Obviously, someone from within leaked it to the press, and it caught Scaramucci off guard.
If you look at the bulk of post today, the vast majority include anonymous sources. You’d think that McMasters, Tillerson are all thinking of quitting. Sessions is about to be fired and of course, Mueller is going to go too.
Why not name your source?
Perhaps because the leaker would be fired and you'd no longer be able to get leaked information from them?
The source was Mooch speaking on the record according to the original article.
“Scaramucci confirmed to POLITICO early Tuesday that he planned to start by dismissing assistant press secretary Michael Short at a morning meeting, but that move was apparently delayed.
Short, who initially said Tuesday that he hadnt yet been informed of any decision, resigned Tuesday (...)”
Or, rather I should say that he confirmed it on record. Which baffles me.
Here ya go:
