So he can get a new DOJ and fire Mueller.
Fiddlesticks.

(26,060 posts)But I know I wouldn't want to work for someone who obviously will never have your back. AG is an important job - he needs a heavy hitter.

(15,557 posts)WTF? I guess 6 mos. is considered longstanding since so many others have jumped ship already (or been fired).

(47,953 posts)White House chief of staff Reince Priebus is throwing his support behind President Trump's decision to tap Anthony Scaramucci as the new White House communications director.
Priebus told The Associated Press on Friday that he and Scaramucci, a Wall Street financier and longtime Trump ally, are "very good friends" and that he supports the president's choice "100 percent."
Priebus's comments immediately followed the abrupt resignation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who left his post after Trump named Scaramucci communications director.
The New York Times first broke the news of Spicer's resignation, reporting that he told the president that hiring Scaramucci was a mistake.
