I have no doubt that 45 will sell out his own son when this pressure cooker heats up.

Like Conway, another well educated person with no obvious principles or integrity.

Scaramucci started deleting old Twitter posts that were critical of Trump. (Remember he called him a "hack".)

Scaramucci is practising actions of the "Ministry of Truth" in wiping out all evidence of previous actions. And if it isn't on Twitter any more, it never existed in the first place.

I don't know enough about the web, cached pages, backups, etc, but I wonder if some clever white hat hacker could unearth and publish all those deleted tweets for posterity.

Read Anthony Scaramucci’s old tweets. You’ll understand why he deleted them.
By Kristine Phillips July 23 at 10:42 AM

New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci hasn't always shared the political views of the administration he now serves.

But shortly after taking on the new job, the Wall Street financier announced that he's deleting old tweets, some of which praised Hillary Clinton and showed that he's at odds with his new boss on issues such as gun control, climate change, Islam and illegal immigration. Scaramucci said Saturday that his previous social media posts shouldn't distract from his new job.

In an interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” Scaramucci said his politics and ideals “don't matter at all” and that he's “subordinating” them to President Trump's agenda. And in a heated exchange with CNN's Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” Scaramucci dismissed accusations that he's willing to suppress his ideals for the sake of power.

“That's a ridiculous Washington sort of narrative. Number 1, it's totally untrue. Number 2, all I'm doing by deleting tweets is sending people a message ... Let me tell you one of the things I really hate about Washington. We have this political purity test on policy. So if I'm for something and then I'm against something, then, all of a sudden, I'm a hypocrite,” Scaramucci said, adding that leaders like Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan changed their political views and switched parties.

...that he's going to let sleeping dogs lie? Eltrumpf revels in sweet-evil revenge, and people who grovel at his feet. Elpresidente demands loyalty and he going to forget those slights, tweets, your support for Clinton,? Aye, que stupido! This guy or his lackies query all-incoming applicants wiith a fine tooth comb, not for criminal activity, not for russian spies (now that would be a hiring qualifier) not for tax embezzlement, evasion BUT for one minute negative remark about his highness, and for some reason, you think you're exempt? Silly you, you''ve being served up on a golden platter, and not a minute to late..say what time is his next feeding frenzy?

You, stated this moring on ABC that trumpf has thick skin, he can take anything, oh my God, have you been under a rock since the election? You're kidding right? Any thinner skinned and wiith his full blown gasfarts between his nalgas, he'd be floating high in the sky like a big huge ginormous orange balloon... and, oh how he loves balloons, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them, just loves them bigly--can't figure how they float though...keeps him up at night, thinking about it kind of thing-- aye otro stupido! Helium ! Nutcrackertrumpf...it's helium, .H.E.L....I.. UM. ....hell! Sure other gases are used....geez forget it, just to complicated or not. Please someone save us from this locura....

Good luck wiith your 6month stint, hope it was worth selling your alma to eldiablorumpf and his very spooky-devilishlooking-cabal; ...yet gotta say, you are one clever guy, you and only you has ever conned the king of all cons, donthecon into hiring you...well done! You know that I'm being facetious. Right?

If I may, a few tips that may extend your tenure: do not appear smarter than eltrumpf (observe and learn from Sanders, she's got it down, doesn't seem like she's even trying--she's got trumpf fooled,) your tailored suits are nice, yet too spiffy (recall frumpy spicer, almost look like he got out of bed went straight to press room,) however using that about to cry expression, oh poor me I'm working for traitor lying trumpf, it's not me it's him spicer look-- that's how you lose the job, not by being frumpy, by apprearing as if it's a chore being trumpf's lap dog; and then, I'm a Harvard law school alum thing is not going to work because you need to prop-up the know-nothing idiot--not boast about yourself...jeez haven't you learned anything...your fly by the pants flippant con and fake loyalty approach may work for eltrump but we're on to you kiddo. Psssst.... he's on to you too, you've been served up bigly! There's one other thing ...never mind, don't want to be crass.

Also watch and observe missy sweater-and-pearls, selfrighteousChristian, make Amerikkkclan-white-again Sanders, she's learned to downplay herself, kind of makes her self invisible inconsequential, unimportant, however she's frumpy and boring and has served his highness' purpose. She'a lucky that she's frumpy ( like the rest of us ) so he [eltrumpf] won't be grabbing her purse EVER. Ever wonder what favor eltrumpf owed daddyohuckkkabee--must have been bigley, cuz you know she's just your average looking size 16 American woman (not bashing looks and weight, mind you, there's millions like us out there) besides she's not his cup of peepe oops tea...but she'll be gone soon say..next friday, around say... 4 pm or 5 pm eastern time, so it'll be just you out there, spinning lies and fake news, yet remember he's watching your every move.

Then my dear, because you can't con mrbiglycon himself cuz you've just been set you up to be bamboozled bigleague, (recall Romney's expression going into meeting re possible Secretary of State position, he was sooo.elated, then the look his face coming out, kinda deer in the headlights kinda look, almost felt sorry for the guy, operative word almost!) Your his entertainment now, that is, until he tires of you AND since you do have those tweets out there in the universe about mruniverse aye... it''ll be double entertainment for him, watching you lambe (Spanish slang for lickass) his ass ---just to keep a job.

Hypocrisy solves the republicans' problems of no morals, no ethics, and no honesty all in one fell swoop.
