Scaramucci Terminates Suspected Leaker Michael Short from White House

Scaramucci Terminates Suspected Leaker Michael Short from White House
Breitbart, Jul 25, 2017

Suspected leaker Michael Short has been terminated from the White House communications office, Breitbart News can confirm.

Short, an ally of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and now former Press Secretary Sean Spicer—who resigned last week—was terminated on Tuesday by new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Short originally worked for the Trump campaign—placed on it by Priebus—and quit the campaign, sources tell Breitbart News, after the Access Hollywood tape came out. Politico confirmed this report, noting that Short walked out in the middle of the campaign leaving his computer behind only to show back up in January at the behest of the Republican National Committee (RNC) allies in the White House.

“He was scorned by many of his colleagues for quitting the Trump campaign, only to rejoin as a White House staffer because of Priebus,”

Multiple White House sources confirm to Breitbart News that Short was a leaker, and worked closely with now former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh—another RNC wing official who was terminated earlier this year for her own leaking.

Short has not responded to a request for comment on the questions about his leaking. But he did tell CNN he does not believe he has been fired, even though multiple White House sources confirm he has been.

Whoever the leak is, they need to find and deal with it now.

Looks like Priebus will have to leak information on his own now.

I saw this guy's face on Maria Bartiromo on FBN this morning.  He sure got on TV pretty fast after the sacking.

Multiple unnamed "White House sources confirmed to Breitbart".... oh, that's just too rich.

Leaks are baaaaad... except when they are designed to help The Orangenius.

Guess they got the wrong person.  Which means he might have a justifiable reason for a lawsuit.

Depends on the wording of the termination letter but probably not.  All of those positions are at the will of the people over them.   

They need to stop the leaks, period.   Preferably with someone going to jail.   Detailed transcripts of the Presidents phone calls with foreign leaders have been leaked.  Thats not something to joke about.

Who says they got the wrong person?  As far as a lawsuit?  Doubt it highly.

Aren't we supposed to automatically declare anything from 'unnamed Sources' to be FAKE NEWS?

I guess only when it's critical of Trump?

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching.

That's precisely what made me chuckle.

It's bad enough that America suffers from a fake Leftist media. The Right's answer shouldn't be to create one of its own.

Not having to name sources is one of the purely American things that has given us freedom of the press.

Mooch: Snitch, Get Out The Way!

http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/25/mooch-snitch-get-out-the-way/

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci is dead set on ridding 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. of leakers, even if that means he has to “fire everybody.”

The newly-minted White House aide joins an administration plagued by leaks. He told The Washington Post Tuesday, “I’m going to fire everybody, that’s how I’m going to do it. You’re either going to stop leaking or you’re going to get fired.”

Politico and Breitbart both reported that Scaramucci had already dismissed assistant press secretary Michael Short as part of the move against leakers. Short is an ally of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus from his days at the Republican National Committee. Short told CNN after the news broke, “No one has told me anything and the entire premise is false.”

Oh, I have no problem with using confidential sources. None at all.

I do have a problem with news organizations that make stuff up and attribute it to "unnamed sources".
