONE WITH A SUBPEONA BARGAIN TO TESTIFY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THEY DON'T HAVE A RIGHT!!!!!!
HICKS ADMITTED TO LYING FOR TRUMP, so she can't claim special privilege. SHE IS PART OF THE CRIMES THAT TRUMP HAS PUT UPON THE PEOPLE. Nadler should of immediately had her arrested until she complies with the rules of a subpoena. Tell the truth or GO TO JAIL!!!
Does congress have nothing better to do?
Her eyebrows could be used to open a bottle of beer.
Hope Hicks is part of the PROBLEM
This is what Hope Hicks, Ivanka, Betsy, Melania and the rest of the Trump crime ring look like when they actually come in contact with a Trump supporter.
Real transparency Don!
Called Presidential privilege
Good
Just as Obama’s White House lawyers sat with his people during their testimony’s.
Welcome to the world of the Trump Dictatorship.
Hope Hicks, this is not a witch hunt. Do you want history to show you as one of the liars who completely protected a crook? You know the man; you know what he’s capable of and you have an idea of what he’s done. Come clean and cleanse your conscience for the good of your country!
Good! Fuck’em. These assholes want to continue to drag this issue out and it’s only hurting them. Now, you have AOC as the scapegoat for comparing the issue at the border to concentration camps. If her statement isn’t disgusting then why isn’t anyone else on left using it. Fear.
When are Democrats going to start holding people in contempt?
Pmor1 Her excuse 'I was just following orders' is a frightening hail back to Hitlerian years.
To those saying conduct hearings before impeachment, how do you like it now? These people will never cooperate or tell the truth.
Good legal advice. Now let’s see Nadler go for contempt - he’s such a joke
She 'worked' for the president, come on.
It’s almost like they’re hiding something.
another hoax，please play adult game
Good
Was nadler trying to get his name in her 'little black date' book?
what about freedom of speech
What’s good for the Goose...Hilary never had to testify under oath. More Witch hunts. Congress: get Something, Anything done. People are sick to death of this partisanship.
So what did they talk about? The weather
HouseDemocrats if 5 more questions are blocked, start impeachment hearings
Obstruction of justice!
Great that executive privilege is used. Her prior interviews were with Mueller/Weissman group which is a part of the Executive Branch. That questioning should be enough. Dems trying for a redo bc they don’t like the Weissman findings.
This implies some important questions like: How can Congress do it's job of overseeing the activities of the President (especially if criminal activity occurred) if the WH can silence witnesses who may have important evidence?
Any lawyer worth their degree always advises their clients to STFU! Prosecutors spend a majority of their time laying perjury traps. The ill represented stumble headlong, assholes and elbows, into a premeditated murder of jurisprudence in the first degree. Prosecutors often blow!
Good. Stonewall the hell out of 'em!
Witch hunt
Way to go girl. It's called the fifth!
How did that chant go, again?
HAHA!
Shame on these people.
Thank god we have all these high paid Representatives doing the serious work of the nation. Infrastructure, economy and healthcare can wait.
Really Like we wanna hear her life from childhood to adult. If she doesn't answer questions, it would it ruin her future.
The lawyers should’ve been kicked out. They had no business obstructing justice. But of course we have a weak democratic leadership and they wouldn’t do dare things that the republicans would without thinking too much about it.
Get it in front of a court ASAP. This lawlessness must stop.
Good! That way they can’t go after her on contempt. They like to scream about laws and shit, but they want to violate them to get Trump.
if HouseDemocrats have a problem with this maybe they should remember HillaryClinton was NEVER made to testify under oath! SHE actually destroyed evidence (obstruction) deleting 33K emails, use of private server and bleach biting her laptop and hard drives!!!!! QuidProQuo?
No surprise here ! Please ! !!!!!!
Vadimir send you love
Non stop corruption go go America lol
Obstruction of justice.
So many rotten apples...
Time for impeachment
Who's paying for these lawyers? Asking for a friend...
Based on the NY Times article below, plagiarist Meredith McIver did as much for trump as Hope Hicks – maybe more. She’s “heard everything, and taken good notes,” says trump. Congress and the press need to finally hear from/lay eyes on this accomplice.
That's right.
