In reply to the discussion: Omarosa appears very credible. [View all]Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)That type of specific adds considerable weight but I still have my doubts this tape will be released to hurt Trump prior to the midterm, as Omarosa claimed tonight. This tape is hardly breaking news. There were reports of this tape prior to the 2016 election but supposedly the fine and legal jeopardy would be extreme if released by an NBC employee or former NBC employee.
Now Omarosa says she heard the tape after the release of her book. That is a very small recent window. I have my doubts. To be clear I have no doubt Trump actually used that word and a tape exists or existed at one point. But to believe the tape either changed hands to someone who is willing to release it, or the same person has had possession all along and now plans to release it and face the consequences, that stuff is like a parlay requiring multiple aspects to be true.
Parlays are long shots for a reason. I don't think we'll hear this tape any time soon, not before November.
Omarosa did a great job to tape Trump. Standard procedures cannot be used in regard to this administration. They merely adopt Roy Cohn mode and lie, lie and lie again. No shame at all. Change stories without shame because the gullible base will lap up anything.
The only recourse is to own damning tape
