Yeah but Omarosa sure didn't mind the racism and thuggery as long as she was still on the gravy train. She's nothing but an opportunist and a not-so-shrewd one, at that. No sympathy here.

The implication that Trump and his thugs are this mischievous is pretty intense.

V cool. Can I get a link to read please? 
Thanks.
Trump tweeted about it not being legal... oops those are the tapes his fixer lawyer made. My mistake.
Kelly was head of DHS before becoming Chief of the Changing Staff, and is an anti-immigration, whatever that gang is MS-13? freak. You can thank him for that Trump screed. (Or maybe Trump came across it in his resear...no, it was Kelly).
Just because working closely with Trump makes you frustrated and regretful of life in general, it doesn't make you a stand-up citizen. It mostly means you probably sane.
Remember that weird cabinet meeting where everyone had to praise Trump (I've linked it multiple times, but I can do it again)? So Stepford something.
Tapes will bring this administration down. And Mueller.

Oh I believe you. Just being lazy.
For you and I should be a better mod
Unceremoniously canning people with a big pulpit (or a date to testify) is a bad idea. :D

From Michelle Goldberg's column in today's New York Times:
Omarosa Manigault Newman, the reality show villain who campaigned for Donald Trump and followed him into the White House, is an amoral, dishonest, mercenary grifter. This makes her just like most people in Trump’s orbit. What separates her from them is that she might be capable of a sliver of shame.
Naturally, Manigault Newman’s new book, “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House,” is self-serving, a way to avenge her 2017 firing and make money telling us what we already know about this wretched administration. Nevertheless, she had other options for cashing in. She has revealed that she was offered a $15,000-a-month position on the Trump re-election campaign in exchange for keeping her mouth shut. She could have had a career in right-wing media; an African-American celebrity willing to say that the Republican Party isn’t racist will always find patrons. Instead, she chose to speak out against the man who made her a star, and repent for her complicity in electing him. She may be a manipulative narcissist, but she’s behaving more honorably than any other former Trump appointee.
That’s not a high bar, and I wouldn’t take most of the claims of “Unhinged” at face value. But we don’t have to, because Manigault Newman has receipts. When I got a prepublication copy of the book on Friday, I wasn’t sure what to think of the scene in which Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, fires her, making thuggish threats to destroy her reputation if she doesn’t go quietly. On Sunday, “Meet the Press” played her recording of the exchange, which unfolds exactly as she described.

$15 grand a month is a lot of money, I wonder if she is making more with the book or just was tired of seeing her name dragged through the mud.

You have to wonder. If someone as mercenary as Omarosa couldn't take it anymore, things had to be bad.

I bet Melania is doing it for less than 15K a month.

I think Melania is biding her time until he's out of office and she can divorce his sorry ass.

I'm betting the payout is a lot higher and the threats are a lot nastier for Melania.
