Hope Hicks departure is NOT about yesterday's hearing, per multiple sources. She had planned it before, had been thinking about it for months. She had informed a very small number of people prior to Hill hearing that she planned to leave.

I'm not sure whether the fact that this crowd are Moonies makes me feel better, because they're clearly well outside anything resembling the US mainstream, or worse, because they're a heavily armed cult of nutcases. pic.twitter.com/NWZut20PV3
