Tuesday Omarosa tape drop dredges the N wörd out of Trump’s septic tank
Last night, on Hardball:
Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman says that she’s “certainly” willing to share recordings from her time in the Trump administration with special counsel Robert Mueller, and that his office has already reached out to her. …
Asked by host Chris Matthews if she has tapes from her time working in the Trump administration beyond the two she has shared publicly in recent days, Manigault Newman said, “I have plenty.”
“Anything Mueller would like to see?” Matthews asked.
“If his office calls again … anything they want I’ll share,” Manigault Newman responded. “Anything that they want, I’ll certainly cooperate.”

Today, Omarosa dropped another tape — this time in connection with an appearance on “CBS This Morning”:
President Trump says former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman lied when she called him a racist who has said the N-word on tape. The president tweeted Monday night, “I don’t have that word in my vocabulary and never have. She made it up.” But a new recording, obtained by CBS News overnight, seems to back up Omarosa’s story that several Trump advisers discussed an alleged tape during the 2016 campaign.
Trump campaign advisers denied on Monday that any conversations took place. CBS News has not been able to verify the authenticity of the recording – though it appears to confirm Omarosa’s claims that Trump campaign officials were aware of a tape in which then-candidate Trump uses a racial slur, and they talked about how to handle it.

Now, what would you want to bet that Omarosa would not have dropped this tape first if she also had a tape of Trump using a certain word?
The smart money is on this matter getting a lot worse for Trump — and quickly!
Trump should have realized that it is unwise to backstab a resourceful and media-savvy backstabber who is more eloquent, coherent, and (yes) likable than he is! Thus endeth the lesson…
