The long knives are out

Scarramucci is accusing Reince Preibus of leaking his financial records showing how he is profiting in the White House and says he'll sic the FBI on Priebus.

Hasn't that been this administration's MO all along - when negative information appears, shoot the messenger.

Why is it surprising that republicans view the government office as a big personal money pit rather than serving the people?

You know, given the general ideology that carrying a gun is always good, coupled with the general ideology that rules do not apply to Big Shots, I wonder if top appointees around Washington are packing these days. At the least, they likely have 'authorized' personal bodyguards following them around.

I expect an actual gunfight in the West Wing before all this is over.

What's funny is that what pissed of Scaramucci is the release of financial disclosures that became publicly accessible 4 days ago as a result of Scaramucci's involvement with the Ex-Im Bank. What a bunch of clowns.

So this west wing clown circus is a life and death matter of national security but Russia's hacking of our election system means nothing to these people? Wow.

The Trump administration wants to operate behind a veil of secrecy while tweeting incoherent messages to the public. A group of rank amateurs who either do not understand government protocol or prefers to disregard it out of ignorance.

Force Sessions out and get the Senate pissed off to no end. Even the Democrats in the Senate will support him now following the 'enemy of our enemy is our friend' principle.

Force Priebus out and get the GOP establishment pissed off not to mention the big $ donors. From what I read, Trump Family & Friends wants the GOP to pay for their legal defense (no surprise here) and that resource stream may very well be cut off. The donors are a lot richer than Trump and probably could care less what happens to him now.

For a while Kellyanne Conway played the part of Trump's attack dog and now looks like Mooch has slipped into her role and has already gone off the track. All this is good since it will keep this administration dysfunctional and inept.

I also have this sneaky suspicion that the Trump administration wants to get rid of GOP establishment people from their administration to ensure their veil of secrecy. Spicer was forced out, Trump is forcing Sessions to quit to eventually fire Mueller, now Mooch is going after Piiebus on a made up case of leaking.

Wonder who their next targets are. Andrew McCabe is already in Trump's sights.

Moochie gets c**k-blocked by Kelly.

"WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff." NY Times

Wow.... didn't see that coming.

What a blow to his big ego.
