Breaking: Anthony Scaramucci OUT As Comms Director

NY Times, NBC News, And ABC News are all reporting that President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director. Apparently, he will be returning to the export/import bank.  John Roberts is reporting that the move was made at the request of the new Chief Of Staff, General John Kelly who wanted to “clear the deck.”

Mr. Scaramucci’s abrupt removal came just 10 days after the wealthy New York financier was brought on to the West Wing staff, a move that convulsed an already chaotic White House and led to the departures of Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, and Reince Priebus, the president’s first chief of staff.

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

This is a positive step for the Administration as it means everyone on the White House staff will report to General Kelly as it should.  Makes one wonder now that Scaramucci is gone, will the president ask Sean Spicer to stay as Comms director.
