I don’t know either, but I would like to see far less of it, at least being done in public. There are numerous Cabinet positions yet to be filled, but who would want to work in such a hostile, backstabbing environment? Who voluntarily jumps into a Snake Pit? Oh, there will be some who do, but there are likely many who would refuse, seeing how the present team is being treated.

Scaramuch’ is still mortal, and can be brought down too, like a wounded gazelle surrounded by hyenas. His financial history is somewhat storied, somewhat murky. Certain parties may try to turn up the heat around the New Man. Make him want to leave the kitchen before it all gets too damn hot.

There has got to be a huge amount of resentment toward Scaramuch for being a newcomer who is already starting problems. Someone is going to try to turn the tables.

Exactly, the best and brightest do not want to work in such an atmosphere if they are going to constantly have to watch their backs. We're six months into this administration, but this kind of crap can just about reset the clock back to the first day.

"There has got to be a huge amount of resentment toward Scaramuch for being a newcomer who is already starting problems. Someone is going to try to turn the tables."

That, and he said a lot of negative things about Trump in the recent past.

Scaramucci has been there a week and has knifed “Senate Institution” Sessions and the guy who ran the RNC while the Repub Senators truly got all their power.

I just can’t imagine that people aren’t going to be throwing body blows back at him very very quickly.

I mean, he has Trump as an ally and that means nearly everything. But that’s all he has.
