"A scandal that involves all the intrigue of Watergate, but everyone involved is really bad at everything."

2. She was the email launderer. People sent emails to her for Trump so he could say he never read them

People sent Hicks emails and she showed them to Trump.
At least that is the story I have been reading.

I guess they thought they were so smart.

4. Or, Trump was bcc'd on the e-mails

It's very easy to put someone else in the blind courtesy copy (bcc) field, and unless the bcc recipient is stupid enough to disclose, nobody but the sender knows about the bcc recipient.

Enter Donald Trump.

Trump is too stupid to not hit reply all or forward to somebody. He's really really stupid.

7. Or Trump was laying in bed with Hicks and read it off her laptop.

I know. I know. A naked, sweaty, post-coitus Trump is not a pleasant mental image, but it's very plausible.

10. I was wondering what time of day or night his tweet was made.

I thought I read that he's very particular about the circumstances in which he has sex with someone who is in his life, like, lights out before, during, after. Maybe it was gossip from Marla Maples or someone else he was screwing. Anyway, I wonder where hicks was that she showed him the email and then he tweeted about it so quickly.

11. I don't think he "does" email

So no worries that he would reply or forward. Does he have an email addy?

He tweets, that's about all the technology he understands. Plus, people around him probably want to keep him away from email, to much of a trail. Probably hopehic read them to him.
