CNN retraction and apology
On June 26, 2017, three network investigative journalists: Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris, resigned from CNN over a retracted Trump-Russia story that connected Scaramucci to a $10 billion Russian investment fund. The network apologized to Scaramucci and stated the online story did not meet their editorial standards. Scaramucci said the original story was not true, and accepted CNN's apology. CNN stated that the investigation found the story wasnt solid enough for publication.[28][29]

(85,996 posts)Anthony Scaramucci, aide to President-elect Donald Trump and founder of SkyBridge Capital, discussed possible joint investments in a meeting in Davos with the head of a Russian sovereign wealth fund that the U.S. sanctioned in 2015, the funds press service said.
The meeting with Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, a $10 billion state-run investment vehicle, is the first public contact between the incoming administration and Kremlin-backed business. Trump has suggested he could ease the sanctions on Russia if the Kremlin cooperates on his policy priorities. Scaramucci confirmed the Davos meeting.
In an interview with the Russian state news agency TASS Tuesday, he also criticized the sanctions as ineffective. Trumps view about Russia is that theres probably shared values or shared interests, that we can align ourselves with each other and this could be mutually beneficial, he said.
Dmitrievs fund said its organizing a visit by a delegation of top U.S. corporate executives to Russia and plans to open a representative office in New York in May. In an interview last week, Dmitriev said the visit would be aimed at highlighting the benefits of closer economic ties and could take place as early as this spring. The current U.S. administration has discouraged American business from working with the Kremlin in the wake of the sanctions it imposed after the Russian intervention in Ukraine starting in 2014.
Speaking to Bloomberg Television Tuesday, Scaramucci said hes long known Dmitriev and worked with him to set up the business delegation as a private citizen. The idea was, many months ago, to have more outreach with Russia, he said, noting that he will have to determine whether he can continue from within the administration, given ethics rules.

This has probably made his heart hard and cold.

(5,914 posts)That is a tender age for people to come up to you in the hallway at school and sing "Galileo Galileo", etc., and then they just laugh at you. People have been doing that to him ever since. You know this has turned him mean and wicked.
