White House current and former staffers are living in abiding fear over what might be revealed next as former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman continues her book tour and releases clips of her secretly recorded conversations with President Trump and other staffers.
“People are terrified,” a former Trump aide told Politico. “Absolutely terrified.”
So far, the ousted aide has released audio of Chief of Staff John Kelly firing her in the Situation Room; a recording of a phone call she had with Trump where he claimed he didn’t know about her firing; audio of a conversation between two campaign staffers discussing the existence of a tape in which Trump uses the N-word.
Some former senior staffers told Politico that they weren’t too concerned about Manigault Newman’s drip-drip publicity stunt because she wasn’t involved in higher level meetings.
“But if I was on the communications staff, where she was interacting more with people,” a former senior administration official told Politico, “I can see how people might be nervous.”
As Manigault Newman continues her public anti-Trump tirade, the President has shot back, repeatedly attacking her on Twitter, calling her a “low life” and a “dog.”
The sht show continues. What a stain on the presidency and the country.
Good.
It’s about time these people start fearing the news thread as much as the rest of us. Hoping it gets much worse for them very, very soon.
Here’s the real power Omarosa holds right now:
Trump’s people must be very careful when they challenge anything Omarosa says (and most things in her book), because she MAY just have it backed up by audio recording.
If they cry “liar” and she hits “Play” to back it up,…they’re fucked.
Man, what am I supposed to look at in this photo? You guessed it!! That Selle San Marco bike saddle in the foreground.
Omarosa has a good sense for what type of information is for gossip consumption and what is relevant for the case to remove Donald Trump from office. She clearly has an eye and an ear for information that would be useful for the Special Counsel.
She mentioned that Trump absolutely knew that Russia and Wikileaks had emails on HRC before it was public knowledge. If she as any audio recording to substantiate that assertion, I think it could be the beginning of the ‘game over’ phase for Trump.
Based on recent polling Mueller has convinced most of the country that a candidate who knew, sought and used foreign help in a campaign has committed a crime. Omarosa is dangling that she has evidence of exactly that.
