Jake Tapper (CNN) had an unusually good morn on twitter, you MUST see this

It started early this morning around 8:30 est when Arthur Schwartz who has been identified as Scaramucci's spokesperson took to twitter to threaten Reince Priebus. Telling Priebus to shut up about the sale of Scaramucci's company being tainted with 'having inside access to Trump' which Scaramucci used to raise his asking price.

Anyway Arthur Schwartz tweets to threaten to reveal Priebus has a mistress as a way to keep Priebus quiet.

Jake Tapper gets involved. Asks Schwartz a few questions. Schwartz goes ballistic to Tapper for a couple hours threatens to sue Jake Tapper. Tapper calmly asks more questions, Schwartz gets more unhinged and then...

Scaramucci spokesman Arthur Schwartz deletes all his tweets, issues an apology to Priebus and falls silent.

All in all an entertaining morning on twitter.

You can see it all on Jake Tappers Twitter feed here:

Looks like a flash flood alert.

Move to higher ground, Democrats!

Trump cannot abide such pusillanimity

Hire Michael Caputo back

He's a stone, unrepentant liar!

Tapper has been on and off supine lately
in the face of a barrage of gishgalloping horseshit

His lavage of Gorka was particularly appalling

Older interview, but you get the idea
The whole utube page is nauseating

Their friggen sick republican values might be acceptable in frozen frikken Siberia, but no decent person in America wants anything to do with them.

I urge republicans to abandon their substandard, mutant, mean-spirited values, and to take up American values like honesty, dignity, respect, compassion and cooperation.
