Scaramucci Attacks Media for Reporting on News That He Leaked
BY: Alex Griswold July 25, 2017 12:27 pm
White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci slammed the media for reporting on a leaked firing, despite the fact he was the one who leaked it in the first place.
Scaramucci was asked by reporters on the White House driveway Tuesday about the reported firing of assistant press secretary Michael Short, the Hill reported.
"This is the problem with the leaking," Scaramucci said. "This is actually a terrible thing."
"Let's say I'm firing Michael Short today," he continued. "The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic."
But Scaramucci's complaint was an odd one. The news of Short's firing was first reported by Politico, which cited Scaramucci himself as its source.
"Newly appointed White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said on Tuesday that he plans to dismiss assistant press secretary Michael Short," read the piece's lede.

He is calling trumps bluff. Its either fire him..or work with him..and sessions isnt caving to the bullying.
I hope trump smartens up on this..but most people here want him fired
Sometimes you need to bring the best out of someone. I think Trump realizes Sessions is a good man, but that he’s weak. Trump has big shoulders. Sessions put him in a defenseless position. Not good. The Clinton’s should be in the news daily.
You have kept a close eye on trump..so you know how he decided to give clintons a pass..she suffered enough..etc
That was months ago, the situation has changed. That’s how six dimensional chess is played. /sarc
Or, rather I should say that he confirmed it on record. Which baffles me.
Scaramucci said sessions was right to recuse himself..uh.before this job. Hasnt deleted the tweet yet
My guest is that the leaker is Pribus. Too close to swamp critter Ryan. Pro us has to go too.
Why didn’t he deny it then?How do you know he didn't? Were you there? Or because your reliable source of anti-Trump bile didn't say so?
I agree. Had this been Bush, the Sessions support here would have been strong. Since its Trump, send the guy packing.
Trump is doing his best to turn support against Sessions so it makes terminating him less risky.
If there is a Clinton investigation underway, I don’t think ethically Sessions can say much.
Either way, what a way to treat a fiend.
I don’t think that will go unnoticed.
Except they didn't quote an "anonymous source," they quoted Scaramucci directly. "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." Link
On the record, straight from the horse's mouth. The Mooch has to remember who he talks to and what about.
Fine by me. This guy has been the shakeup needed for the white house. I am loving every minute of his time so far. He doesn’t screw around. He will have a tight running communications office in no time.
Politico claims that he told them — Politico claims a lot of things, some of which are actually true. Has he confirmed that he told them?
I love his style too!
to the believers, I’m not so sure.
No one seems to realize that as a gentile in a Jewish world Trump has survived the bare-knuckled brawling that typifies the New York City construction scene. It is one of the most daunting fields of endeavor in the world and only Jews, the Mafia and Trump have been successful at it. The result is a Trump carapace two feet thick. You think you can get to Trump? Your aim had better be good because he fires bullets back.
You’re a poet;
But you didn’t know it.
But your feet knew it;
Cause they’re longfellows.
LOL - my father used to say that. :)
People don’t realize how scared Trump is of the Deep State right now. People don’t realize that these people are going to take Trump out and will even try to imprison him and his family. We are acting stupidly in underestimating what he’s facing and not raising hell about it. We need to organize a march on Washington DC.
