Scaramucci Says Split With Priebus May Not Be Reparable

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s newly appointed communications director publicly acknowledged his power struggle with the White House chief of staff and said their differences may be too wide to bridge.

Anthony Scaramucci, who joined the White House last week and reports directly to the president rather than to the chief of staff, as is customary, said in a CNN interview that he and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus have been at odds

“We have had differences. When I said we were brothers from the podium, that’s because we’re rough on each other,” he said, referring to a comment he made last week. “Some brothers are like Cain and Abel. Other brothers can fight with each other and get along.” He continued: “I don’t know if this is reparable or not, that will be up to the president.”

This is the kind of personality Trump wants. He also wants it for the AG.

All hat and no cattle. You can be a fighter without being obnoxious. Sessions is a fighter without the bravado.

I’m sure they can make up over their mutual love of banning guns.

I can.

He’s an actual man with balls and a dick, and he fights.

Just like his boss, who also became a folk hero.

Notice that Limp Wrist Reince is certainly not a folk hero.

Scaramucci was particularly incensed by a Politico report about his financial-disclosure form, which he viewed as an illegal act of retaliation by Priebus. The reporter said Thursday morning that the document was publicly available and she had obtained it from the Export-Import Bank. Scaramucci didn’t know this at the time, and he insisted to me that Priebus had leaked the document, and that the act was “a felony.”

“I’ve called the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice,” he told me.

either it is a candid photo illustrating a real split, or it is high stakes kabuki intended to distract some of the masses from more critical stuff going on somewhere else, such as real policymaking affecting real issues.

to me, the photo has a look of being deliberately staged.

hopefully something important and ultimately beneficial is going on, and in their down time, these guys are having a big guffaw over beers.

So, really all Republicans wanted was some of the guys who used to call into Bob Grant’s show on the national stage? (I’m way out of date on New York AM radio). Just be obnoxious in a particularly outer borough New York way, and we’ll love you.

Why not make Chris Mad Dog Russo White House Spokesman at this point?

It could be staged in that The Mooch whispered in the ear of the photographer to take the pic and Mooch posed for it.

The bad blood between these two is very real

For all those absolutely dying to know, Sacaramucci is 5'8", the same height as Sean Spicer.

I watched this go down in real time. It jives with what happened.

Harvard Lawyer didn’t know this wasn’t a leak and thought RP was behind it...until he got schooled on the internet.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. This guy..... That article is insane. Are you sure it's not fiction? Two thoughts come to mind: 1. This dude has no political allies and he's going after both Preibus AND Bannon. Why not call Jared a as well and hit the trifecta? 2. What in God's name did Trump say to him that gives him this type of confidence? If I'm in the Cabinet, I'm watching this spectacle and thinking, "I tied my political life to a foul-mouthed Long Island Democrat who thinks he's Johnny Sack or Paulie Walnuts?"

Btw, why pretend that the article from politico didn’t happen..or that Scaramucci didn’t go nuts last night when he thought RP leaked his docs...

or that Mooch looks to have violated McGahn’s policy on contacting DOJ

Meanwhile, no tweets from The Mooch today.

He’s rich though.

You can be short and rich and have Trump’s respect.

If you’re short and not rich, you aren’t getting anywhere.
