Itās a clichĆ© to say that electricity surged through a courtroom ā but it did whenĀ Hope Hicks took the standĀ Friday morning for her testimony in the election interference trial of former President Donald Trump.
ā¦
Another devastating blow came at the very end of Hicksā direct testimony when she revealed a stunning trifecta: that, while president, Trump had admitted to her that he knew his then-fixer Michael Cohen had paid Daniels, that Trump attempted to blame Cohen and that Hicks did not believe him. She alsoĀ statedĀ that Trump felt it was better to be dealing with it after the election than beforehand. She appeared so distraughtĀ ā presumablyĀ about throwing her former boss under the busĀ āĀ that she then began crying.

that she then began crying.
Sob I never imagined when I started working for a sociopathic narcissist that he would do bad things and then only think of himself sob sob.
Let them feel the shame. Its the first time theyāve felt it since their golden idol gave them a free pass to be the gapping assholes they always wanted
They donāt feel shame. Nobody spending any amount of time working for Donald could possibly feel shame.
If theyāve been living under a rock for the last few decades five minutes of dealing with him will cure their ignorance and they will quit. Everyone who works with him that isnāt (somehow!) unaware of his fraud and corruption is a shameless sociopath. There is so much fraud and corruption.
Crocodile tears
This opinion piece is one-sided (imagine that!). She did support the defenseās argument as well. Although the defense is relying on the argument that Donald Trump covered up the paid sex because he didnāt want to upset Melania (not the election).
Of course this argument is laughable. Not only do they have witnesses and documentation (tapes!) where Trump wants it done before the election, this is a man who cheats on his newly married pregnant wife. He barely cares about her reaction at all.
Meanwhile Melanie is back in New York getting railed by the yoga instructor
Well I hope so. Sheās made a huge sacrifice for her familyās sake back home and she deserves some happiness.
Yoga donāt bring happiness, only despair
I hope Fabien is doing well too, so many wives, so little time.
Also, sometimes things are two things, you can do something to interfere with an election and also for other, secondary reasons.
Sheās crying because she realized that she was just nothing to him but yet another pawn. Itās all she ever was to him and all sheāll ever be.
So why was it so damaging? It never really said
If itās for reassuring his wife its not that bad, but if itās for the election itās bad bad.
Or so I have understood it.
My understanding is that his defense has basically been āit wasnāt hush money for the election, it was hush money to avoid traumatizing my wife!ā Basically admitting that he paid Daniels, but only because he didnāt want her to bother his current wife. He has insisted that the payment had nothing to do with the election. But her testimony blew that excuse out of the water, and puts him in a direct path for all kinds of election fraud charges. Because if heās fraudulently spending money for private matters, thatās one thing. But if heās spending money in regards to an election then all sorts of red tape lands in his lap.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Itās a clichĆ© to say that electricity surged through a courtroom ā but it did whenĀ Hope Hicks took the standĀ Friday morning for her testimony in the election interference trial of former President Donald Trump.
Even Hicks, who was the Trump campaignās press secretary for the 2016 presidential election at issue in the case, seemed to feel the significance of the moment.
As itĀ became devastatingly clear in courtĀ Friday, she is a Trump loyalist who nevertheless implicatedĀ him directly in the alleged wrongdoingĀ in anĀ utterly believableĀ way.
Hicks provided a gripping account of the impact of the infamous āAccess Hollywoodā tape on Trumpās campaign, which in turn sets up the so-called hush money payments to Stormy Daniels ā who has alleged she had an affair with the former president ā that is at the center of the charges in this case.
OnĀ early October 8, 2016,Ā The Washington PostĀ broke the newsĀ of a recording of Trump speaking with the then-host of the TV show āAccess Hollywoodā saying, āI just start kissing them [women].
A telling detail she sharedĀ Friday: The public impact was so dominant that the initial 36 hours of coverageĀ pushedĀ a categoryĀ 4 hurricaneĀ that was about to make landfall on the East Coast out of the news.
