Scaramucci vs. Priebus

[Seattle Husker]

Scaramucci and Priebus have a feud going back a long ways. Scaramucci describes his relationship with Priebus as being brothers who fight, then used the analogy of Cane and Abel. Yesterday, Politico write a story about Scaramucci and his controversial sale of Skybridge Capital to a Chinese firm for what critics claim is way over market value and the firm is currently under investigation in the EU. Scaramucci immediately ran to twitter to chastise leakers and included an @Reince45 in the tweet. Why? The logical inference is that he either thinks Reince leaked or that Priebus isn't doing enough to control the leaks. Of course, what was lost in this is that the form Scaramucci was accusing Priebus of leaking was actually a publicly available form.

Here is a good article from thehill.com that describes the infighting between Priebus and Scaramucci.

Scaramucci and Trump appear to have the same shoot from the hip quality. I'm not sure that's the best characteristic to have in the WH Director of Communications.

But the episode that triggered Scaramucci’s outburst — a media report on his financial disclosure forms — was not the result of a leak.

have any of you ever been tasked with the duty of recruiting a crew for a shrimp boat? In Louisiana?

Getting his team lined up is like training a millipede to waltz

Scaramucci wins...Priebus out as Chief of Staff. DHS Secretary John Kelly will be taking over. How soon until Bannon follows Priebus out the door. Incidentally, Priebus reportedly parted ways with the WH on the tarmac outside Air Force One today. The staff gets in the vans and Priebus speeds away in his own car.

He'll be interviewed by Sean Hannity tonight who coincidentally had dinner with Trump/Scaramucci and some Fox & Friends throw-ins on Wednesday night. It's almost as if this is the flow of the data although I'd put Trump on the outside.

The Cain and Abel reference was pretty revealing. Guess we know who was Cain in the relationship.
