Gotta love Horse Whisperer... He always distills it to the bottom line...LOL

***************************************
For those who can't see tweeets:
The Omarosa tapes, according to NYT, have rattled the W.H. in a way few things other than Mueller's investigation have. Trump's aides have been concerned that they'll make appearances on other tapes, of which Omarosa is believed to have as many as 200.

this post lead to the following response:

6. It will be like DNC emails and Wikileaks, a new batch released every so often to keep it in the news

Omarosa's going to try not only to maximize her book sales but also angle for other media deals (appearance fees, TV/film rights maybe?).

Trumpland's pain is entirely of their own making. No sympathy here.

17. Hope to God she made copies and stashed the copies with several friends...

just in case she has an unfortunate "accident"—you know, the kind that seems to happen to Russians all the time.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. I seriously worry about her safety. Hope she realizes

she will have a target on her back for a long time with those trump crazies

[JHB]

56. And Russians.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. What happened to make them believe she has 200?

I haven't seen anything about that yet.

9. oma-fake. claims to have tapes are book selling PR. got tapes? play them

[hlthe2b]

14. Patience, grasshopper.... Sit back and enjoy the WH hysteria....

The important thing is THEY think she has them, whether she does or not. LOL

[YessirAtsaFact]

16. Exactly. She's milking the tapes for all the media attention she can get.

And driving the ShitGibbon bananas in the process.

[YessirAtsaFact]

15. No, release them in dribs and drabs to continue to dominate news cycles

It's better for her book sales and it hurts Trump more.

BTW, while I don't think she's a person of integrity, I do believe the recordings are real.

10. "straight from Mr. Trump's playbook"

The tapes of Ms. Manigault Newman’s private conversations with Mr. Trump and other officials connected to him have rattled the White House in a way that few things other than the special counsel investigation into possible campaign collusion with Russia have. Mr. Trump’s aides have been concerned that they will make appearances on other tapes, of which Ms. Manigault Newman is believed to have as many as 200.

Her willingness to slowly deploy the tapes for maximum effect is straight from Mr. Trump’s playbook, which includes boasts of relying on “truthful hyperbole” to engage people, of threatening to expose people with recordings and of claiming to have scurrilous information about people that he might reveal at any moment.

“Believe me,” Ms. Manigault Newman said on MSNBC, invoking one of Mr. Trump’s favorite phrases to convey his sincerity, “my tapes are much better than theirs.”

Ms. Manigault Newman is not the only person who has caused Mr. Trump harm with his own tactics.

Another is Michael D. Cohen, the president’s former personal lawyer, who told allies he did not want to be made the scapegoat for Mr. Trump’s legal troubles. Mr. Cohen secretly recorded a conversation in which he and Mr. Trump discussed payments from The National Enquirer’s parent company to a Playboy model who had claimed she had an affair with Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump’s campaign said it had no knowledge of the payments, but the recording was made before those denials.

Michael Avenatti — who represents Stephanie Clifford, the pornographic film actress who also said she had an affair with Mr. Trump and was paid hush money by Mr. Cohen — has also used the president’s own tactics to rattle him.

26. I just have to say it. You lie down with dogs...

You get up with fleas. He brought her into the White House knowing exactly who and what she was. God bless his poor judgement. It's pure poetic justice.

[procon]

27. Lets see, if she rolls a couple of them out every week or so, she could keep it going

up to the next presidential election. My, my, my, doesn't that sound familiar?

33. Just like Sting said:

"You considered me the young apprentice . . ."

"Mephistopheles is not your name,
But I know what you're up to just the same.
I will listen hard to your tuition,
And you will see it come to its fruition."

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air, you'll never find me.
I will turn your flesh to alabaster.
When you find your servant is your Master.

You'll be wrapped around my finger."

If anyone wants to post that video, I'd be grateful . . . .

[Honeycombe8]

41. He also said: Every move you make, every vow you break, Every smile you fake, I'll be watching you.

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
My poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

37. There are no tapes, most likely.

Almost 100% certainty these recordings (if real) are digital recordings, not tapes. Files are typically MP3s, just like most digital music files these days.

