If her last tape of Cohen was any indication...? kentuck Aug 2018 #15
If a tape is part of the evidence shared w Mueller, she's not releasing it without approval. n/t FreepFryer Aug 2018 #17

Just shining on more pertinent things right now. When Aretha and McCain are laid to rest, and the heat wave in the Northeast breaks, and when Trump gets tired of bashing Google and moves onto new bullshit, she'll drop another recording or two. She's a lot more strategic in her attention-grubbing than is her ex-boss. She goes for maximum impact, and she isn't going to get that right now.

They were trying to drown her out with their own noise. McCain passing was going to be a significant news factor. She looks decent not releasing anything now.
When it’s calmer, we will hear a new one. She is not an amateur at this. Trump has met his match so fa4.

She clearly is smart and patient.

Not fan, but I really don’t care who helps bring the Traitor down.

The slow drip, drip, drip is likely driving Spanky crazy wondering what she'll drop next.

and then she responds with a recording proving they're lying.

I think Trump folks realized they have to stop attacking her so she'll get off the airwaves.

Omarosa released another recording...

Who else would want to upstage media praise of a black american icon with talk about a white president?

Probably not Omarosa...

Looking at some other rulings in regards to Red Don's arbitration agreements I don't think the tapes will be held up long though


Omarosa Manigault Newman claims President Donald Trump is trying to silence her after his campaign filed an arbitration, claiming she violated a non-disclosure agreement.

Manigault Newman, who has made a variety of salacious claims about the president in her new book, "Unhinged," suggested the president was afraid of what she knew and would speak publicly about.

Yet, with McCain being honored this week, that could have been it too.
Maybe both reasons.

..she recorded people she worked with, during a normal day's events. She did not record them with any intent to show people in any negative light, in my opinion. Therefore, there is not a lot of fodder in the recordings, in my opinion.
