After threatening to fire the entire White House communication staff if Lizza did not reveal the identity of his source, Trump&#8217;s new communications chief furiously blasted that \u201c<strong>Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>and claimed that Priebus would be asked to resign.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"quote_start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"quote_end\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWho leaked that to you?\u201d he asked. I said I couldn\u2019t give him that information. He responded by threatening to fire the entire White House communications staff. \u201cWhat I\u2019m going to do is, I will eliminate everyone in the comms team and we\u2019ll start over,\u201d he said. I laughed, not sure if he really believed that such a threat would convince a journalist to reveal a source. He continued to press me and complain about the staff he\u2019s inherited in his new job. \u201cI ask these guys not to leak anything and they can\u2019t help themselves,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re an American citizen, this is a major catastrophe for the American country. So I\u2019m asking you as an American patriot to give me a sense of who leaked it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p><strong>He reiterated that Priebus would resign soon, and he noted that he told Trump that he expected Priebus to launch a campaign against him.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cHe didn\u2019t get the hint that I was reporting directly to the President,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I said to the President here are the four or five things that he will do to me.\u201d His list of allegations included leaking the Hannity dinner and the details from his financial-disclosure form.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After this gentle gambit failed to generate the desired outcome, Scaramucci then warned that \u201cthey\u2019ll all be fired by me,\u201d he said of the White House communications staff. \u201cI fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I\u2019ll fire tomorrow. I\u2019ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus\u2014if you want to leak something\u2014he\u2019ll be asked to resign very shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The enraged Scaramucci continued chanelling Priebus: \u201c<strong>\u2018Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.\u2019 \u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, the fund manager insinuated on twitter that Trump\u2019s top aide was behind the \u201cleak\u201d of his financial disclosure forms, which subsequently it turned out were not leaked, but we public for anyone to access.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ibankcoin.com\/zeropointnow\/files\/2017\/07\/scardel.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"199\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As Lizza notes, while Scaramucci\u2019s first public appearance as communications director was a slick and conciliatory, suggesting it was time for the White House to turn a page, since then, he has become obsessed with leaks and threatened to fire staffers if he discovers that they have given unauthorized information to reporters. Michael Short, a White House press aide considered close to Priebus, resigned on Tuesday after Scaramucci publicly spoke about firing him. Meanwhile, several damaging stories about Scaramucci have appeared in the press, and he blamed Priebus for most of them.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Scaramucci also lashed out at Trump&#8217;s chief strategist Stephen Bannon in the same phone call.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m not Steve Bannon, I\u2019m not trying to suck my own cock,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0he said, speaking of Trump\u2019s chief strategist. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I\u2019m here to serve the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lizza&#8217;s assessment of the bizarre behavior: &#8220;I got the sense that Scaramucci\u2019s campaign against leakers flows from his intense loyalty to Trump. Unlike other Trump advisers, I\u2019ve never heard him say a bad word about the President. \u201c<strong>What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers and I want to get the President\u2019s agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>he told me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who has previously expressed his strong support and admiration for Scaramucci, has yet to opine.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-07-27\/scaramucci-priebus-fking-paranoid-schizophrenic-slams-cocksucker-bannon-wants-kill-l\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-07-27\/scaramucci-priebus-fking-paranoid-schizophrenic-slams-cocksucker-bannon-wants-kill-l<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=79070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79070\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=79070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
