It is clear the OP knew that all caps cause emotional trauma, and used them intentionally for the express purpose of riling up emotions.

Everything she's "revealed" has elicited a big "DUH" from me. He's a racist asshole which endears him to his base and enrages his detractors.

She's got a book to sell. Mission Accomplished.

Thump is a master at manipulating the media.

We're all players in his latest reality show.

So then why is Trump so worried about something that he says never happened?

This is just like Trump's Russia never interfered with the elections besides it is
all Obama & Hillary's fault.

t-rump campaign, not the WH gig. If it only pertains to the campaign and not the WH, then there is no legal basis of the lawsuit. Here's hoping that she kept a signed and dated copy.

...keyword...discovery. She's making all this allegations about what's on the Apprentice B-roll. Trump's saying it's not true. Easy enough, let's listen to the B-roll. It'll either exonerate her (as she will claim) or hang her. I expect the former.

IIRC, there's another case going on somewhere that had a lot of discovery exposure for DJT.

This could get fun.

Tue Aug 14, 2018, 11:43 AM

if so... case over... the NDA is not enforceable.

She has an obligation to not disclose any classified material. She cannot make statements on behalf of the government without approvals from supervisory officials. But her service was terminated... she no longer speaks for the Trump administration... she is allowed to say whatever she wants (as far as the NDA).

That said, she may face criminal charges for violation National Security Policy by taking a recording device into a "SCIF" (Sensitive compartmented information facility). I have to believe that the White House Situation room qualifies as a SCIF.

OTOH... if she didn't have any clearance herself... and was a guest of Gen Kelly, she may avoid the charges by claiming that she was not properly warned or that the conversation was not classified.

That's pretty weak... but then this isn't like she was recording military movements or nuclear codes in there.

His days are going to get so complicated with legalese, he won't know which trial to attend on which day. He'll have to keep all his lies in order so he doesn't testify to a question in the Mueller trial when it should be in the Omarosa trial...or, is that the Cohen trial...

I suppose that when you've lied all your life, it isn't that difficult to line them all up and only pull them out when needed. I don't know about Trump, but my head hurts thinking about it.

Can you imagine the conversations going on at the White House these days. Especially anything on that unsecured phone tRump insists on using. We really are in a reality show but I am not sure this is the one tRump expected. Or is it??? Stay tuned for more of “These are the Days of Our Lives.”

tape, they can always contact Putin. I would imagine he planted a bug the last time they were together. He may loan out a copy.

I would also guess they are covering The Trump Trilogy on As The World Churns. You'd have to write each day's episode that morning, as the plot changes drastically with each tweet. What a nightmare.

In no way discounting the fact that she is polarizing and very unlikable in many ways.
