The White House is looking into legal options against former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman after she secretly recorded chief of staff John Kelly in the Situation Room, ABC News reported Sunday.

The administration reportedly wants to block Manigault Newman from releasing any more tapes and punish her for the recording she revealed on NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier Sunday, which was taped during Kelly's firing of her back in December.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Sunday that the “very idea a staff member would sneak a recording device into the White House Situation Room, shows a blatant disregard for our national security.”

“And then to brag about it on national television further proves the lack of character and integrity of this disgruntled former White House employee,” Huckabee Sanders continued.

1. Somebody is very worried about what might be on more tapes....

[DemocracyMouse]

22. Legal experts are saying Amarosa has done nothing illegal

2. So why was this "low life" with such a "lack of character"

invited into the White House to begin with, not to mention the Situation Room?

Corrupt AND incompetent.

[exboyfil]

8. You got it

It was "fake" news when the media questioned her qualifications and her actual role in the White House. Like so many others in the WH she had no business being there.

They broke it, they own it. I guess they will figure out a way to blame Obama or Clinton before it is said and done.

[iluvtennis]

16. And what about Trump's lack of qualifications. What is that old saying, Birds of a feather flock

together.

Trump's entire administration is unqualified to be in the WH.

[DemocracyMouse]

18. Amarosa is 100% FOR national security by recording...

... these agents of Russia. THAT ISN'T OUR GOVERNMENT, so recording these traitors in ANY room is not just competent, it's brilliant. She's a hero, even if the recordings only show a fraction of the total body of evidence that is building up.

Why is anybody in DU giving this brave woman a hard time? She originally wanted a job in the Clinton administration, but when offered a gig at the clown administration she took it. She needed a damn job. It would give her some major work and life exoerience.

Stop ragging on Amarosa.

[thucythucy]

37. I think you missed my point

which is: if Trump and Sanders think she's so awful, why was she chosen to work at the White House in the first place?

As for why others might "rag on Amarosa" I'll let them speak for themselves.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

28. She was at the WH because Trump hires only the best people

It's good to see her character (or lack thereof) matches that of her former boss.

[Cosmocat]

30. THIS - and when will this country

Stop chasing its tail, and simply blame the root cause for the endless chaos that comes from the White House.

[struggle4progress]

34. "Her boobies reminded me of Ivanka! How was I to know she was a lowlife?"

[Oneironaut]

41. It's kind of like Tony Soprano whining about his henchmen having no morals.

[madaboutharry]

3. She should go on Morning Joe tomorrow

and play them all on live tv.

[DemocracyMouse]

19. Totally.

[Shaddox]

4. To quote Seinfeld, "Newman!".

[Glamrock]

5. Weren't these people supposed to be experts at "vetting"?

[DemocracyMouse]

20. For what? She's a hero! She has recordings of these Russian agents.

[Glamrock]

21. Huh?

Trumpbsaid we needed "extreme vetting". He can't even vet his own people.

[Power 2 the People]

6. Shows how incompetent this administration is AT EVERYTHING

[Lint Head]

7. Release them now!

[Permanut]

9. Okay, So Sarah Huckabee Sanders is lecturing about character and integrity..

I think George Orwell wrote something about this.

[thbobby]

10. How Bizzare

The coming blockbuster on trump's presidency will not be a dramatic political suspense about the end of Democracy.

It will be a comedy of the same caliber as Idiocracy only much more stupid and insanely humorous.

That is if trump, Russia, and the gop traitors are stopped.

[poetshepherd]

11. What a load!

It has been well documented that the trump WH allowed staff their cell phones while in the West Wing. Kelly eventually cut down on that, but how much infamy do you think has been recorded by Ivanka et al? I'll bet enough to fill a dozen tell-all $ makers.

[global1]

12. What Sarah Should Have Said....

"The very idea that a WH staff member could sneak a recording device into the White House Situation Room, shows a blatant disregard by this administration for protecting our national security and preventing such occurrences."

I can't believe that - in this day and age - that recording devices couldn't be exposed by electronic surveillance in the WH. It doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me that this administration is supposed to protect us when they can't even devise a system in the WH to prevent unauthorized recording devices from being used and prevent recordings such as the one Omarosa released today on MTP.

[iluvtennis]

17. +++ agree

[Solly Mack]

13. Snort

[DesertRat]

14. Trump hired her

[dchill]

15. "...the lack of character and integrity..."

If the shoe fits...

[Supernova9]

23. Wow

Wow

[radical noodle]

24. I guess she forgot that trump

insinuated publicly that he had tapes of himself and Comey speaking privately?

It's laughable at best that any of them would pretend they care about national security.

[AwakeAtLast]

35. He also said, "I hope there are tapes!"

And there are.

[radical noodle]

39. I think it was Comey who said that

but I can't keep up with all of trump's drivel, so maybe he did too.

[AwakeAtLast]

43. My excuse for getting it mixed up

Would be your excuse. It is hard (and painful) to try to keep up!

Thanks for the reminder!

[area51]

25. Seriously, Sarah Fuckabee Sanders,

it's Trump who "shows a blatant disregard for our national security."

[LittleGirl]

26. +1 eom

[AlexSFCA]

27. there are no rules with this WH, Omarosa was being business savvy

she learned the con from the don. The girl knows how to make a buck and I don’t blame her for it; she totally belonged to this WH. Can’t believe she said she was worrying that she wouldnt be replaced by a black
woman, you can’t make this stuff up.
comedy gold - I can only consume news through Trevor, Bee, Colbert, Randy Rainbow, etc.

[Raven123]

29. Ironic that Trump suggested his conversations with Comey were secretly taped

As is turned out, many people not named Comey were taping Trump.

[7962]

31. It also proves that WH security sucks. nt

32. Omarosa: Trump's haters will be forced to 'bow down' to him

BY NEETZAN ZIMMERMAN - 09/23/16 09:25 AM EDT

Former "Apprentice" contestant and top Donald Trump cheerleader Omarosa Manigault is warning his critics they will soon be bowing down before him.

“Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump,” she said. "It’s everyone who’s ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe” ...

33. Omarosa: Trump campaign keeping 'list' of enemies

By Eugene Scott, CNN
Updated 6:33 PM ET, Wed November 9, 2016

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump surrogate Omarosa Manigault said the President-elect's campaign is keeping a list of people who did not support his run to the White House.

"Let me just tell you, Mr. Trump has a long memory and we're keeping a list," Manigault, the campaign's director of African-American outreach, told the Independent Journal Review, an online news outlet started by two former GOP staffers aimed at a center-right audience ...

36. tRump continues to use his

unsecured device to post on Twitter....

[Gary Gary]

38. too late

The media probably has them already.

[mahannah]

40. Why was the Situation Room used? Doesn't Kelly have an office?

[truthisfreedom]

42. They all SO deserve each other.

[YOHABLO]

44. Trump characterizes her as not being very smart. Interesting she had the foresight to tape him.

Being the opportunist that she is, she obviously knew how to make a few bucks off of him. She must have gone to ''Trump University''.
