Scaramucci-Priebus feud reaches boiling point

A long-simmering feud between two of President Trump’s top advisers reached a boiling point Thursday, when White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci publicly insinuated that chief of staff Reince Priebus is a leaker. 

But the episode that triggered Scaramucci’s outburst — a media report on his financial disclosure forms — was not the result of a leak.

That didn’t stop Trump’s newly minted communications chief from calling into CNN to challenge Priebus to deny that he is a leaker. 

“When I put out a tweet and I put Reince's name in the tweet, they're all making the assumption that it's him, because journalists know who the leakers are,” Scaramucci said. “If Reince wants to explain he's not a leaker, let him do that.”
He continued: “But let me tell you about myself. I'm a straight shooter and I'll go right to the heart of the matter.”

Hmm...I think he meant to say, "I'm really full of bullshit and nonsense. They don't call me 'The Tongue' for nothing."

And doing it in the stupidest possible way. His financial disclosure forms weren't even leaked; they're publicly available to anyone who asks.

All mouth, no cattle.
