He doesn't trust Rosenstein to fire Mueller, so the only way is a new AG.

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.

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

This is getting intense. I expect next week to be wild. But I'm starting to think the weekend may be explosive.

15. Nope: Priebus after Spicer resignation says all good here at White House

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.
