The many legal exposures of Hope Hicks spell double trouble for Trump

Hicks's newfound freedom, whether it's born of her own volition or otherwise, frees her up to focus solely on her own legal interests at the very same time that Mueller appears to be tightening his focus. During a round table panel Wednesday on MSNBC's Deadline, host Nicolle Wallace, New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, and NBC reporter Katy Tur all said they had been in touch with people who were interviewed by Mueller's team and they were each awed by how much his investigators knew and how focused their questioning was. Here's Tur:

"I talked to another witness in the Mueller investigation who sat for a pretty long interview. And they told me that the atmospherics are remarkable. They know everything. They aren't fishing. These investigators can tell you what room you were in, who you were sitting next to in that room, and what exactly you said while you were there. [...] They have it all and now they're trying to get the nail in the coffin."

And here's what Peters observed about people questioned by Mueller's team:

"One of the things they have come back and said to me, to a person, is the seriousness with which they are conducting themselves, the types of questions they are asking, the specifics, the details they are trying to nail down, reinforces why Donald Trump's lawyers cannot allow him to sit down with Mueller's team..."

It's a critical moment for Trump's White House, which is literally collapsing around him. With Hicks's exit, Trump not only loses one of his go-to slaves, he also potentially loses whatever legal insulation she could have provided. And after her little white lies admission, there's nothing to stop Mueller from bringing her back in for more questioning.