Most people use small digital audio recorders such as those made by Olympus and Sony and you can even get those that look like an ink pen for around $40 that records up to 7-hours before download is required. They all have voice-activated recording capability.

Therefore, Omarosa may have stored and/or passed along copies of these digital files to any number of persons, devices or to cloud storage services.

.........

[iluvtennis]

43. I think "tapes" is just colloquial term - like Kleenex for a tissue. I still say I'm going to tape

a TV show when it's actually being captured digitally on the DVR hard drive in the cable box.

Omarosa is old school like a lot of us and she used "tape" to mean she recorded something digitally.

So simple to say "tape" versus "digital recording"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

49. Yes, I agree.

I mainly posted all that to point out that she won't be "making copies" as with real tape and that those digital files are subject to being hacked or passed around to any number of places, depending on how secure she has kept them. We can bet there will be massive attempts to hack these recordings.

A wise person would have at least one copy of the original files on a device in a second, secure location and I'm confident her attorneys have seen to that.

.....

[Honeycombe8]

42. 200? Two Hundred????? Oh, my. Oh, my, my, my, my. I think someone's regretting firing her.

What do you think? As others have said, poetic justice. When you have a group of unethical people on a team, you have...well, you have a group of unethical snakes.

She has enough recordings to release a couple a week up to the mid-terms. Which puts a smile on my face.

[ecstatic]

47. It's called KARMA! I honestly would love for the n word tape

to be released election eve. Yeah, I dare you trumpers to show up in droves to support that shit. I dare you! The news should swarm the area as well.

[Honeycombe8]

48. She has said she does not have a recording of that.

That's what I recall in one interview. She said she'd been told that he'd used the N word. She hadn't heard him say it herself.

But even if he did and there's a recording of it, that won't hurt him with Republicans. Just independents. (I'm assuming Dems are not going to vote for him next time...IF he's around to run. Which I hope he won't be.)

[CaptainTruth]

45. As a long-time audio/video production professional & musician ...

... I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me what format these "tapes" were recorded on.

Microcassette?

Call it a pet peeve of mine, but the media keeps talking about "tapes" & yet I haven't used tape (analog, yes there's still DLT for data backup) in years, unless I want to dip into my virgin supply of Ampex 456 1/4" & use it for mastering an album to get that old school tape compression/distortion sound.

So ... "tapes?" Exactly what kind of tapes? It's relevant because it determines how easily the recording could have been made. Ever try to record a phone call on tape on a Studer A800? Uh ... no. Not believable. Tell me the tape format & the recorder used & I can make an informed judgement about how plausible the claim is.

Sorry about the rant, but as someone who records audio on an almost-daily basis, I'm tired of our media saying "tape" when they mean "recording."

Ok ... rant off.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

52. See my post #37 and as someone else pointed out...

"tapes" is just a worn-out colloquial term that still gets thrown around. I think microcassettes went out of vogue 20 years ago, LOL (I still have one stored away).

BTW, I was in the pro-audio biz many years ago too, designing/building consoles and complete studios in the 70s. We sold Scully and Ampex machines back then and many were 1" and 2".

Lordy, how things have changed. Although I sometimes miss it, it's probably best for my family I moved on to different areas of engineering for a living due to the inherent volatility of that biz. Fun work, though while it lasted. Once I heard music in a studio back in the late 60s, I was spoiled for life.

[hlthe2b]

57. yeah... to say "tape" means "recording" similarly as to say Beyonce has new "album" out, when

she may or may not have released a "vinyl" (LP) version....

Everything may be digital now, but the old terms linger.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

59. LOL, I'm old enough to remember my parents telling me...

to "blow the lights out" at bedtime when I was a kid. They were depression era folks that were raised by kerosene lamps, well before REA brought electricity through our area.......

[ecstatic]

46. Even my 9 year old nephew is up to date on the drama

I was shocked when he mentioned it. He knows Omarosa from Celebrity Big Brother. Smh.
