It's really hard for me to grasp why ANYONE who was in the inner circle and privy to lots of intel and private personal discussions would then become a willing participant in these cover-ups by denying the truth. Why didnt she leave? Fame, money, power? Crocodile tears. She had a choice to do the right thing by leaving or speaking out. She did nothing.

[lorenzomarquez]

Oh, please look at all. These people acting like they were ignorant, and had no idea the type of nasty man that they were dealing with and serving all this time.

To me, a German, who usually stays out of US-politics, your broadcasts give me hope, much hope that the US will recover from this illness, not to say evil, otherwise known as #45.

[gailedwards]

Dont feel sorry for her. She was SUBPOENAED …. She knew and covered up plenty for him. Shes GUILTY also

[guyrose]

That event is no longer a "pivotal campaign moment". It is a pivotal American History moment, when a sizable portion of Americans decided that a minimum of decency is not required to run your country. It is the moment that shame died.

I have no sympathy for this woman. Trumps reputation and conduct has been deplorable all his life.
Hope Hicks needs to own it.

[annpringle]

Don't make excuses for the Trumpsters.
She understood what was going on! She also knew Trump was a liar. She was his assistant he was involved.

[KarenPFolk-qqdx]

He should have lost every single female voter.

[uNails]

She can be thankful that she's not appearing as a defendant.

[Jasoos_Jasonda]

Let her break down, let them all break down, who cares?

[billsmith]

And The CULT STILL worships him ! INSANE !!!!

[marvinsmith]

Tears. She knows he’s guilty and it hurts her. The jury will read that.

[BobM.-toji]

No one cares that she cried. A true patriot wouldn't need to be subpoenaed, they would have come forward voluntarily.

[Galantus]

Please remember Hope wasnt there by her own will, she was subpoenaed and has been through all this since jan 6 hearing aso don't give her ANY respect She would NEVER tell on her boss willingly no matter how despicable he is

[territ]

Everyone around him is going to jail, testifying against him, bad talking him why not him!!!! He's such a dark cartoon

[philippinepalestra]

I'm no lawyer but these concepts float in my mind while thinking about Hope Hicks: co-conspirator, crime of omission, accessory to the crime, accomplice . . .

[NIGHTSTAR-drzq]

TRUMP IS LIKE A TWILIGHT ZONE EPISODE THAT NEVER ENDS

[ryohxnu]

Hicks is remorseful now because she feels the heat of possible prosecution, if any at all.

[frankiebowie]

You know who didn’t cry? Cassidy Hutchinson.

[stella-gxne]

If I hear one more time about this woman”s heroic testimony I’m done . A hero does not wait to save their country. Hope HIcks is a traitor
