Oh fun, Omarosa "taped nearly every conversation she had while working in the White House"

Omarosa taped nearly every conversation she had while working in the White House, including ones with "all of the Trumps," a source who watched her make many of the tapes tells Axios. Omarosa did this with a personal phone, almost always on record mode.

Why it matters: Omarosa is far from the only White House staffer to exploit lax internal oversight and loose loyalties to collect damaging info on Trump and others. And we know of several staffers who took careful notes for future deployment.

BTW, where did you meet her? Did you go to school with her? How long have you known her personally, to able to make these assertions?

I'll bet the answer to all is zero - am I right?

So what you are here for is to sling mud - attack the messenger - and hopefully derail or distract from the information she has on Trump.. Right again?

applauded her for targeting Trump. No, I do not know her, nor do any of us know the many people that we comment on on our posts. It was just my humble opinion and you are, of course, free to disagree. I have never gone into any job secretly taping every conversation with my boss or co-workers and yes, I do question the motives of anyone who would do so. In this case, I am glad that she did because well, it is Trump! I can get on that bandwagon. I am NOT trying to derail or distract from any info she has on Trump - I welcome it. It is the same thing as seeing Michael Cohen as a third rate thug and a criminal in his own right but hoping like hell that he helps to bring Trump down. So no, not right again.

No one else could possibly know each and every time she did or didn't tape a conversation.

But I have no doubt she has a bunch of recorded conversations. She's holding back, waiting to see if they attack her more.

She may never release them all. Or release them in the future, for a sh*tload of money. Trump was right...he DID help her make money and further her career! They made a yuge mistake when they fired her.
