Scaramucci Terminates Suspected Leaker Michael Short from White House

Suspected leaker Michael Short has been terminated from the White House communications office, Breitbart News can confirm.

Short, an ally of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and now former Press Secretary Sean Spicer—who resigned last week—was terminated on Tuesday by new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Short originally worked for the Trump campaign—placed on it by Priebus—and quit the campaign, sources tell Breitbart News, after the Access Hollywood tape came out. Politico confirmed this report, noting that Short walked out in the middle of the campaign leaving his computer behind only to show back up in January at the behest of the Republican National Committee (RNC) allies in the White House.

“He was scorned by many of his colleagues for quitting the Trump campaign, only to rejoin as a White House staffer because of Priebus,”

Multiple White House sources confirm to Breitbart News that Short was a leaker, and worked closely with now former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh—another RNC wing official who was terminated earlier this year for her own leaking.

Short has not responded to a request for comment on the questions about his leaking. But he did tell CNN he does not believe he has been fired, even though multiple White House sources confirm he has been.

Scaramucci has confirmed multiple times in interviews over the weekend that he plans to root out leakers throughout the White House.

Now, on Tuesday, he has again confirmed that he will terminate everyone if necessary to stop the leaks.

I hate to say it but I think that tweet is parody account. The guy is hilarious. Anyway, the verified account should have little check mark next to his name.

Pence was the 51st vote to move the HC bill to debate and the 51st vote to confirm Devos, don’t know what he’s doing behind the scenes.
The Swamp is the problem, not Pence nor Trump.

“The Scarlet Pimpernel” is another which would be a swashbuckler persona.

The swamp in DC is so huge they control everything and are out to get Trump before they are exposed.The Blood of our nation has been sucked out through this swamp and it may quite well take a Revolution to save us.

Truth

[caww]

GONE!.... Michael Short , a Senior assistant Press Secretary for Pres.Trump was going be fired,

but then he resigned.... he has been seen working closely

with former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh.

Walsh was terminated shortly after January

for suspected leaking of her own...

Short was close to Reince Priebus & has worked entirely

in the trenches of republican politics..

'a RNC loyalist'.....
