MUELLER WILL TEST HOPE HICKS'S LOYALTY TO DONALD TRUMP

One of President Donald Trump's most loyal insiders is the next target in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's sights.

Hope Hicks, who worked for Trump's campaign before becoming White House communications director, will be grilled by Mueller's team as early as next week, a source told Newsweek — and the questions will center on possibly fabricated statements she helped produce about the campaign's contacts with Russian operatives during the 2016 election.

At issue is a statement provided to the media just days after the election, when Hicks flatly denied any campaign member conducted meetings with Russian representatives.

Hicks will also fall under the bus and Trump will deny knowing or meeting her.

..... was push the little red button in the Oval Office while sitting in his lap when King Orange wanted the butler to bring him a Diet Coke or two scoops of ice cream.

Other than that Hope Hicks' only job was to strut/sashay around in King Orange's presence and look delicious and pretty for the dirty old pervert so he could get his hourly woody and then fondle himself.

She will probably cry "Boo hoo", which she does all the time anyway, but these will be real tears. So sad!

A full-on press on Trump as to his physical relationship with Hope Hicks, a la Monica Lewinsky.

"I did not have sex with that woman".

I imagine her in a room by herself waiting for her interviewer to arrive and in walks Mueller.

Just that fact alone being brought back to the White House might have the back of Trump's hands break out in a sweat. I think it was Lawrence O'D who asserted that Mueller never conducts the interviews. So it would be delicious if he interviewed Hicks.
