https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/trump-aide-recalls-conways-leaking-tactics-in-the-west-wing-vipers-nestSHE WAS A CARTOON VILLAIN BROUGHT TO LIFE: A FORMER TRUMP AIDE RECALLS CONWAYS LEAKING TACTICS IN THE WEST WING VIPERS NEST
I had not brought my work laptop upstairs with me when she called, so Kellyanne pointed over to her personal MacBook sitting on the conference table on the other side of the room. Just use that and type something up for me, she said.
...
And since her iMessage account was tied to both her phone and her laptop, which she must not have even considered, I could inadvertently see every conversation she was having.
...
Over the course of 20 minutes or so, she was having simultaneous conversations with no fewer than a half-dozen reporters, most of them from outlets the White House frequently trashed for publishing fake news. Journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, Politico, and Bloomberg were all popping up on the screen. And these werent policy conversations, or attempts to fend off attacks on the president. As I sat there trying to type, she bashed Jared Kushner, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, and Sean Spicer, all by name. (The real leakers, past and present, get much more positive press than I do. While its rare, I prefer to knife people from the front, so they see it coming, Conway said in a statement shortly after publication. According to a source familiar with the situation, the statement was drafted in consultation with her husband, George Conway.)

The Conways play for both sides for their own personal gain (present and future).

All will emerge soiled and destroyed; many will spend years in jail.

(4,269 posts)5. If what you're saying is what ends up happening with KellyAnn (I disagree)
but if that were to be the case, that's where Mr Conway comes into play.
But I think both of them will be more than fine.

This is becoming "Hitler in the Bunker" for first graders.

With the help of her enabling and scheming, he got elected and done the bidding of both the far right and mainstream Repubs who wanted tax cuts and deregulation and rightwing judges and he has taken moves to placate the evangelicals and now RNC is going to lock out a primary challenge, so I don't think she is too worried over this new book.
