Omarosa in interview: "WH ordered Trump-campaign staff to destroy or hide evidence."

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/4/24/1852820/-Former-White-House-advisor-says-campaign-documents-were-destroyed-or-hidden-from-investigators?utm_campaign=trending



MANIGAULT-NEWMAN: It's simple. He wants to run down the clock and thinks people will stop being concerned about it.

We should really not just focus on what he is telling people to do or say, but how he's asked people to destroy documents, to destroy e-mails, in my case two boxes of campaign-related materials the white house still has in their possession that they claim they don't have or don't know what happened to it.

MELVIN: What was in the boxes?

MANIGAULT-NEWMAN: All e-mails related to the campaign that I'm sure Congress will be as interested as the Mueller team was.

MELVIN: Were you ever told or encouraged to destroy potential evidence?

MANIGAULT-NEWMAN: I wasn't told directly but they were very clear about not wanting us to share those things. Right after the campaign, the day after, they took our e-mails down and told us we had no access to it. Wouldn't even allow us to get lists off. They were certainly working to try to hide the things we now know are involved with this investigation.

She writes a book, she's on all the talk shows and news shows. She talks about all of these terrible things she heard and was witness while working in the WH under this administration: corruption, illegal activities,national security violations, racism,sexism, etc and she had no problem being there until she was fired. Then after she was fired she can't keep her mouth shut and all of a sudden it was so so bad there. If she hadn't been fired she probably would still be there watching, hearing and keeping quiet.

The entire group "working" in this WH is complicit, and they all know how unfit the orange clown is for the position. Taxpayers pay well, however, and trips to the golden palace in Florida are seemingly special. They are a group of traitors, allowing a fake to destroy the country. He has lots of help from the cowardly gop. All LIARS working for the liar in chief. He will be remembered as the worst president EVER. Putin delivered the country to be systematically destroyed, and it hardly cost him a thing. Stolen rubles were scattered around, and the greedy were bought. This is a joke perpetrated by Russia. We are all victims.

" ... they were very clear about not wanting us to share those things." Specifically, who told her that?

What we have here is a bunch of degenerate grifters, who gravitate to Trump in the belief that they will get some financial reward. Everyone a moral degenerate and back-stabber.
