presidential inauguration. at this crucial mile marker it s important to stare into the mirror of who we really are as a country. two years after lies and conspiracies about trump s big loss led to, quote, medieval combat on the steps of the u.s. capitol between law enforcement and trump supporters. those very same lies that inspired that attack two years ago are now deeply embedded in the politics of the gop. they are the single animating principle behind everything that happens in one of the country s two major political parties. it is in large part due to the fact that the man who, quote, summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame in the attack as january 6th select committee member liz cheney put it that would be twice impeached president trump himself as well as his top lieutenants remain the dominant force in the gop. and they insist on continuing to gaslight americans on what actually happened on january 6th to this day, to this hour on this day. just yeste
He tweeted basically he was going to go after the leakers. He was very angry because some of his own financial records had been disclosed. He said in light of the leak of my Financial Disclosure info, which is a felony, i will be contacting the fbi, the Justice Department, swamp. Reince 45, thats Reince Priebuss twitter address. Seems as though he was implicating reince as the leaker who possibly put out his financial forms and he deleted the tweet and wrote meantime, he was also on cnn, to get the viewer fully up to speed, saying reince would have to answer for these leaks to the president himself. What do you make of all this . Right now, ed, is he trying to basically get rid of the chief of staff . First of all, ive worked in three white houses. Ive worked around washington for 50 years. I cant imagine anyone doing this, my first boss, Bob Halderman or jim baker or don rumsfeld, they would have had his butt out of there in 35 seconds. Hes supposed to be developing a Communications P
Communication, would you like to be my Communications Director . To which scaramucci cap said sure, why not, and steve bannon and Reince Priebus were all voicing some questions about it, after scaramucci returned it to the white house for what would be a final meeting wasnt happy with what was going on and decided that he had better leave the Playing Field for the president to bring in his new team, so sean spicer decided that he was going to vacate the president , now to this relationship with priebus, there was some tension earlier this year, shall we say, and scaramucci looks like he was up for a big job at the white house, and he was blocked out of that, even after he had sold his hedge fund, skybridge capital, but today, scaramucci play down any rift between the two men. Listen here. There has been some speculation in the press about me and reince, we have an personal friends for about six years, we are a little bit like brothers where we roughed each other up once in a while, whi
Priebus days have been numbered and they have been numbered to 1. You have general john kelly, the secretary of Homeland Security and will leave that post at dhs and will take on perhaps a more tumultuous job at the moment, chief of staff at the white house, trying to steer the white house in a way that the president wants.
