Scaramucci has made his presence known, trying to conduct a russian style purge on behalf of the president , cleansing the white house of any and all leakers, disloyal to the president s agenda. Scaramucci fired a clear warning shot late today saying, what i want to do is i want to expletive kill all the leakers. And i want to get the president s agenda on track so we can succeed for the American People. His primary target, Reince Priebus. He is a paranoid schizophrenic, within the last hour. Scaramucci tweeted, i sometimes use colorful language. I will refrain in this arena but not give tim passionate fight for real Donald Trumps agenda. Thats hardly a cleanup. Separately, he accused him of leaking his Financial Disclosure forms politico which reported his net worth from his former hedge fund. Scaramucci tweeted, in lightest leak of my Financial Disclosure info, which is a felony, ill be contacting fbi and Justice Department swamp. He then referenced Reince Priebus at the end of the tweet. His reference to priebus which has now been deleted was a bazooka across the bow. He called him for deliberately leaking that report. Watch. We would like to tell everybody, who the senior leakers are in the white house. As fruyou know, the fish stinks from the head down. When i put out a tweet and i put reinces name in the tweet, theyre all making the assumption that it is him. If reince wants to explain that it is not him, let him do that. An accusation was further evidence of a stewing street brawl behind the scenes at the white house. Just last week, he tried on block the hiring of the financier. He papered over it saying they were like brothers. Well, today is a very different story. Brothers, he said, like cain and abel. If you want to talk about the chief of staff, weve had odds, we have had differences. When i said we were brothers from the podium, thats because were rough on each other. Some brothers are like cain and abel. Others can fight with each other and get along. I dont know if it is repairable or not, that will be up to the president. But hes the chief of staff. In the bible, cain murdered abel. It is unclear who survives this one. Scaramucci seems to see himself as go cain. Youre loving every moment of this. You were watching this morning, stephanie. Im going to let you lead this off. This is like the jets and the sharks. Not west wing, westside story. This guy goes trumpeting into the white house, he calls out priebus, the socalled, i must say. Ill going to get you. Youre the chief leaker. He seems to have trump behind him in this. Why again as in the case of sessions, doesnt trump push the button . Why doesnt he bring in jack polantz to do the shooting for him. This is perfect for trump. You said something earlier. He started on the job a week ago. Thats not correct. Theres an important point to make. I called the white house today. I know. I called the white house. He is not financially on the books yet. But this is what is important. Anthony scaramucci has one goal. To sell his company sky bridge capital. Theres one for the coil, a chinese could not glom raflt meaning if this deal doesnt go through, if they pass looks out below. Theres no one underneath him. Hes selling the coil for 180 million so he himself will pocket 90 million. Then if he has a job in the white house, he transfers that to treasuries, he gets the tax deferral. He needs to get Regulatory Approval for a chinese conglomerate to buy your Company Thunder jute any in this administration. That aint easy. Do you know who runs the regulator . The treasury department. Steve mnuchin. If he shows up and pleases the president , and i am speaking to people inside the white house who say white house their heads spinning. What in the world is going on . Dhung lost it . Trump. Wait a minute. Lets short end this. This is such a new york analysis. I want d. C. Political analysis. Why is this guy blowing his little bugle at priebus . Why is he doing that . You didnt tell me why. Anthony wanted a position from the getgo. And Reince Priebus didnt want him there. Be the last person to have trumps ear. And you tell me. Who do you think donald trump likes to hang out with more . Reince priebus from wisconsin in the gop or Anthony Scaramucci from new york who name drops the president of the yankees and likes the say trumps tower is magnificent. Thats the link. If hes going to make scaramucci, the mooch, the boss, the real chief of staff, why doesnt he make the move . Donald trump doesnt necessarily want to be the guy firing people. He loves to watch the drama play out. He loves that were not talking about paul manafort, jared and don junior. Guess who went to work today . Robert mueller. He was at work. Thats what is under his skin. Mueller is a special counsel. Every special counsel ends up prosecuting. They all do. Thats why trump has to fight him. It was archie cox, jaworski, will nixon, they brought in Lawrence Walsh who spent nine years going after ws father. Then whats his nail . Ken starr. He went from whitewater which was not anything to paula jones which was a lot of money about, a million dollars. Then he goes to good old Monica Lewinsky and nails the president. So they dont quit. They metastasize these guys. They grow, they grow, they grow until they find some dirt and they light up and their career is made for them and they announce in a press conference, i daughter dicaught the dirty d. They dont ever say, clean as a hounds tooth. They never do that. The president has been looking over his shoulder. The mooch provides the bright shining object. That everybody he will talk about. Meanwhile there are other things being laid. What is interesting is now the senate is upping its game. You heard today, senator mccain and others talk about do not touch. Do not touch the special prosecutor and do not touch the attorney general. The president is trying to figure out which lane will get