WASHINGTON — Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House communications director, threatened on Tuesday to fire his entire staff in an effort to stem the leaking that has plagued President Trump's administration since almost the first day he took office.

"I'm going to fire everybody, that's how I'm going to do it," Scaramucci said."You're either going to stop leaking or you're going to get fired."

Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, said that in a meeting of White House communications staff, Scaramucci had promised all aides "a clean slate" and "amnesty" to prove that they are not leaking and working hard to defend the president and support his agenda.

But Scaramucci also made clear "1000 percent" prepared to fire any communications staffer he suspects of disloyalty, and said,"I've got the authority from the president to do that."

More at the link, seems to be the bulk of a WaPo article. Fire me if old.

 

[KHarvey16]

Yeah that should do the trick

 

[Guevara]

Only communications apparatus they need is Trump on Twitter.

 

[BeforeU]

Good luck with that

 

[Volimar]

Trump has finally found his soulmate.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

He can start with himself if that's the problem. He's an infamous source for journalists.

 

[Varjet]

I'd like to see that

 

[Imperfected]

So, uh... who does he fire for leaking his plan to fire people for leaking?

 

[rambis]

Lol like Spicer hasn't been trying to find leakers for months.

 

[NealMcCauley]

That's assuming the leaks are just from the comms department.

 

[Drkirby]

Go for it.

 

[Trojita]

Man made of literal slime wants to stop leaking.

Almost poetic.

 

[jimmypython]

he's gonna fire Reince Priebus too

 

[Lebron]

But who leaked that he wanted to fire everyone for leaking?

 

[metalslimer]

That's assuming the leaks are just from the comms department.

Yeah with how little people are loyal to the orange crustacean every sector of the government is probably leaking everything

 

[Amory]

These people are fucking idiots

 

[Phreaker]

How do you prove you didn't leak something? hmmm

But who leaked that he wanted to fire everyone for leaking?

Ha, good point!

 

[Gordon Shumway]

These people are fucking idiots

¡Si!

 

[kess]

The firings will continue until ratings are improved!

 

[RionaaM]

So, uh... who does he fire for leaking his plan to fire people for leaking?

Haha I was thinking the same. His plan is already failing.

 

[Trojita]

Where are all the drain the swamp and fuck wall street people on Trump's side now? This guy literally embodies Wallstreet and hedgefunds.

 

[Imperfected]

Also, does this mean he's going to fire everyone in retaliation for Trump leaking the existence of the CIA program arming Syrian rebels?

 

[plagiarize]

Yelling at people and threatening to fire everyone doesn't stop leaks. I mean, not traditionally anyways.

 

[NullPointer]

The beatings shall continue until morale improves.



I wonder how long it will take them to realize that if they fired all the leakers there's be nobody left.

Yelling at people and threatening to fire everyone doesn't stop leaks. I mean, not traditionally anyways.

Oh certainly not. In fact, for anyone still in the military, let me tell you a secret:

Whenever you say "snitches get stitches" approximately five people go to IG.

Full transparency.

Funny to see @Scaramucci railing against leaks. He was perhaps THE go-to for reporters seeking info from inside the Romney & Bush campaigns.

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel 1d
.@JebBush's team thought @Scaramucci was so inclined to leak to media that they kept him off some donor conference calls, per @EliStokols.

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel 1d
.@Scaramucci also revealed time/location of @AmericanXRoads fundraiser to @sheelahk, who attended & wrote a damaging expose on @KarlRove.

 

[Annubis]

The Trump administration sounds more and more like Azula in Avatar:TLA when she goes crazy and exiles everyone.

Hah..nice.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Man I've had a few bad bosses in my day, could you imagine working for this fucking guy?

 

[Neuromancer]

My favorite part:

An unofficial list of Priebus loyalists has been circulating among Scaramucci allies as those most likely to lose their jobs or be reassigned to somewhere else in the administration.

 

[cress2000]

I can't tell if this guy's really just a sycophant or if he's trying to bring this admin down by playing both sides.

 

[Fergie]

He's fitting in well.

[MetroidPrimeRib]

This is like a Looney Tunes cartoon where they are trying to plug up leaks with their body and running out of parts to use

Was going to post this gif

 

[MrSaturn99]

Hoo boy!

Good luck with that.

The Mooch being in the news makes me happy. Means we'll get more of Colbert making fun of him on the Tonight Show.
