Weekly Whiner
2018-Week 34 - Whiner of the Week - Omarosa, loves to tape people unknowingly in secure places

On or around Aug 12, 2018 Omarosa Manigault Newman released a tape from the White House by Chief of Staff John Kelly last December. She was fired from her White House job last December in 2017. Her last day was supposed to January 20, 2018.

n the time between her firing she has appeared on numerous talk shows and she has been writing a new book, “Unhinged”.  The book was announced on July 26th.  Then on August 12th Omarosa started releasing tapes which immediately upped interest in her as she began the talk show circuit.

Since August 12th a new tape has surfaced almost each day in Omarosa’s attempts to maintain her relevancy trundles along.  The timing of her tape releases are forcing the Talk Shows to discuss her.  As Stephen Colbert pointed out on his Tuesday, August 14th late show, “Every aspect of the story is salacious, including the fact that the NDAs Trump has everyone around him sign are borderline useless.  Yes, it would seem the NDA’s that the women around Trump have signed, mean nothing.

2017-12 – Omarosa is fired by John Kelly, January 20th is supposed to be her last day.  The reason reported appears to be abusing the White House car service known as “CARPET”.  She was using it to get picked up, and dropped off, at the office.

2008-08-14 – Trump tweets “When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out,” Trump wrote. “Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”.  There has been some discussion on Trump’s use of the term dog.  A standard vernacular in the English language.

2008-08-23? – Omarosa stated she is ready to testify at Trump’s impeachment trial with the Senate.

In Closing:

Omarosa stated she “never signed the draconian NDA when she started working in the White House.  Given this, she should never have been allowed in the White House Situation Room.   Even Stormy Daniels signed an NDA, hmm, never mind.

She did not have a Security Clearance, she should never have been allowed in the Situation Room.

Things of course, should be changed at the White House in regard to security.    The Situation Room is not a gilded French Provincial Hotel Conference room.
