CNN Panel Slams House Democrats for ‘Offensive’ Treatment of Hope Hicks

WFB:

A CNN panel criticized Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) and House Democrats on Friday for their behavior during a closed-door House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier in the week with former White House communications director Hope Hicks.

A 273-page transcript of the private hearing was released on Thursday night, revealing that committee chairman Nadler addressed Hicks by the last name of President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, three times. Nadler is likely to have called Hicks, “Ms. Lewandowski” because of a rumor she had an affair with Lewandowski, who is married with four children, during the 2016 campaign.

CNN’s John King mentioned how Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said the House’s Democratic majority would use their power to conduct investigations that were “serious, credible, and prepared.” He then read the transcript of Hicks’s lawyer calling on Nadler to ask everyone in the room to refrain from taking pictures of Hicks, adding he believed Hicks was feeling “uncomfortable.”

“Why are congresspeople taking pictures of a witness? If you’re having a serious, prepared, thorough investigation, what is that all about?” King said. “For the conversation, Nadler himself, who called off the picture-taking there, repeatedly referred to her as Ms. Lewandowski. Corey Lewandowski was the campaign manager.”

“He fought to get her testimony. He knows her name is Hope Hicks. At one point she said, ‘My name is Ms. Hicks, Mr. chairman.’ If you’re going to make the case to the American people that you’re conducting  serious, credible, investigations and you’re prepared, why be amateur and offensive?”

CNN’s White House correspondent Abby Phillip said Nadler’s comment “undermines” their case, adding the picture-taking was “clearly unprofessional.” more

  1. The committee of clowns are degrading themselves even further although that’s hardly possible. The fat degenerate leading the show is way out of his depth and it shows.
    When the main stream press calls you out you know you’re a public embarrassment.

  2. The hearing was private meaning the press wasn’t invited. Each of those democrats taking pictures knew they could sell the photos for a mint when they leaked anything salacious that came out of the meeting.

  3. So the investigation into Lisa Page should call her Ms. Strzok?

    Anyone interviewed by Nadler should refer to him as Fat Barney Frank?

    As long as we’re debasing our institutions, let’s race to the bottom.

    They give no respect, they get no respect.

  4. Nadler and the Dems were taking photographs of her to be “used” later. As “evidence”. Yeah, that’s the ticket. What a bunch of pervs. Especially that little wanker Ted Lieu.

  5. Nadler has spent a couple sleepless nights tossing and turning on a bed drenched in sweat. Next to his nightstand a wastebasket half filled with unfinished love letters to Hope Hicks. He only finds comfort and distraction from snacking heavily on treats he keeps hidden while constructing imaginary scenario’s of her responding to his lusty advances. And the sweat continues to pour…

  6. Gee, these paid DNC operatives at CNN are outraged because a token victim high on their hierarchy of relevancy, a woman, was mistreated. If Hope was a Howey or a Harold, no such outrage would take place. And no mention of the blatant violation of executive privilege and the how un-appropriate it is to ask any WH employee including the Communications Directory anything about private conversations there. Fortunately, from what I’ve read so far, she did not give them the time of day.
