CNN — A text exchange between Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff Julie Radford and White House aide Hope Hicks reveals their anger over then-President Donald Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, hurting them professionally, according to newly released documents collected by the House select committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection.

“In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter,” Hicks wrote to Radford on January 6, 2021. “And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. I’m so mad and upset. We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

Hicks added: “This made us all unemployable. Like untouchable. God I’m so f***ing mad.” Radford responded by texting, “I know, like there isn’t a chance of finding a job,” and indicating she already lost a job opportunity from Visa, which sent her a “blow off email.”

The new release is part of a steady stream of documents from the committee, complementing the release of its sweeping 845-page report. The latest comes as the panel winds down its work with the House majority set to change hands from Democrats to Republicans on Tuesday at the start of the new Congress.

1. Eff around

and find out. Well deserved unemployment if there is a God.

[leftieNanner]

2. Actually, ladies

The fact that you stuck there in that White House for four years made you entirely unemployable.

You saw what a worthless creature he was every single day.

Too bad. So sad.

[sybylla]

79. I came here to say this.

Thanks for going there before me.

[Demobrat]

3. Boo freaking hoo.

If he had succeeded they would have been beyond thrilled to be part of his inner circle.
Tough luck, losers.

[TheRealNorth]

5. +1. Maybe you should have resigned when the traitor was plotting 1/6....

Instead of waiting around to see if it failed or not.

[Justice matters.]

25. Or right after the POS sexual predator bragged on the Access Hollywood tapes?

Oh, both of them have no decency at all. Mkay. (not!)

[SouthernDem4ever]

60. I think the first impeachment would have been the last straw

but again, if he had won the election they would be right there with the traitor. I have no empathy for them.

[calimary]

50. You can say THAT again!

That’s the first reaction I had, too.

Boo-fucking-hoo. Cry me a river.

[Irish_Dem]

4. No concern for lives lost, crimes of treason, damage to our democracy.

People who would go to prison.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Republicans, it's all about them! Their values are all screwed up. /nt

[agingdem]

41. those sad unemployables were ok with...

separating families, babies in cages, the muslim ban, the wall, shit hole countries, ignoring a global pandemic, sidelining doctors/scientists/epidemiologists in favor of quacks and shamans, manipulating CDC guidelines, positing ingesting bleach as a covid cure-all, disappearing 300,000 covid deaths, out loud hate for "the other", insulting Gold Star families, romancing despots, insulting our allies, dissing NATO, nepotism on a grand scale, mocking the disabled, weaponizing government agencies to punish perceived enemies, appointing incompetent grifting "acting" cabinet secretaries, packing the courts with unqualified radical judges, withdrawing the United States from global treaties/pacts, colluding with Russia, extorting Ukraine's Zelensky, positing shooting BLM protestors/launching missiles into Mexico, Nazi rallies...

May they carry the Trump stench the rest of their miserable inhumane lives...

[yardwork]

48. Great rant! And every word is true. Sing it.

[Joinfortmill]

55. Amen to that.

[dem4decades]

7. Not to worry, the Republican Party is totally the new Proud Boys. Plenty of jobs.

[ananda]

8. No, you ARE domestic terrorists.

No look like about it.

[Grins]

22. The "useful idiots" that abetted his treasons.

They are not stupid people! But they saw it happening and remained silent accomplices.

Their only excuse will be from their throughly Reich-wing washed brain: “But the other side IS WORSE!”

[sdfernando]

9. I'm finding it extremely difficult to muster up any ounce of sympathy for these cretins

Its not like they couldn't see the writing on the wall for the last 4 years!

[liberalla]

10. Ha! This will provide me with hours, er days, um weeks... maybe months? of enjoyment !!

This is an unexpected bonus from the select committee report.

Thank you!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

11. Not only can't Radford get a job with Visa . . .

. . . they closed her existing account and won't issue her a new card.

[NJCher]

80. that makes my day

because at least one company recognizes that you don't need a credit report to figure out someone is a crook.

Credit is important. Try doing anything without it.

[sakabatou]

12. Oh no!

Anyway...

[keithbvadu2]

13. Golly gee, a single tear rolls down my cheek - Waterworld

[Dopers_Greed]

They should be in prison, where they won't have to worry about finding employment.

[central scrutinizer]

53. Making license plates

Is honorable wotk

[Upthevibe]

15. Kick. N/T

[RKP5637]

16. Well, people often judge others by the company they keep. Trump was surrounded by red flags, it was

always seen by many what he was about and made of.

