Scaramucci: If Reince wants to explain that hes not a leaker, let him do that

Source: The Hill

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said early Thursday that if chief of staff Reince Priebus wants to explain he isn't a leaker, he can do that.

During an interview on CNN's "New Day," Scaramucci said he doesn't like "the activity that's going on in the White House."

"I don't like what they're doing to my friends. I don't like what they're doing to the president of the United States or their fellow colleagues in the West Wing," he said.

Scaramucci also said he has had differences with Priebus. "He's the chief of staff," he said. "He's responsible for understanding and recovering and helping me do that inside the White House, which is why I put that tweet out last night."

Preibus represents the only remaining bulwark of the old-GOP DC power structure that doesn't want the White House to become a cabal of NYC Con Men.

His appointment to CoS was quid pro quo for the Party allowing Trump the nomination.

Without him, it's a straight slide into a Mob-run White House.

(LBJ is said to have wanted to accuse an opponent of screwing pigs).

This is the alt-right, Breitbart crazies trying to kick out the people with links to the 'normal' Republican party - Spicer, Sessions, Priebus. They want true believers who only have "loyalty" to Trump.

and everyone associated has to lawyer up (pay big bucks out of pocket), we should see many more find the exits like Spicer.

They're all gutless cowards - or sociopaths (Mooch and Con Way) - just like the Liar-in-Chief.

"White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Thursday morning appeared to escalate tensions with chief of staff Reince Priebus, even referencing Cain and Abel when talking about their rocky relationship.

“If you want to talk about the chief of staff, we have had odds. We have had differences. When I said we were brothers from the podium, that's because we're rough on each other. Some brothers are like Cain and Abel. Other brothers can fight with each other and get along,” Scaramucci said Thursday during a phone interview on CNN’s “New Day.” “I don't know if this is reparable or not, that will be up to the president.”

In the Book of Genesis, Cain killed Abel.

Priebus – along with other senior White House aides – had previously tried to block Scaramucci from getting a West Wing job. Last week, once it became clear that Scaramucci would be getting the communications director role and that he would report directly to President Donald Trump, White House press secretary Sean Spicer – an ally of Priebus -- resigned.

There is Nothing that this crew of misfits won't say or do to undermine each other. Pissing out territory and tripping over themselves at every move.

There are schoolyard bullies running the White House. Pathetic.

Mooch wants Rinse Penis to indict himself. But at the end of the day "the leaker problems"
are just a way to try to change the subject from Russia/Trump/Republicans rigging our elections.

Pretty sure McConnell is trumps favorite leaker. Can they get rid of him?

Just started watching sillicon valley. First season finale, one guy does this exact thing to another guy. While surrounded by reporters he tells this other guy he shouldn't dignify the rumors by denying them. Reporters say what rumors?

Question is, is bannon controlling scaramucci? we know reincewind and bannon hate each other. Or is scaramucci angling for the job?

Was when Scar said that he respected the press for not naming their sources, but since everyone in the media interpreted his (Scar's) tweet as accusing Priebus, that indicated that Priebus was the leaker the press was protecting. WTF?
