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 Yorkers 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 Scaramuccis 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.
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.
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?
>> 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?
RP.....GOPe-stooge-in-WH is history. Trump knew he made a mistake brining onboard almost the first day.....establishment Repubs ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED..... just hasn’t happened yet!
