She didn't answer that question because the answer would be "I can recognize a chance to make money when I see one!"

She's said a lot of things on TV. See: her entire support of Trump. And I'm definitely not saying that she's wise, brilliant or reliable.

However, I definitely think that she has consulted some decent lawyers about her tapes(and videos?). She seems super confident that she is not going to jail for taping all the things. I'm guessing she ran it by some lawyers, maybe even intelligence folks, before or during her process of making tapes. She has a much better CYA policy than Trump ever has, as shown by the fact that everything in her book is backed up with hard evidence, because no one would believe her otherwise.

I read her book(for free) and although I certainly noted some areas of probable glossing over, the tea on the White House rang true and definitely seemed to fill in the picture more than muddy it, largely. I did get the sense that she had cared for him and some people in his family as friends, as she tried to portray them fairly even-handedly.

What strikes me most is that she seems less a liar than a shit-stirrer- that is, she's happy to play a role on TV, but overall she seems more prone to bluntness than bullshit. The real question she didn't answer in her book for me is how she could possibly think, after attending his rallies and seeing the people in his campaign, that his policies would be at all reasonable.

I'm not sure she's out of the woods yet with regard to the legal quagmire.

As for smart, she once said on national TV that "calling the kettle black" was a racist statement. SO.

Omarosa said to Ofay-roh, "Let my people go!"Meaning the remaining "Blacks for Trump."Sounds doable, because they wouldn't fill up a 747.

Strategic of Omarosa, opting for a slow trickle rather than a torrent of tapes.

More to add. St. Omarosa, non-virgin and martyr-forking devotee of the pagan religion of MAGAnism, had a vision of- well, who?- we need more Saints of Color, c'mon, Pope Frankie. Anyway, she renounced MAGAnism and has been anathematised in the RWNJ press and is saying to the Ofay-roh, "Let my people go," meaning the so-called Blacks for Trump. Given that they would, each and every, fit into a 747, that seems doable. Wish her luck and stay tuned for the next tapelet which she will bring down from the Mountain.

I think she wanted to get back at him more, and you cant put a price on that if you're Omarosa

It would be irresponsible not to ejaculate!

I do, actually. If they don't like Omarosa, I think they'd be pissed that their money is going to her.
