6. Anthony Scaramucci Called Me to Unload About White House Leakers

On Wednesday night, I received a phone call from Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House communications director. He wasn’t happy. Earlier in the night, I’d tweeted, citing a “senior White House official,” that Scaramucci was having dinner at the White House with President Trump, the First Lady, Sean Hannity, and the former Fox News executive Bill Shine. It was an interesting group, and raised some questions. Was Trump getting strategic advice from Hannity? Was he considering hiring Shine? But Scaramucci had his own question—for me.

That is, if they can find a painting contractor willing to chance not getting paid for the job...

I keep saying it, but I repeat, the U.S. has been taken over by organized crime. Yeah, it's not so "organized," but the crime part? DEFINITELY.
