Brennan: "Trump's claims of no collusion are, in a word, hogwash. The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion." nytimes.com/2018/08/16/opi…
Add...

Omarosa released a new secret tape to MSNBC of Lara Trump offering her a $15,000-a-month job on the Trump re-election campaign. The offer was apparently made just days after she was fired from the administration.

Omarosa asserts that the tape shows "an attempt to buy my silence, to censor me, and to pay me off … by the campaign" after she was fired.

Lara Trump issues a statement via the Trump campaign and the last line reads like a reality star voted off a reality show:

“I hope it’s all worth it for you, Omarosa, because some things you just can’t put a price on.”
Add...
Major Trump donors are bothered the campaign may have been used as a slush fund to pay fired or troublesome employees.

Linda Chavez, who held Omarosa's job in the Reagan admin: "fact that a reality TV personality was appointed by Trump is astonishing to me & frankly, I sometimes think that maybe I ought to take it off my resume, she may have ruined that position."
