New York times is reporting this. I guess there really is no Hope. Maybe she wanted to spend more time with her boyfriend, Porter. Geez, who’s getting voted off the island next?

ABC is reporting the same thing. I wonder what that's all about. "Other opportunities?" My ass. She's probably afraid all those "white lies" she's admitted telling for Trump will get her thrown in jail if she keeps it up. Pretty soon Trump will have no one but his family working in the place.
I heard she admits to telling white lies. In other words, she got caught lying like so many others in this administration. These are some lying people, man I tell you.
The White House is a toxic environment. For most younger people a stint in the White House would be a real resume builder, but that may not be the case from this administration, could be a big negative.
Hicks has been the quiet little shadow that follows Trump around wherever he goes for a long time now. She was his personal assistant during the campaign, but she was hired long before the campaign ever began.
She was his official 'steamer', who steamed the creases out of his suits while he was still wearing them while on the plane as he flew from one stop to another. Her present job was another Trump insider promotion. Of all of those who were close to Trump in 2015-2016, there was no one closer than Hope Hicks.
So naturally, Hicks knows some stuff. She has always been the most circumspect of all of his bunch, and has always avoided the press or any kind of notice. So she probably knows a lot of stuff. She's probably profited by some of that knowledge.
She can use executive privilege when called up to testify to a Congressional committee, but not to a Grand Jury. With some discovery, it's quite possible she can't be prevented from testifying to a committee either by using executive privilege.
Watergate showed the limits of executive privilege. As a stone wall, it can only hold for so long. When it breaks, using it tends to take down many others who used it earlier once the wall cracks.
So Hicks may decide on her own to quit, or Trump may decide she has to go for his own protection.
Either is equal as I see it. Mueller will go light on those who cooperate, and will go heavy on those who don't.
