NOT A LEAK! Politico Reporter Reveals She Got Scaramucci's Financials Via Public Request

Source: Mediaite

Last night, White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci created a firestorm of controversy when he seemed to publicly accuse White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus of leaking his financial disclosures to Politico. That story stated that Scaramucci stands to profit from an investment firm he has an ownership stake in while working in the White House.

Well, the reporter who worked on that story took to Twitter this morning to note that she was able to obtain the comms director’s financials as they were publicly available:

When I was in law school, many years ago, I mentioned to a classmate that I grew up in Denver. He said he'd always wondered if people didn't get tired climbing up "a mile, all those steps" to get to their seats at Mile High Stadium.

The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza reports that President Trump had dinner with several Fox Newsers last night including Sean Hannity, who hosted his show from Fox’s Washington studios, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, who took a night off from The Five.

Former Fox News co-president Bill Shine who resigned in May, was also at the dinner, which also included former Fox Business host and contributor, and now White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.

Do they ever actually tell the truth, even when they know it? I'd say no, there's no one in his admin. who isn't compromised and who tells the truth. I don't even trust the security team, although they are almost 100% sidelined by Drumpf, so not as bad as all the others, who are lying, colluding criminals.
