If Hope Hicks’ sudden resignation is any indication, the loyal-oath “captives list” — willing to take the fall for Donald Jackass Trump — just got a lot shorter.
No wonder: former member of the Trump Legal Team, who came to senses a while back, apparently had some very incriminating Obstruction-dirt on Hicks … which he was glad to share ...
Rubin: A trail for Mueller to follow

The New York Times reports that the former spokesman for the Trump legal team, Mark Corallo, plans to tell the special counsel about a conference call with Trump and White House communications director Hope Hicks in which she promised that the incriminating emails concerning the Trump Tower meeting with Russians in June 2016 would never get out. Hicks’ counsel denies the claim.
If she said this, her actions suggest a plan to destroy evidence or impede the investigation. Moreover, she may have given Trump confidence to cook up a phony explanation for the meeting.
Corallo seems to have been the only honest man in sight. According to the report, he cut short the conversation, informed the lawyers, wrote notes and told Stephen Bannon about the call. Then he quit. He seems to have done everything possible to leave investigators a trail of possible evidence.

And the very-perceptive Mark Corallo, who was not willing to be enmeshed in Trump’s web of Obstruction, was busy talking to Mueller earlier this month, about the very Obstruction details, that his co-worker Hope — vowed never to disclose …
Mueller interviews former Trump legal spokesman: report

Mark Corallo, who stepped down from the job in July, reportedly spoke with Mueller’s team for more than two hours on Thursday, and was reportedly planning on telling Mueller that White House communications director Hope Hicks might have been planning to obstruct justice.
The New York Times reported last month that Corallo planned to testify that Hicks told President Trump in a phone call that news of a 2016 meeting between Trump campaign staffers and a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower “will never get out.” The comment sparked concerns that Hicks might be considering obstructing justice.
[...]
Author Michael Wolff wrote in his book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” that Corallo quit over concerns about a misleading statement that Trump helped to write about the meeting with the Russian lawyer that included Donald Trump Jr.
“Mark Corallo was instructed not to speak to the press, indeed not to even answer the phone,” Wolff wrote. “Later that week, Corallo, seeing no good outcome — and privately confiding that he believed the meeting on Air Force One represented a likely obstruction of justice — quit.”
So how to you think Ms Hicks’ meeting with Robert Mueller went? (The meeting she absolutely refused to disclose to the Nunes Inquisition-team yesterday ...)
Do you think the 29-year old Trump-defender, was willing to go Jail for her brutish Employer, when confronted with the evidence against her, that Mueller had already compiled?
Hell-to-the-NO!
White House communications director Hope Hicks says she will resign

But her special relationship with the president has ensnared Hicks in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s wide-ranging investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and of possible obstruction of justice by the president. She has come under scrutiny for, among other things, her role aboard Air Force One last year helping Trump draft a misleading statement about son Donald Trump Jr.’s 2016 meeting with Russians.
Hicks has been interviewed by Mueller’s team, and on Tuesday testified for nine hours before the House Intelligence Committee as part of its separate Russia investigation, where she admitted to telling what one person familiar with her testimony characterized as white lies. Hicks told the committee that she sometimes stretched the truth on minor matters at Trump’s direction but that she had never lied about anything relevant to the investigation, according to this person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because her testimony was confidential.
White House officials insisted that Hicks’ decision to leave the administration was in the works for several weeks and had nothing to do with the Russia probe or her appearance on Capitol Hill this week. [...]
Here’s 10-to-1 odds, that Hope Hicks just flipped on Trump, in lieu of the serious Jail Time she herself is facing.
Here’s 20-to-1 odds, those “never-to-be-disclosed” Hicks’ emails, just torpedoed Trump’s listing ship of fools and traitors …
… as if they even needed any more incentive, to abandon the Jackass Liar in his ever-deepening of memoir of denials and delusions.
No where to run … No where to hide … No where go — but directly to special counsel’s courtroom.
