White House paranoia deepens after Omarosa tapes

Washington (CNN)Secret tapes. Nondisclosure agreements. A lot of name calling.
The revelations surrounding Omarosa Manigault Newman's new memoir, and the ensuing fallout, are underscoring a level of dysfunction many now see as just part of life under President Donald Trump.

On Monday, the former senior aide revealed a recording she'd made of the President phoning her on the day after she was fired. Earlier, Manigault Newman released a tape of chief of staff John Kelly doing the firing in the White House Situation Room.

Neither contained outwardly embarrassing language. But the tapes' mere existence confirmed a longstanding reality: in Trump's White House, there are few norms or expectations of decorum that cannot be shattered.

Now, aides are wondering who else might be using a recording device to capture audio from private conversations. And they are girding for Manigault Newman to release more of her tapes, which she has teased at in a string of television interviews.

"I don't know. I'm going to watch to see," Manigault Newsman said Monday when asked on MSNBC whether she would make more of her recordings public. "I'm expecting that they're going to retaliate and so I'm just going to stand back and wait.".............................

What did you expect would happen when you decided to hire and then fire someone like Omarosa?
