Not a fan of hers but she's playing the hell out of her hand

She's shown she's smart enough to build up public anticipation with each tape release being better than the previous one.

she has been far more effective than I could have imagined. She appears to have planned all this thoroughly and knows what she is doing. I don't care for the woman, but I love her as an enemy of Trump.

She carried water for the Orange Nightmare and she KNEW he was an unhinged, unqualified wreck. She secretly recorded all kinds of things that could have hurt this maladministration long ago and saved it to cash in personally. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see stress and strife amongst WH staff but it’s really hard for me to get on the Omarosa love train now. Now every time she grabs the spotlight, someone important to the resistance will be maimed. I don’t like the game. However, if I could make a wish as to who I’d like to see in the barrel today, I’d choose SHS.

The way for her to maintain attention is for her to release ever more shocking tapes. Her goal is to sell books, she's using everything she recorded to do just that.

..I'll take any information she has and gladly see Trump and his minions pissed off and having to spin and cover. But I was worried that this would be an "All is forgiven!" situation like it was when Comey turned, or even more recently the "WE LOVE THE MEDIA!!!!" shtick after 20 years of them carrying water for the right and both-sidesing us into the Trump age.

Just because Trump hates someone doesn't make them our friend and doesn't make them a hero. Anyone even marginally to blame for Trump is welcome to attempt as much penance as they want for their sins and crimes, but I'm sure as shit not going to turn them into some kind of hero.

What would they argue? They don't know who or what the tape is of. You can't get a court to rule "Omarosa Manigault can't talk to the media about anything until she submits it for court review first". People have free speech rights. There is no prior restraint in our system. It just doesn't work that way.

This person knows how to play the game. She says she learned a lot from her time working with tRump, but it looks to me like she took his lessons and honed a fine edge on them. Like her, love her or despise her, she has tRump raging these days and she knows how to play that bastard like a fine fiddle. I am looking forward to hearing her next chapter in this novel called Revenge: Thy name is Omarosa. I am pretty sure she has thought this through and knows exactly where she is going with it.

There's always that possibility. The media should be extra wary and triple verify everything. Trump is out to ruin them.
