White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci took to Twitter late Wednesday evening to complain about the leaking of his financial disclosures to Politico for a story about his earnings at an investment firm he has an ownership stake in. In that tweet, he seemed to implicate White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus in the leak.

In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept #swamp @Reince45

Obviously, there was a lot of speculation right away that Scaramucci was directly accusing Priebus. Well, that speculation is now over, per The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza:

In case there's any ambiguity in his tweet I can confirm that Scaramucci wants the FBI to investigate Reince for leaking

The Department of Justice released a statement after Scaramucci’s appearance on Fox News’ Hannity where he complained about leaks:

>> Priebus didn’t leak anything <<

Doesn’t matter. Any excuse to bash him will do.

[Hawthorn]

>> What purpose does weeks of this drama serve? <<

Bread and circuses for the yahoos in flyover country. Sorta like episodes of The Apprentice.

I used the to watch Scaramucci on Fox Business, and he was on a lot, and he was pro-Trump from the get-go!

LOL. I wonder if this will become as cliche as Kasich's dad being a mailman.

-- Next car crash mooch has to fix is mcgahn memo that indicates mooch is in violation of it for contacting his fbi buddies trying to stab RP from the front. --

Nah. He's allowed to report what he thinks might be a new federal crime. McGahn memo doesn't forbid that.

>> Lewandowski needs a spot too <<

Next SCOTUS vacancy? He may not be a lawyer, but the Constitution doesn’t require that a Justice be a lawyer.

And if Tony the Scar moves up to Chief of Staff, that would leave the communications post open. Maybe Roger Stone would be willing to take it?

[Hawthorn]

>> Sacramucci is everything that Bannon hates most in the world <<

The word on the street around DC is that Bannon opposed Tony’s appointment just as strongly as did Rinse. But probably for entirely different reasons.

WTF is up with this Scaramucci guy?
