Politico: Trump ignored 'bright line' on discussing Russia with Hicks

Trump ignored 'bright line' on discussing Russia with Hicks

This means Hicks has a lot to tell Mueller and none of it protected by privilege. The story quotes a senior administration official: "'The president has put her in a very precarious position."

President Donald Trump’s lawyers have urged him not to discuss details of the unfolding Russia investigation with anyone outside his legal team, warning of a conversational “bright line” that could put aides and associates in legal jeopardy, according to current and former Trump aides.

But Trump often ignores that legal advice in the presence of senior aides — including his departing confidante and White House communications director, Hope Hicks.

“I think the president has put her in a very precarious position,” a senior Trump administration official said in a recent interview.

Hicks is not alone. Current and former Trump aides describe a president who often fails to observe boundaries about the Russia probe and who calls staffers into his office and raises the subject without warning.

As I read this yesterday, her family is not Trump fans.
Now they really aren't! Yikes.

Truth is, Trump is too ignorant of US law, Constitutional Law & National Security.
He is a mobster who's lived his life skirting the laws of countries.
He had no business being President of the US because he was totally ignorant & incapable of managing, governing or leading a Nation.

Through his ignorance & carelessness, he has compromised the Nation, its Nat Sec, its future & those in his working circle, his family & friends as well as the citizens of America.

Everyone that ends up in Mueller's court should tell all they know & save what they can of their life.
Because Donald Trump is not worth the dirt they spit on.
