Hope Hicks has been hired by the news outfit at Fox as head of Public Relations!!
This is a great job...why may she have been hired?
Hicks has admitted to telling lies for Trump. One would assume this means to the FBI. She is obviously a target of the Mueller Probe.
Hick's lawyers have been paid by the Republican Party up to now. The bill was up to half-a-million dollars as of the Spring of thus year.
But are they still paying?
As noted on this blog, after Manafort flipped, everyone's political calculus changed. It seems obvious that something dire is heading Trump's way, and I suspect that the Republicans, understanding that they may be on a sinking ship, have started abandoning that ship like the rats that may of them are.
I think this means they may no longer be paying Hick's legal bills. It is easy to figure out what happened after that.
Trump needs Hicks on side, which means she has to continue to have very good legal representation by lawyers who will work with his lawyers. These people are very expensive, so one would think that she got the job because Trump asked his Fox buddies to employ her so as to provide with her enough cash to pay for her legal representation. Of course, being "Fair and Balanced" they would oblige!
Ultimately, I think Hicks' new job is very bad news for Trump as it signals that his protectors in the Republican Party are now having second thoughts.
As I have also noted here, get used to Hope Hicks. Out of everyone in Trump's White House, she will be the survivor of this debacle. You will be hearing about her for the next generation, at least.
