Lordy x 200…

Ya gotta admit, this lady is a genius. Same tactics, yes, but far smarter than Trump, because she actually had the ability to plan all this in advance. No way our little Mussolini would have the attention span to amass this much material.

I just hope she’s got multiple copies in non-U.S. safety deposit boxes!

Hmm. We’ve figured at least a certain percentage of them are embarrassing. Now assuming that percentage comes from such a large number, and further assuming she’s structuring the releases so the less embarrassing ones come out first, well, you can see that the final embarrassment level potentially reaches the yowza range.

Ross told her about several Cypriot banks that don’t ask a lot of questions wink wink.

Anyone can decide to be amoral. But you have to be born smart.

I wonder where they came up with 200. Maybe she leaked the number herself. I hope she has 2000.

200 recordings, but unless she only kept the juicy stuff, I would expect a fair number of them to be pretty mundane. Any shocking bits are likely to be pre-meeting gossip/banter, but I suspect most are like the Lara Trump conversation which back-up her version of events. She seems smart enough to deploy them to maximum effect, so she might be able to keep the train trolling for a while.

It appears she’s released the ones that impacted her directly. Which gives her a bit of gravitas, for the long-haul.

When those run out, it’s anyone’s guess what she’s got.

Important thing is, she’s not being frightened by Trump’s retaliations, thus far.

Instead of a parade of the troops we’ll have a parade of the tapes.

That’s a whole lotta news cycles she can control. She needs to be immediately hired as a spokesperson for that USB pen recording device company. Her recordings are so clear and easy to understand, not that garbled shit you usually hear in courts.

Omarosa, I’ve come to realize, is the true embodiment of what the Romans (and perhaps the Greeks before them?) called Janus faced (two-faced). We often use that term pejoratively and derogatorily, but in her case what I think it means is the ability to truly see two angles dispassionately and amorally and to optimize one’s path for each. She joined Trump as a play to tack on to his success, but she also simultaneously understood the many ways it could fall apart and how she could position herself to take advantage. So while she was more than willing to shill for him, she was simultaneously gathering evidence to dance on his carcass. Let’s hope the latter is what ends up happening.

Also, I predict she is not the only one to have tapes. Surely there are others in this snake pit with a half a brain who got everything they could down for potential later blackmail/monetizing.

tRump’s strength may be obtusely referring to stuff without ever giving up the big reveal. Yeah he has put out there consciousness of guilt shit but he may be just cagey enough to never say “put a bullet in his head and make the body go away.” Roy Cohn likely taught him well.

Pass the popcorn…

I tend to believe a certain percentage of the embarrassing ones will be used to directly refute their lies like the one of Katrina Pierson. All she had to do was to say nothing or tell the truth. She chose to lie and that blew up in her face. But Omarosa was most closely involved with the communications team. SHS would probably be sweating out her mascara if pigs could sweat.
