New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Wednesday blamed holdovers from the Obama administration for a series of damaging leaks that have rocked the White House in recent months.

Speaking on Fox News, Scaramucci said that "political holdovers" from the Obama White House "aren't helping," and hinted that more staff changes could be on the way. "Listen, we have to crack down on leaks on a number of different fronts," Scaramucci told "Fox and Friends."

So put them in a remote office location and have them make newspaper clippings.

Boy this guy is one sharp cookie....

Where does President Trump find these guys with such a high IQ?

Scares the crap out of me that they get paid 6 figures of our money to spout the obvious.

FIRE THEM FRICKIN' ALL, RIGHT NOW! What's so hard about that?

Can't do that. Then they would not be able to go on Fox and Friends and state the obvious.

They might get some real government questions that take brain power to answer.

Why is anyone in the communications department a holdover??

They know the password to the equipment.

Why do you think they chased down Awan. Not for being illegally in DC and stealing secret information but he is the only one that has admin privileges, can reset passwords and knows how to operate the coffee pot.

Get rid of them all.

Not easy, given civil service laws. But you can suspend them with pay, revoke security clearances "pending investigation", or totally exclude them on the organizational chart until many quit in anger. Those who remain would be shut out of the decision-making process.

It looks like he is definitely turning up the heat on them using other ways to make them very uncomfortable. He is looking to drive them out.

“Scares the crap out of me that they get paid 6 figures of our money to spout the obvious.”

The main point is that they do have the guts to state it, unlike many others who would be afraid, and will take appropriate action.

SO the real question is:

Why are they still “Holdovers” and not “Unemployed Assh*les”?
