I'm Sorry, But I Just Don't See Hope Hicks Getting Jail Time

[SoCalMusicLover]

Just look at her. She looks like she doesn't have a care in the world. Basically a model who majored in English, and now 7 years later, she's in charge of Communications for the White House. She's apparently dating some guy in Drumpf's inner circle at the WH.

It seems like she would not risk everything by lying to Robert Mueller, but she's still serving Drumpf, and very closely, so I can't she how she would have turned.

Unless there's nothing specifically showing that she did something to prevent the e-mails release, and can explain her comments on the conference call away. I had heard that Special Counsel already had everything by that point, so if true, that would be relevant.

1. Naive low level people like her are usually only ones who do go to jail

But since Trump and his immediate team are all so dumb, they might all be going to jail and Hicks let off the hook. Hard to say.

2. Perhaps

She may not be in jeopardy for the comment about the emails not getting out. But my god, since she is IMPotus’ favorite person surely she has heard plenty of his obstruction or other illegal deeds. Perhaps like others just being in his orbit makes them do stupid and illegal things.

3. She'll flip like a flapjack.

4. No one will get a pass. If you lied or covered up you're toast.

5. If she lied to Mueller, she's toast.

It is Prosecuting 101 that you go to the folks at the bottom of the food chain - catch them at something (very nearly anything) and then flip them.

If she lied to Mueller she can avoid jail only by delivering someone higher up the chain.

6. Her lawyer already publicly denied Carallo's account

Which means she lied to Mueller. And it's not the only thing she did. She texted messages between Trump and Jr. from Air Force One. So she participated in the obstruction. So either way she's toast.

7. In the end she'll sing like a diva to keep herself out

Mueller will see to it.

9. This really is through the looking glass territory

Is there any way to predict what these desperate criminals will do to cover their asses?

So far they’ve been willing to do anything, including reveal high level secret intelligence that has put our ALLIES at risk

They will stop at nothing to maintain power, surpassing even Nixon in their utter disregard for constitutional boundaries or any semblance of honest discourse

14. Look at the rumors about Rick Gates

Pundits are strongly speculating that his new lawyers mean that he's probably going to start cooperating with Mueller.

I never believed that Hicks would opt for indictment to protect Trump. At 28 she's got a long life ahead of her. Memes out there try to protect her by infantalizing her. But she's 28 and in the prime of her life. Big Daddy's mendacity isn't worth going up the river for.

But you're completely right about how far Trump will go. It's unbelievable how he actually thinks he can turn America into a dictatorship. But I think he's totally invested in Putin's power and the notion that it'll protect him. So yeah, some day we could be meeting on the barricades. Unfuckingbelievable.

15. Off with his head! (mueller?)

10. We don't know much yet. Let's wait and see.

12. Only if she gets immunity and sings like a canary will she avoid jail time.

13. She is the poster child for a pardon

No way Donnie lets her go to the slam.
