(22,037 posts)Although I'm not a lawyer, I've reviewed thousands of contracts as they relate to music copyrights. In most such agreements, there are definitions of terms. For example, the Lyricist (Person "X" , the Composer (Person "Y" and the Song (the "Composition" . This allows the entity issuing the contract the ability to have consistency in their agreements.
However, this was a press release from a book publisher.
In fact, it's a bit of an issue for me to read articles and commentaries that were clearly not carefully proofread. There are misspelled words, wrong words, grammatical mistakes and more. I guess we live in the disposable times.

(4,079 posts)Thanks for clarifying.
And I agree that the misspellings and bad punctuation are painful, but not nearly as painful as this administration as a whole.

(4,787 posts)..to be short for 'Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House'. That's standard practice.
"Your letter recounts at great length the details of a non-disclosure agreement between former White House Senior Staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman's and the Trump Campaign - the "NDA" - and threatens that publication of Ms. Manigault-Newman's book, Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House - the "Book" - will be subject S&S to 'substantial monetary damages and punitive damages' for various legal claims arising from the Book and the NDA," the Simon and Schuster letter said.
That's the fault of the reporter's miscopy of their statement.

Book was definitely meant to be capitalized, I believe they are trolling trump and lawyers for addressing as such.

(11,841 posts)Personally, I would doubt much of whats in the book simply because Omarosa is just a female version of Trump. A scammer. Thats why he employed her all these years. She sucked on the Apprentice, but he loved that she didnt give a shit what anyone thought, because thats how HE is.

(5,464 posts)They could legally seek to review A LOT of DOTARDS DOCUMENTS.
better
(884 posts)is that they are referring to the discovery process, and the damaging revelations to which that might expose Trump, et al.

(7,725 posts)they could donate a copy to every library in the nation, to get the information ball rolling. or better yet give it as free audiobook on youtube, like the last tell-all. Buy and donate Malcolm Nances book as well. Book ends for the end of American ivans.
Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)"The Plot to Destroy Democracy" and I gotta tell ya, I keep feeling like somebody put ice-cubes in my knickers.
He starts right out at the beginning scaring the bejeesus out of you, so that you can't put it down. And I can tell you, some of this stuff is making my blood boil. He connects a LOT OF DOTS and I now understand why Comey felt compelled to go ahead and release the news about HRC's e-mails, but damn it all the signs were there.
And don't forget that President Obama wanted to release the information about Russian interference but was over-ruled by . . . Bitch McConnell, who said it was too partisan and that the republicans would use that as a whipping post . . . like it matters now.
One last thing in the form of an FYI -- I have to stop reading Nance's book at least an hour before bedtime, or I'm too angry to close my eyes and sleep.

(12,022 posts)I couldnt resist. Am 1/3 through it and Omarosa tells a compelling story. I didnt know she was a Democrat and a Hillary supporter. She even worked for Hillarys campaign until she had a falling out after being snubbed by the campaign.

(37,748 posts)His is the only book I've read about the Drumpf administration, and I'm dipping my toe in the pool to see if hers is actually worth a read.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)But it's possible that this parting did not rise to the level of a falling out, but that she was not offered a position as the organization was professionalized.
I looked for her under all her names in HRC, Parnes' and Allen's 2014 biography of her pre-2016 election period. This book is unfortunately rather tediously focused on small details of staff interactions, with many people named, but I didn't find her in Hillary-world.
Newman had joined Ready for Hillary, according to HRC a new grassroots super PAC (no really big donations wanted) started before Hillary decided to run by two ambitious people from Hillary's 2008 campaign; they knew she'd be behind the curve if she decided to run. They'd previously started Vote Both with the hope that Hillary and Obama would decide to run together, either one at the top of the ticket.
Interestingly for how these things work these days, other groups were also forming and individuals already becoming active to position themselves to become close to or in the center of power if she decided to run. "...there were many entry points into Hillaryworld."
When Hillary got serious, some of her friends checked with her for approval and started joining Ready for America "as a way of protecting Hillary's brand" by staffing the organization with reliable people, and one of Hillary's former people took over as its head and relabeled and began professionalizing the organization as "Hillary for America."
Then, when it was time to roll it over into the Hillary for America campaign, they just completely discarded all of the people who had done work, she explained. [It] soured a lot of people. So it wasnt hard when he called me and said can you be on board? because I had just been used and abused by the Ready for Hillary organization. I could go down the list of people who were abused and misused by that organization and decided to go a different direction as a result of it, she continued.

I seriously doubt Newman made the cut during the vetting and transition period and even more strongly doubt that she was ever asked join the new organization (personally by its head!) and turned it down. But in any case, Newman did not play a significant enough role to be mentioned in the book of 1000 names and for sure never got near Hillary.
Mc Mike
(9,114 posts)have them give short essays about tRump Russia to a new book of essays from S & S.
He classifies and declassifies things on a whim, hands out security clearances to compromised dinges at the drop of a hat.
Let him threaten legal action, then tell him 'declassify all that intel, about how mean and crooked all our intel and justice people have been to you. All that intel about your collusion, conspiracy, treason, and obstruction of justice. Prove it, fat boy.'
Mc Mike
(9,114 posts)Just saw Phil Mudd point out to tRumper Paris Denard that there was no bar on Mike Flynn being political and keeping his security clearance, when it was a Dem president and Flynn was chanting 'lock her up' at tRUmp events. Repug prez T Rump appointed him NSA, instead of suggesting his security clearance be removed.
