1. A top administrative aide to Trump. I have heard she has an office next to the oval office.

Other than that she has remained pretty low key. Implications are she knows a lot of "stuff."

She is his "gatekeeper" She knows everything about who is who, who did what, who met with trump, who said what in the meetings. She has been with trump for 30 years.

13. Definitely an option although it sounds as if her loyalty runs very deep.

I wonder if the deals would matter to her. It will better nteresting to see how this plays out but I think she’s going to be tainted.

Like Rick Wilson says, “Everything Trump touches dies.”

6. She's Trump's (im)plausible deniability -- he doesn't use email, and she answers the office phone

Trump thinks like a pre-internet gangster -- if he doesn't put it in writing himself, or the phone call doesn't get placed to his number, he can claim he didn't know about it.

7. I think she has Hope Hicks' old job

... except maybe she doesn't steampress his pants.

The job she's doing is significant in that Chump never sends or receives emails. His messages are sent to and answered by his secretary (now Rhona, formerly Hope) on his orders. So Rhona should be able to answer a lot of questions, and of course Hope should as well.

8. She's Trump's Rosemary Woods

but without a Dictaphone. Although Trump is such a Luddite maybe he does use one. I wonder if Rhona is as good a contortionist as Rosemary?

11. She's soon to be trump's ex executive secretary

Who'll either go to jail for lying to Congress, or will tell everything on trump because she'll have no choice to, and be fired by trump for it. Either way her life will be very different, plus she probably knows the truth is already well known and will be all corroborated by others like Weiselberg and others, and with lots of documentation. She has to tell the truth or become another trump enabler heading to prison. Sater and weiselberg are also two that'll only dig trumps hole a lot deeper , and show a lot more proof how incredibly corrupt he really is. They both alone will have more than enough to put trump away for a long, long time, and it'll all be getting exposure very soon for trump, and he knows it. He'll be accusing them soon trying to project they are the ones corrupt and lying , and not him. Everyone else is always a liar and corrupt except himself so he claims.

15. She has remained at Trump Org. in New York but is in constant contact with Trump

She still handles all sorts of matters for him that are not official WH business and reportedly has been going around WH staffers to maintain her close contacts handling stuff for him.

None of this surprises me. I doubt she’d ever turn on him.

I do hope she’s called to testify, however.
