More credible”: Legal experts say Hope Hicks’ testimony “ties everything more closely to Trump

1. I think her nervousness was from fear of reprisals from Trump or his followers.

2. Dope Dicks recognized that on the stand and broke down crying because she realized as she was testifying that she was completely shanking Trumps defense. It broke her little MAGAt spirit to “betray” her god king. She’s a pathetic human being, but was a good witness for the prosecution.

3. VonShitzHisPants!

4. She said.. Trump ran the marketing of the campaign.. i.e. he basically had a hand in everything.

   Pecker.. Trump is a micro manager.

   If your connecting dots its pointing towards trump knowing.

5. No different than Scientology cultists and any church that excommunicate those who critique them or expose their grotesque barbarism

6. The prosecutors aren’t in this trail for tv ratings or getting good reviews from talking heads, their only focus is convincing the nine people on the jury that Trump committed a crime.

7. One of the defining characteristics of Hope Hicks, both in the campaign and in her time in the White House, was that Mr. Trump wanted to have her in the room as often as possible

   Well yeah. Trump loves to be seen next to attractive women. It’s not a sign of her competence, it’s simply a sign he found her attractive and wanted eye candy in the room. Just hopefully this time that tendency backfires since she is not apparently willing to risk jail to prove loyalty.

8. Or it could be that when the defense attorney asked her about how Trump helped her career she understood that by telling the truth she was damaging the person that helped her the most. That seems human. Doesn’t change the facts about Trump. She seems to be truthful, and she has her own counsel. She also told Trump that he lost the election. It is much more impactful when the people that like Trump testify than when somebody like Cohen does.

   She was still willing to walk up to a mic and lie for him, so she is no hero.

9. So, does this mean the Trump defense is now Hope – less?

10. Let me just add, she is smoking hot.

11. it is almost as if Trump was at the center of all this bullshit or something

12. I hope the jury sees it.

    Putting this orange fucker away and deflating his paranoid freak supporters will save our country.

13. Can we all just stop and recognize for a moment how absolutely insane it is that it’s even up in the air if he’s going to be found guilty or not.

14. Well. She told the truth and that takes courage. That is a step towards redemption.

15. The AP article I just read about this is incorrectly saying he’s charged with illegally influencing the 2016 election.

    I understood that the crime is lying about the use of personal money for this as an attempt to keep his wife from finding out and that the only relevance to the campaign is that he cooked the books.

    That the prosecution is arguing that this was for the campaign not because that in itself is illegal but because he tried to claim it was salary to Cohen as a way to hide it and the act of hiding the payment was the crime.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong but if they’re fucking it up again like they did by falling into Trump’s rhetoric about collusion not being a crime when he his team worked with Russia to subvert the election which was a crime. And then again when they fucked up and took Bill Barr’s summary of the Muller report at face value.

    It’s gotta be on purpose at this point. I mean they’re not all that incompetent are they?
