Were I Reince Priebus, I'd quit that thankless, beleaguered job of WH chief of staff, hie straightaway to a personal-injury lawyer, and then shop for an island in the Caribbean.
From CNN:
Anthony Scaramucci … called into CNN's "New Day" on Thursday and all but blamed chief of
staff Reince Priebus for leaking information in a more then 30-minute-long interview…. "If Reince wants to explain he's not a leaker, let him do that," [said Scaramucci].
After Politico published a story about how the he continues to profit from the sale of his hedge fund SkyBridge Capital, Scaramucci slammed the leak of his Office of Government Ethics forms. "In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept," he tweeted Wednesday night, adding, "#swamp @Reince45."
The inclusion of Reince in the tweet was seen by some as an accusation. The financial disclosure forms, however, are publicly available, notes the Politico report.
In recklessly disregarding the truth and knowingly slandering Priebus as a felon, Scaramucci — whose net worth is somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million — opened himself to a defamation of character suit.
Did he not?
