Priebus Emerges As Lead Suspect In Leaks Probe

7/27/2017

Comments

 
  It appears that the Trump White House is setting up for a purge. The Scaramucci hire is just the precursor.
  In the last 24 hours, Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci posted a tweet where he suspiciously tags Priebus in connection to a leaking of personnel files which are he believes are protected by federal law.  

  It may be that the Republicans in the DC establishment have constructed a system to take down or at least paralyze this Trump Administration. The leaks are happening in defiance of federal law. Those crimes are supposed to be investigated by the Justice Dept., under AG, Jeff Sessions. Among Trump's expressed disappointments with Sessions, is the lack of findings in the leaking investigation.

  When Scaramucci appeared before the White House Press, he said that he reports directly to the president. That flies in the face of standard protocols which put Priebus as the gatekeeper of who sees the president. We may now know why this break from protocol is taking place.
  Scaramucci later elaborated..
“If Reince wants to explain that he’s not a leaker, let him do that,” Mr. Scaramucci said on CNN Thursday. “But let me tell you about myself. I’m a straight shooter and I’ll go right to the heart of the matter.”

​  Michael Yglesius of Vox.com posted the following..

This current caper kicked off Wednesday night, when Scaramucci fired off a since-deleted tweet at 10:41 that read,
“In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept. #swamp @Reince45.”

This tweet was based on a misconception. There was no leak of Scaramucci’s financial disclosures — information came from his public financial disclosure for his job at the Export-Import Bank. But it also kicked off a wild 12-hours of internal feuding that reflects the general chaos and mismanagement of the Trump White House.
The Wall Street Journal depicts a full-on power struggle.
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 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,”
Scaramucci 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.”

  Mr. Scaramucci indicated to The Wall Street Journal that he has spoken to Mr. Trump about his differences with Mr. Priebus. Asked in a text message Thursday morning when he would make his case to the president, Mr. Scaramucci responded: “I spoke to him twice today.”
  We could be seeing nothing change at all.... Or we could see a massive shake up where Priebus, Sessions, and several other underlings get exposed, fired, and 'lawyering up'.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