him to his ultimate goal, to remove both those gentlemen at the end of the day. Were destroying something larger here. The white house is now a locker room. Right . You cant even put on what he said about steve bannon. Right . It was vulgar, selfimportant. These people are diminishing the white house. This behavior should not be allowed. Democrat or republican. This is not normal behavior. Lets look at this awful new yorker interview. I agree it is gross. He makes clear, hell do whatever it takes to weed out the leakers. He is threatening to fire entire communications department. This is Street Corner guy. I fired one guy other day. I have three or four people ill fire tomorrow. This is scaramucci. Ill get to the person who pleekd to you. Reince priebus, if you want to leak something, hell be asked to resign very shortly. Let me go back to stephanie. He talks like trump. He does and trump likes it. He says to ryan, i fired a guy a couple days ago. Yet he said on the record yesterday, well, we let him resign. He is saying a few different things. Then he put out a statement saying i used colorful language. I shouldnt do that and i wont going forward. Look at the tweet Anthony Scaramucci put out. Look at the responses. You have Trump Supporters in there saying, speak truth. I love the passion. Right on, man. We can say all day long this is below the white house. This is despicable, disgraceful. It doesnt seem to rile the base. It is extraordinary. Crushing. Okay. Well, he went into a vulgar tirade saying we cant even get near language he used on this. Accusing him of serving his own selfinterests. Im not trying to build my brand off the strength of the president. Look it up if you want to get closed out. It is too graphic even to put on the screen. We both know this expression about the fish rots from the top and it was all, im sorry. I remember dukakis pulled the same thing 30, 40 years ago. Apparently it is a greco and italian thing. It is clear he means Reince Priebus as the guy who stinks. This is White House Communications director who has come in to clean up the swamp. This is all happening late this afternoon. What do you think . It wasnt a fair fight. It was not a fair fight. From the very beginning the president has been undermining the authority of the chief of staff by allowing others to come directly to him. To go around the chief of staff and to posit himself as the gate keeper of his own door. And that has made it difficult for Reince Priebus to put in the kind of structure to avoid the very thing were sitting here talking about tonight. And that will be his undoing. When President Trump was trying to make a deal with comey, he told him to get out of the room. Remember that . Im sorry. Jump in. President trump is very frustrated with gop leadership. They havent fallen into line. Thats how he sees Reince Priebus. That he was put into that seat. He is an outsider to trump. And every time he sees Reince Priebus, he sees paul ryans face. He doesnt like the sight of him and anthony is doing his bidding for him. Usually around this time of night. What we all like, fwls 5 30, the news gives us something. The new york times, Washington Post, axios, somebody has good story. Somebody in the white house is feeding this stuff out. It is almost always negative toward the president. What is going on . Why are so many people in the white house, i had a report he sitting next to me. She laughed when i said has the leaking stopped . It hasnt. It is like a titanic. It leaks, it leaks. They dont have any loyalty to the president. Why are these people, and im no pal of what theyre doing there. Why would somebody take a political job at the white house and trash the guy who gave them the job . Who are they loyal to if not the person that they took job from . The president in this case . Because for many of them, they feel president isnt loyal to them. What . They should quit. They this quit. No. They havent. Theyre doing the country a service. Because a lot of what we found out comes from leakers. Look. This is not normal behavior. Working at the white house is an honor and a privilege. It is a tough job. Why do you think theyre leaking . What were saying in the white house is not normal. Theyre good guys. Yeah. They are. Well, they may or may not be. There are agendas being served here. They relate to capitol hill. As youve just said. It is one of those relationships. And there are others within the white house. A lot of these folks, particularly below the senior level come from the hill. They have worked for senators and congressmen and various think tarngs around town. So this association there to that part of washington he doesnt like is what he cant seem to control. Scaramucci, you can fire everybody in the com shot today. Trust me. There will be a leak tomorrow. They go down the hall and use their little cell phones. If you think theyre proud of that, youre cdc. The leaking that has the president upset, none of this is confidential information. So Anthony Scaramucci says ill calling the department of justice. It is not classified. Whats classified is the russians in the oval office. Your fellow workers and your boss behind the scenes. If what hes doing is hurting the country. They started this before. It is not a good crew of people. Im sorry. Have you seen the president . You are working both sides of the street. All right. Rat finks. Jeff sessions has never had so many friends in his life as he does today. People are getting behind Jeff Sessions because theyre saying, please, save the democracy. Just put that in your pipe and smoke it. It may not be scaramucci. It is somebody. It is not happening yet. Thank you form New York Point of view. A business point of view which i find difficult to absorb but i try. Im learning. The china thing. Dont get confused. You may be right. You often are. Coming up, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says