Treachery is everywhere in the White House

Beware the disgruntled avenging employee. Omarosa Manigault Newman, former Trump Apprentice star contestant and ex-White House "aide", actually taped her sacking while sitting in the top security Situation Room in the bowels of one of the most protected buildings on the planet. Unbelieveable breach of security, and if John Kelly, chief of staff, hadn't sacked her then, he would have been forced to do so later once it became known what she had done. Perhaps she could still face prosecution, although I doubt that will happen. The irony is that Kelly took her down into the basement room because he was afraid she might tape him. No one, NO ONE can tape anything in the Situation Room because of the danger of being hacked by an outside malevolent individual or nation. But still Manigault Newman managed to secretly tape the conversation with Kelly. He clearly didn't pat her down for wires!! Actually what she is complaining about, that Kelly was a bully and intimidated her, isn't borne out by the tape which she aired on NBC's Meet The Press. Kelly was trying to be nice to her, suggesting she resign rather than face the indignity of being fired and removed from the White House. She didn't take up the offer and subsequently had to be escorted from her office and hand over her security pass. Now she has come out with lots of dirt about the White House and Trump. I wonder if Bob Woodward interviewed her for his upcoming book, "Fear", all about the internal goings-on in the White House. How she managed to secrete a taping device into the Situation Room is extraodinary. Kelly slipped up there. Now all mobiles are banned from the White House. Having been fired, she has now produced a book of course which by the sound of it will accuse Trump of being racist. It's not a book I shall be runnng to the bookstalls to buy. I think I'll wait for Woodward's version of life in the White House due out next month.
