Know what to expect. >> there is no concern of the white house of these tapes. everyone is so scared of what omarosa is going to reveal about them. i think some of those are definitely hyperbole. people are frustrated about the fact that omarosa was close to the president for decades. she was during the campaign and the transition and the white house when there was much at times kind of a bunker mentality of everyone sticking together so they feel betrayed. they certainly dont want to turn on th...