there will be holy hell to pay if the president fires Jeff Sessions. That could be our big story tonight even as we speak. Plus, just this week he said he should be on mt. Rushmore. He got political on a boy scouts jamboree and now the head of the boy scouts is forced to apologize for the president. The hostility between the white house and congress is nearing an all time high. Theres another big fight brewing between two sides. Russian sanctions. Will trump to look veto the sanctionses to show putin he has his back . It looks like he will override the veto to show everyone is against him. Finally trump watch. singsong budget meeting. Sweet. If you compare last quarter. Its no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with no artificial preservatives, flavours or dyes. We showed a graphic that included a word that was inappropriate for television. Our putting it on was inadvertent and people were offended and they should be offended. Theyre super concentrated, so i get a better clean. Number one trusted. Number one awarded. Its got to be tide if you could book a flight, then add a hotel, or car, or activity in one place and save, where would you go . Expedia. Youve seen the president s criticism of you. Do you think its fair . The president is a strong leader. He is determined to move the president in the direction it needs to go to make us great again and he has had a lot of criticisms and he is steadfastly determined on get his job done. He wants all of us to do our jobs and thats what i intends to do. That was attorney general Jeff Sessions way down south. Responding to on criticism. He is in el salvador today. The Washington Post reports that trump talks privately with confidantes. He has been warned not to move to push him out because of the political and legal ramifications. Sarah Huckabee Sanders called that fake news. While the president s attack on sessions has eliscited comments from capitol hill. The Committee Chair cant consider someone any time soon. Quote, nerve d. C. Should be warned the agenda for the Judiciary Committee is set for the rest of 2017. Judges first, sub cabinet second, asecond ag no way. If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay. Anyert to go after mueller could be the beginning of the end of the Trump Presidency unless mueller did something wrong. Im working on legislation that i will introduce next week with republicans, and some democrats. I think you get all the democrats. I home i can get a good number of republican thats will say the following. A special counsel cannot be fired when they were impanelled to investigate the president or his team unless you have judicial review of the firing. Not just for trump, but for any future president. We need a check and balance here. This is not draining the swamp. What he is interjecting is turning democracy upside down. Im joined by richard blumenthal. Andy carney, and youre all joining us now. Senator blumenthal, ive been waiting for a republican to stand up, man or woman, southerner, northerner, and stand up for the constitution and our american form of government. Im beginning to see a couple of them do that. Theyre standing up against this wild narcissistic manner of this president. Ive been talking to senator graham and a number of my colleagues about exactly this topic houflt to protect the integrity and independence of the spounl. Let me say very bluntly. The president of the United States firing bob mueller would be an historic admission of guilt without a scintilla of cause. To fire a special prosecutor whose career is beyond reproach, and who has engaged in absolutely nothing challengeable, would be an historic admission of guilt. This investigation will go forward. The remarks that you heard from senator graham a clear reflection of a growing sense on both sides of the aisle that there need to be efforts to protect the integrity and independence of the department of justice, most particularly the special prosecutor. Youve been attorney general in connecticut of your state, elected a couple of times. Let me ask you about this. If youre donald trump, and if youre machiavellian, and he is, if you look at the history of special counsels, independent prosecutors going back to jaworski, before that, archibald cox, and ken starr, they always end up prosecuting, or trying to, if youre trump, arent you afraid that it will not be about russia. It will be about some issue, theyll go after his taxes, theyll look at everything hes done for 20 or 30 years or what his kids have done and find something. Doesnt trump have the political sense to try to forestall that somehow . Or is there some way you can limit the power of a special counsel . Or should you limit the sxrank scope of the special counsel . Our effort is to limit the power of the president to fire special counsel, to protect against completely arbitrary and todcapricious firing through perhaps a judicial review. Ive been in discussions about exactly what the options are. How best to do it. The point is, your point is well taken, that donald trump is unpredictable. But there are ways to prevent this kind of firing that would directly obstruct justice. It would be not only an admission of guilt. It would be an obstruction of justice to do it without any the cause whatsoever. Hold on. Tell me, what is the best reporting right now about what trump is up to, with mueller, firing sessions or pushing him out . My reporting is that he doesnt actually want to get rid of him. He wants him to know hes angry. He wants to push him to start investigations that he cares about. We see republicans from inside and on the hill defending sessions. Does he want him out or in . He is very angry with sessions. Hes been convinced, theyre calling him to calm down, cool it off, recognizing this is a political problem for him but also creating a potential im going to interrupt. He knows what they dont.
