I understand Hope Hicks' family has money, but they're not stupid rich. And she doesn't work in a

federal fortress and isn't protected by a 24-7 security detail to keep her from being arrested on Contempt of Congress or Contempt of Court charges.

Given this, I wonder whether she'll follow Trump's order to not turn over the documents - and if she does, how long she'll hold out.

She doesn't strike me as the type who would handle being broke and/or in jail very well.

This will be interesting.

Maybe. But if she stays the course, she'll be a broke, incarcerated blind follower. StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #2
She willingly wanted to come back and work for Trump, and to me that speaks volumes still_one Jun 2019 #7
Looks like your assessment might be right, and my assumption is wrong Starfish still_one Jun 2019 #14

justification, but I found it to be very entertaining despite its sexism.

The video has been called both over the years.

Also, it came out in 1985 (and was everywhere, including a Pepsi commercial). Despite it being the Reagan years, if you were coming of age during that time, there were plenty of cool things to look fondy back at. I was 20 in 1985, and my "coming of age" age spanned from 1979-1989. MTV, Live Aid, R.E.M. and Talking Heads, Late Night w/ Letterman, etc.

When I see this video now, I think of everything from that era, at least pop-culturally (and do my best to forget how Govt and Politics sucked bad then).

Groupy,especially a Trump Groupy who has been used and tossed aside by the same Group.

Her Career Choices do to associations have and are limited. No one wants a tainted by association new hire. The negative PR just in not worth the grief.
