Why Omarosa’s attack on Kelly could backfire
Pollutico ^ | 08/12/2018 02:31 PM EDT | ELIANA JOHNSON

Apprentice star-turned-spurned White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman opened a new front in her war on the West Wing on Sunday, attacking chief of staff John Kelly as a bully who drummed her out of the White House unfairly.

With new prey in her talons, Manigault Newman gave voice to many of the problems that have roiled the West Wing. In a tell-all interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, she spoke in dramatic terms about the White House’s difficulties with race, honesty and loyalty, at the same time that President Donald Trump is reckoning again with criticism of his equivocal response one year ago to violence at a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

And Manigault Newman put some of the problems she described on stark display Sunday, surfacing a tape she surreptitiously recorded in the White House Situation Room.

"You have to have your own back, because otherwise you'll look back and see 17 knives in your back,” she said of her decision to record conversations in the White House.

Manigault Newman said that she taped conversations with Kelly and others to protect herself, but her accusations may backfire. She argued that she was terminated unfairly, revealing that she had taped the conversation in which Kelly dismissed her, citing “integrity violations,” back in December.

I also look at it this way. Every time one of these liberal “freeloaders” comes out with a “book” trashing the President that they can sell to the snowflakes, that’s less money the America-hating snowflakes have to spend on ‘RAT “fundraisers”.

Trump and Kelly already knew she’d be recording in the situation room.

Excellent link, as Imperator Rex has a solid track record. President Trump has been so far ahead of events from the beginning that I always suspect that such "obvious" cases are elaborate set-ups. Donald Trump is an astute judge of talent and character, and every hire has a purpose -- even the ones that look to us like failures. Time will tell as Trump keeps winning...

I totally agree. I think he and his CoS knew where those leaks were coming from —gave them (and her) enough rope to hang themselves.....
She’ll be lucky to have a future career like Stormy. She has certainly burned bridges and has poisoned the environment.....is there anyone out there stupid enough to hire her? She’s pure venom.....

Well, she proved that his assessment was 100% correct...

Peddling false claims is the only career path she has left.

Unless something changed under Obama, the last I heard is that you weren't allowed to record any conversations in any secure area. I'm sure there were exceptions made but they would be documented and all participating parties would know in advance that the conversation was being recorded.

For example, her superior could request and receive permission to record his separation conversation with her as a defense against bogus charges of all sorts. Were that the case, though, there probably would have been a third party present at the time as well.

Too big of a heart IMHO...he knew she was a snake from her resume....

In the 1990s, Omarosa worked in the office of Vice President Al Gore during the Clinton administration. She later stated the job had been “a very difficult environment, because they don't believe in training. They just kind of throw you in the fire.”[15] Gore's former office administrator, Mary Margaret Overbey, has said Omarosa “was the worst hire we ever made”.[16] She was later transferred to the Commerce Department via the White House personnel office.[15] Cheryl Shavers, who then served as the department's under secretary for technology administration, has said that at the time, Omarosa was “unqualified and disruptive,” adding, “I had her removed.”[16]

Omarosa is about one of the nastiest, most vicious poor excuses for a human being one could ever meet, with a very long history of betrayals, stabbing people in the back and incompetence.

Trump did not do due diligence before hiring her, and let the kindness of his heart take over.
