Scaramucci's First Firing At The White House

New White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has threatened to purge staffers for leaking, and as reported by Politico's Tara Palmeri, the first to go will be assistant press secretary Michael Short, who is close to Sean Spicer and Reince Priebus.

The decision reportedly comes along with an offer of "amnesty" for other staffers, but on Short, Scaramucci told Politico the order came from above his pay grade. He reports directly to President Trump.

Scaramucci's quote to Politico: "I'm committed to taking the comms shop down to Sarah [Huckabee Sanders] and me, if I can't get the leaks to stop."

Jan 20 to July 25 is “Decisive swift” ?

I’d hate to see indecisive and slow.

Not a bad idea.

Now we’re talking... Trump has to drain his own sewer first before going after DC’s.

Another nevertrumper heard from.

An endangered species, thankfully. :)

...on Short, Scaramucci told Politico the order came from above his pay grade.

If that telling is true, which I would like to doubt, it was gutless. What would make it particularly gutless is that most know there is only one person with a higher pay grade.

But making Scaramucci appear gutless is perhaps Politico's game plan.

Dude, that’s only 6 months.

That isnt that long of a time. Some jobs take years to get rid of screw-ups.

In Washington terms, that’s a speedboat.

Comes right from the enemedia : "Personalize the attack"
The enemedia are picking off Trump's people one at a time !
and the attacks are already starting, Scaramucci's first day on the job.

IOW, they are still in the WH to leak more fake news.

How about firing them and have them escorted off the premises for good.

He held out the olive branch to Ryan & McConnell, via Priebus. And via Spicer to Priebus.

He gave them their opportunity to get on board the Trump Train, hence the months long sojourn.

They didn't, and now it looks like the train is headed off in another direction.

I guess we'll see.

I wonder how they caught Short. “Fired!” won’t look good on his job resume!

Fire them all. Why are we still putting up with Obama loyalist holdovers?

“I’d hate to see indecisive and slow.”

Take a long look in the mirror. Get on board the Trump Train, or take a hike.

Like all the Wall St crybabies demanding the day after the Inauguration that the President give them tax cuts immediately. This, when 95% of them supported Hillary with their big bucks. He owes them NOTHING.
