Scaramucci is hired to be communications director and the first thing he does is call his pal Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker, not a friendly publication, and start dumping dirt on other people in the administration. A recording of which gets leaked to the press.

We don't really know anything for sure, except that Scaramucci talked out of turn to the press and the press rolled him. The real question is, was his promotion to communications director a setup from the beginning? Did they know he was a leaker? Did they just use him to get rid of Priebus? Interesting to note that Lieutenant Bannon is still on the payroll, which could be General Kelly's idea of military courtesy or it could indicate that Bannon, who shared an office with Priebus in the Whitehouse was in on the deal.

Key things to note going forward are where Scaramucci and Priebus land and whether Bannon or others leave.
