Scaramucci Goes After White House Leaks Again: ‘Fish Stinks From the Head Down’
Mediaite ^ | July 27, 2017 | Ken Meyer

Posted on 07/27/2017 6:14:37 AM PDT by be-baw

White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci called into CNN New Day on Thursday, which led to a wild, 30 minute marathon of a conversation between himself and Chris Cuomo.

The segment began when network contributor Ryan Lizza called in to discuss how Scaramucci deleted a tweet where he appeared to accuse White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus of being a leaker. Lizza was discussing his reporting about how Scaramucci wants the FBI to investigate Priebus, but Cuomo interrupted him in order to take a call from Scaramucci live.

Scaramucci began by monologuing about how he and President Trump have figured out who has been leaking information from the White House, and their legal teams are taking steps against them. As Scaramucci railed against “reprehensible,” “treasonous” actions of leakers, he also complained about the public disclosure process by which his financial forms became available to the press.

Looks like Priebus may be in it deep do-do. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be true.

Scaramucci was on TV recently describing how leakers think they're smart by providing information to underlings and having them leak it. He says he's onto it.

Conway was on F & F this morning, he she refused to answer questions about whether or not Priebus is being considered as a leaker.

Actually the first use of this old European proverb was by Mikey Open-Tank-Hatch-Bobblehead Dukaikis in the Campaign of ‘88 with his old Greek proverb “The fish rots from the head.” Coupled with Kitty busted drinking cleaning fluid and Mikey’s loyal servant Willie Horton, that was one of the most entertaining national elections since Tommy Eagleton thrilled the electorate in ‘72.

I wouldn’t be surprised either.
Why did Trump keep these deep state RNC people?
He should have surrounded himself with his own people—sure there would be a learning curve, but nothing compared to whats going on.
Republicans are as big a problem as democraps here, and they need purged in the primaries!

Because he knew the only way of advancing his agenda quickly was to work with the current member of Congress and his accepting of establishment people was his tact to show he could do it and also to prove if necessary just how scurrilous these swamp creatures really are.

So now that he has achieved both, now it is time to take those results and turn the ship upside down. It is looking more and more realistic the Black Sunday rumor may have legs like Jessie Owens.

You’d think that after 6+ months the FBI, Secret Service or whomever would’ve tracked down the leakers. This is not only an issue for The President, but a national security issue. This makes the FBI look like a bunch of keystone cops. Of course at least as long as Comey was there, they were part of the problem.

“Why did Trump keep these deep state RNC people?”

Probably because they swore fealty and, as a political novice, felt he needed some experienced support.

Recently WikiLeaks released information to the effect that Jeb Bush, John McCain, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and others got money from the Clintons in return for attacking Trump. We KNOW McCain got money from George Soros.

We have seen how Congress is unwilling to deliver on an Obamacare repeal, which they promised and which they have the majority seats to do so.

Not only does Trump need to clean house, the Republican electorate needs to help him by totally cleaning house and primarying out ALL incumbent Republican Congressmen NO
EXCEPTION.

They are playing games. They don’t want to implement the agenda that elected Trump. It would damage lucrative campaign “contributions”. hey decided in advance how they wanted this to play out and which congressmen HAD to vote for repeal and which could be allowed to vote against it.

They are all snakes - every one of them. Cottonmpouths in the swamp.

Priebus has always been no good. Why the republican voters did not stop contributions and raise hell with the RNC years ago about him I don’t know.

“I think he will be a disaster as chief of staff.”

Picking disasters seems to be the norm in this administration. Trump seems to favor loyalty over ability. That’s a CEO thing.

I think Trump is brilliant! Let's say that Trump didn't bring Priebus on board. He would still be at the RNC, working with the RINO never-Trumpers from that office and its resources. Able to fund, or not fund, races for the replacement positions vacated by people moving to the Trump administration (like Sessions.)

Instead, Priebus is out at the RNC, and he could now soon be out at the White House, thus fully neutralized.

Dissolve both the DNC and RNC. They are criminal enterprises.

I understand Trump needed to hit the ground running, which meant help from inside the RNC—but Chief of Staff? Priebus was/is a consummate swamp dweller. Trump should made him an advisor or such.
It was a juggling act as I see it. Trump the outsider, needed inside people, but I wish he would have clean house “somewhat” to let many know he wasn’t messin” around. As it is the nevertrumpers are close to the president and are damaging him, and his agenda, at will.
