House Intel Dem Mike Quigley told us that Hicks is not answering questions about her time in WH and transition She has not explicitly asserted exec priv but is following WH playbook not to answer questions, he said. She has NOT been hit with a subpoena but she should be, he said

does not answering questions per direction from the WH = obstruction

Gee, I wonder why the “no collusion“ White House would want to prevent Hicks & Bannon from answering any questions?

Three words: Contempt of Congress. Both legally and in spirit. WTF is she doing there if not to discuss those topics? Like anyone cares about the Hope Hicks creation story.
-
She should not have to answer questions about the transition or her time in the Whitehouse...this is supposed to be about the election...those times were after the election and therefore should be excluded. Hope Hicks
-
If the Congress believes activities or conversations held after the election are relevant she absolutely does. As a citizen, and 1000 times more so as a WH official. Can't claim full cooperation and transparency and nothing to hide OTOH and not answer questions OTO.
-
One more thing on this, HH may assert a valid privilege. These include the Executive and 5th Amend privileges. Acc'd to reports, she asserted neither. The "I'm not testifying 'cause I don't want to" approach is, contemptuous, in spirit, if not in law. The Rule of Law matters.

If
@realDonaldTrump really wants to prove this is a#WitchHunt, he should let his team speak. If he’s right, the truth would soon put an end to this. 1/ -
That
#TeamTrump are not answering questions leaves only one conclusion - they’re hiding something. Otherwise, why stay silent? And if they’re hiding something, it’s not a#WitchHunt.#TrumpRussia 2/ -
So, Donnie, which is it? And if it’s a
#WitchHunt, stop behaving like you’ve committed a crime.#ConsciousnessOfGuilt 3.

Manu, can you ask these jokers in the GOP if they are going to start the contempt process on Bannon, and possibly Hicks?

Seems to me that if Dems take over any part of Congress next year a lot of White Hoise staff will be getting subpoenaed, citing executive privilege where it doesn’t apply and getting themselves hit with contempt of Congress charges.
