'A Liar should have a good Memory,' Trump thread cont.

Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

'More than 100 newspapers will publish editorials decrying Trump's anti-press rhetoric.'

I suspect that he's now 'draped with the presidential cloak' and it will require something extraordinary to remove him.

The same can not be said of the GOP.

She recorded it in a SCIF, did she not, lion ?:

'... As part of this process, non-cleared personnel are also typically required to surrender all recording, photographic and other electronic media devices. All of the activity and conversation inside is presumed restricted from public disclosure.[1][5]'
How on earth did that happen, the recording, that is? Why did Kelly do this interview in this location? Legal jeopardy? If so, she's obviously made herself a little unpopular with the WH, so will they go after her?

All very odd.

In the Situation Room, apparently.

All things considered, there must be an awful lot of tapes.

Quite.

cozie, by 2020, if he knows continuing in the office of POTUS protects him from certain Fed. and/or District legal proceedings, he'd have considerable incentive to 'barricade' himself in the WH. And before that, there would be a huge escalation of attempts to undermine the electoral system, both practically and with claims it is rigged against him (probably happen anyway). It could get nasty. One thing is pretty certain, the next couple of years are going to be even more unpleasant (+ Brexit).

Well, it certainly was a situation, lion

'Sensors were installed in the ceilings to detect cellular signals to prevent unauthorized communications and bugging by mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and other devices.[5] Before the renovation, the Secret Service confiscated phones but had no other means of preventing smuggled communication devices.[5] The new complex includes a lead-lined cabinet near the reception area for the deposit of personal communication devices upon entry.[6] Close by are glass-encased booths (which the Associated Press described as "retro-looking") for secure and private telephone calls.[6]'

Trump can call Omarosa 'lowlife' all he likes. But what does he expect when he employs Apprentice contestants for a political aide! She's a reality celebrity for god's sake. His judgement is absolutely crap.

Looks like the Trumpies have decided that, 'It* never happened,' is the safest answer.'

*Insert whatever corrupt, sneaky, illegal move here.

' ..... lack of transparency prevents the public from having visibility into conflicts by officials who may oversee millions in spending and make decisions that affect thousands of people.
A monthslong review of state ethics rules found that in 1 out of 5 states, top public health officials are not subject to any disclosure for financial holdings. Even when states do have rules on the books, they vary widely and loopholes abound.
Good government groups and ethics experts say the uneven rules — and ill-defined consequences if problems are identified — make it virtually impossible to know whether officials might have conflicts that skew their decision-making, or to hold them accountable if lapses do occur.'

There are small lockers outside the Situation Room where officials are supposed to put their phones, Apple watches, etc.

Basically no one who signed these sees them as enforceable. At Trump’s insistence, McGahn drafted what was described to me as a watered-down version of a nondisclosure agreement.

Conway says White House employees have signed NDA. "We have confidentiality agreements in the West Wing, absolutely."

Is Kelly denying the conversation in total, or saying it happened elsewhere?

Out of interest, has O'Connor conceded in Ohio?

It is maybe the accidental self-inoculating genius of Donald Trump that in surrounding himself for decades with hard-core thugs, crooks, charlatans, cheats & liars, if and when they finally turn on Trump their lack of credibility continues to serve Trump.

Ohio 12th, cozie. Still too close to call as an automatic recount may be triggered after provisional ballots have been counted.

Thanks, Gump.