[Walleye]

17. Guilty. Abetting, providing aid and comfort and trouser steaming

[irisblue]

18. Suffer

[keithbvadu2]

President Trump: 'Romney's in isolation? Gee, that's too bad'

[Blue Owl]

20. That's a shame

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Well, theyvare domestoc terrorists. Every one of them had a...

chance when it all started, but they chose wrong.

[blueknight73]

23. There is always

A price to pay for being stupid

[rubbersole]

24. Maybe they can get a job on Bill O'Reilly's tv show.

Oh, wait...

[Danascot]

36. or in Mike Pence' administration.

[BradAllison]

26. Nah

There are plenty of "news outlets" that find these people acceptable.

[NCjack]

27. You can get jobs with Trump's hotel company -- opps, NYAG James is putting it

out-of-business. Try Jared's $2B investment fund, sponsored by the Saudis; maybe Jack Smith will let it live.

[SWBTATTReg]

28. And the traitors in the GOP house are up to their tricks in trying to recall all of the released 1/6

documents, as though doing this will stifle the traitorous actions by these thugs. I'm so pissed off.

[olegramps]

29. Businesses that employ these traitor enablers should be boycotted. They supported him along.

I really wonder if our nation will ever fully recover. There is extensive damage that will continue do to so many blind Republican supporters.

[olegramps]

30. Businesses that employ these traitor enablers should be boycotted. They supported him along.

I really wonder if our nation will ever fully recover. There is extensive damage that will continue do to so many blind Republican supporters. Their concern is not for the welfare of the nation, but for their pockets. I will not shed one tear for these scum bags if they end up on the street penny less and destitute.

[HardPort]

31. So, as the country was actively under attack, they were only selfishly worried about themselves.

Why am I not surprised ?

[twodogsbarking]

32. What address can I send my nickel to?

[niyad]

64. Wow. a nickel AND a stamp?? You are truly generous!

[NullTuples]

33. "We all look like domestic terrorists now" - Oh, sweet summer child. You already were.

[WestMichRad]

34. Schadenfreude

Pleasure derived from seeing the misfortune of others.

Color me guilty!

[thucythucy]

35. An old cliche: lie dog with dogs...

and you rise up with fleas.

Except I'm afraid the comparison is insulting to dogs and fleas.

[Uncle Joe]

37. I would wait a few years before making any final judgement.

I recall how the corporate media after a "grace period" focused more on rehabilitating Nixon's image.

One way or another the corporate media wants at the very least a viable but more than likely a dominating corporate political party.

Thanks for the thread BumRushDaShow

[Paladin]

38. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (nt)

[orangecrush]

39. Tell it to the Marines

[ProudMNDemocrat]

49. A veritible basket of unemployables! LOL n/t

[90-percent]

51. did no white house staffer serving tfg

ever see the movie "judgment at Nuremberg" in their entire poorly educated lives?

Cassidy Hutchinson, on the other hand, will be in high demand with any companies that have even an ounce of basic human decency.

-90% jimmy

[Rebl2]

52. They knew

what kind of person he was and could have left long before the end of his administration. I DO NOT feel sorry for them.

[Joinfortmill]

54. Better than prison.

[myohmy2]

56. "We all look like domestic terrorists now."

...that's right...

...you could try applying in NK or Russia...

[Novara]

57. Oh how I love schadenfreude

It's delicious.

[hamsterjill]

58. Never mind that people might be killed.

WE are worried about our future livelihood.

Completely a Republican expected response. Disgusting.

[hippywife]

59. They made themselves unemployable...

the very first moment they began supporting and continued enabling him. Lots of blame to go around, but they need to look in the mirror first and foremost.

[SKKY]

61. Womp! Womp!

Sorry, but I have none to give. Not one.

[J_William_Ryan]

62. They should have considered this before working in the Trump WH.

What did they think was going to happen, having gone to work for the likes of Trump.

They have only themselves to blame.

[whopis01]

78. Exactly! n/t

[Wonder Why]

68. Bet they believed that unemployment insurance was a waste of

government money. They should be denied it.

[tonekat]

69. "We all look like domestic terrorists now."

If the Jackboot fits, wear it!!

[LudwigPastorius]

Don't give up..... Keep the dream alive.

You freakin' bastards!

[Old Crank]

76. I don't feel sorry

There might be a place at Hooters for her.
or McDonalds

[IbogaProject]

77. Nope taking the job risked their futures

It was obvious he was a sloppy, idiotic, spoiled, nasty, con man, sexual assulter, with many bankruptcies over his 'career'. So they risked their futures taking those shitty jobs.

[Hekate]
