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

Posted on 08/12/2018 1:03:09 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Arrest and prosecute or make a deal for her to crawl back under the rock she crawled out of and if she EVER breaks the confidentiality, she ends up in jail.

Even the brain-dead biased press can see through that woman...Chuck Todd was encouraging her but not totally falling for her BS... That’s telling ‘cause he’s all in for democrats and anyone who hates Trump.

White House’s difficulties with race, honesty and loyalty,

Notice that no celebrities or other leftists like Eric Holder is tweeting in support of her. This Politico article was specifically published to cut the Left's losses on her.

She'll do an obligatory interview on The View or on a black radio show and then she'll be history. Her book is going to flop and her career ambitions thoroughly destroyed.

I listened to the exchange she recorded. Kelly was highly professional in his comments to her before leaving her to be informed by the attorneys of both her wrong doing as well as how this has put her in jeopardy.

The only there there is Omarosa's attempt at snippy, unprofessional, drama queen diversion which was quickly and professionally shut down by Kelly as he carried out his task at hand. Also the fact that she recorded the conversation in a secure environment is a serious issue and I hope that if this is illegal that she prosecuted fully for her actions.

She is burning both her bridges.
Neither left or right will want her except as a tool for destruction. Who would need to decide whether to prosecute Omarosa for those secret tapes? If it’s Sessions, then she already knew that she would be safe from meaningful prosecution.

When the president made that ‘Lowlife’ remark, that was when I began to think that this is a real situation, not some elaborate theater, choreographed by both Trump & Omarosa.
Of course, Mr. Trump has been quite critical of Jeff Sessions, and Jeff is still there, still twiddling his thumbs and looking ‘concerned’. So the Jury is still out.

She'll do an obligatory interview on The View or on a black radio show and then she'll be history. Her book is going to flop and her career ambitions thoroughly destroyed.

Then in a few months she'll recant everything, say her remarks were the result of a bad reaction to prescription medication, and beg for her old job back.

Then when PDJT gives her the cold shoulder, she'll say that he's being "petty," and "vindictive."

"...Kelly dismissed her, citing “integrity violations,...”"

Case in point.

The article was quite long, and I never got to the part where Omarosa’s tactics might ‘backfire’ on her. It’s in there somewhere.
