Scaramucci Says He Fears John Kelly Will Thwart SkyBridge Sale

Source: Bloomberg News

Former Donald Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci tore into White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, accusing him of blocking his access to the president at the White House and Davos and driving away Trump’s most-important advisers at a critical moment when the White House is in chaos.

"Does the president want to lose everyone because of General Jackass?" Scaramucci said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg News.

Scaramucci says he now fears Kelly will thwart his bid to sell his stake in SkyBridge Capital to China’s HNA Group Co. The sale has been stuck at the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which reviews foreign acquisitions of domestic businesses for security risks.

"Let’s see what he says about that,” Scaramucci said. “That’ll be the next food fight. ‘Say, his company is before CFIUS right now. Are you going to block that deal?’”

This guy is as truthful as Stalin and just as devious. He is a typical Repukian. He acts like he belongs to the mafia. Typical trash that make up Trumps comrades. Every damn one of them is filthy lying batch a bitches and bastards. He was canned by Kelly and is trying to suck up to Trump with his constant string of accolades for that despicable piece of garbage. I hope that the scumbag dies in two-bit whore house.

While I think the Mooch is a slime ball I agree with his name for Kelly. He has besmirched every officer in the armed forces with his lying and slandering of Rep Wilson. His commission, pay and benefits should be stripped due to conduct unbecoming of an officer.

That's a smart move. By enlisting, he was able to make his best deal with the military, just like any person applying for a job. If he was drafted, he'd probably be an infantry member with a life expectancy of about 15 seconds. After all, he could have sought deferment like his present boss but he served and served well. It's his current behavior that makes me embarrassed to be associated with this General Jack Ass as veterans of our armed forces.
