Hope Hicks testimony will be available in 48 hrs in transcript form so the informed voters can read for themselves the many times trump’s lawyers claimed “Absolute Immunity” and refused to let that sweet thing testify. From the day that fat lying bastard took office till the day she jumped ship, now she’s on her way to court. She must be doing well to afford all those attorneys fees.
The Fake news president claims absolute immunity for his crimes..Pathetic

Absolute immunity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search Absolute immunity is a form of legal immunity for
government officials that confers total immunity from
criminal prosecution and
lawsuits so long as they are acting within the scope of their duties.
[1] Absolute immunity contrasts with
qualified immunity, which only applies if specified conditions are met.
In
common law jurisdictions, absolute civil immunity applies in the following circumstances:
- lawmakers engaged in the legislative process;[2]
- judges acting in their judicial capacity;[3]
- government prosecutors while making charging decisions (although prosecutors are only entitled to qualified immunity if they are acting outside of their function as a prosecutor);[4]
- witnesses while testifying in court (although the witness may be prosecuted for perjury if the testimony is deliberately false);[5]
- lawyers in certain circumstances related to fraud[6]
Hicks did not answer any questions related to her time in the White House on advice of her DOJ appointed lawyer. So no perjury applies. Executive privilege should be enough to cover Hicks. That Trump is applying Absolute Immunity does not
by default confirm a crime. He could have claimed executive privilege on all witnesses Mueller wanted to interview. McGahn probably could have claimed attorney-client privilege on his own. But none of that happened. Trump allowed them all to speak with Mueller. He's taking a hard tack because the Democrats can't accept the fact that Mueller DECLINED TO INDICT. this so-called road map is nothing more than the "best" an establishment (Republican) bum known for corrupt legal tactics could do after two years .. with the cooperation of the White House.
