Omarosa Secretly Taped John Kelly Firing Her In The SITUATION ROOM

I don’t know what Omarosa was thinking. Did she really believe that she’d be able to get away with writing a book filled with unsubstantiated allegations and get away with it without a scratch? Maybe she did. Maybe she thought that the anti-Trump media would back her up 100%. Maybe she thought the hate was SO strong that she wouldn’t have to worry about it. I think she was expecting people like George Conway and Frank Luntz– two people who aren’t exactly Trump’s #1 fan– to go along with her and let her claims slide, but they didn’t. And now? Now she looks like a fool and is slowly admitting to some of her lies.

On Sunday, Omarosa essentially admitted she lied in another interview. She didn’t happily and willingly resign from the White House, as previously claimed. She was FIRED. Her own tapes prove that. Yep. That’s right. Omarosa taped John Kelly firing her and shared the audio with NBC’s “Meet The Press.”

Oh. And this recording took place in the SITUATION ROOM, and I don’t even know how that’s possible. Aren’t they supposed to give up all electronic devices before entering? I know there’s SOME sort of protocol there.

Back to Kelly-

Kelly says in the tape that she was being let go for ‘serious integrity violations’ that he did not detail yet said involved money and improper use of government vehicles. He can be heard denying a request for her to speak with president about her dismissal, which he said was non-negotiable.

“I think it’s important to understand that if we make this a friendly departure we can all be, you know, you can look at, look at your time here in, in the White House as a year of service to the nation,” Kelly told her. “And then you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation.”

Kelly sounded nothing but nice to her. It sounded like he was legitimately trying to help her save her reputation. Little did he know she’d go on to destroy it herself, starting with her appearance on “Celebrity Big Brother.”

“If I did not have this recording, people would still believe the false, incredible story that I was running around the White House … that I tried to charge the residence of the White House. People would still think that I was trying to set off alarms,” Omarosa said. “So yes I recorded myself and I have no regret about it.”

She also maintained that she heard the tape of Trump using the n-word, but she now says she didn’t hear it until AFTER she finished writing her book. That apparently explains her own contradiction. I guess she said she only heard ABOUT the audio in the book, but she told NPR she heard it herself.

“It was confirmed what I feared the most: that Donald Trump is a con and has been masquerading as someone who is actually open to engaging with diverse communities, but when he talks that way, the way he did on his tape, it confirmed that he is truly a racist,” she said.

Good grief.

But remember this?

In the past, Omarosa has praised President Trump, saying “I have never seen him act inappropriately in the 14 years that I’ve known him.” She commended the way he treats all people, and said he is not a racist. #OmarosaUnhinged

Also:

Secretly recording conversations in the Situation Room isn't just wildly inappropriate, it's a threat to our national security. If she broke federal law, she should be prosecuted.
