I know almost nothing about Scaramucci

[La Lioness Priyanka]

what do you know and want to share about him?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I don't either, but if SCROTUS appointed him,

he's certain to be a toxic combination of corrupt, stupid and/or crazy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

including some really harsh words about putin and russia

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. Oh man

The hits just keep on coming

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. He is a POS who was a Harvard Law pal of PBO and now works for a man who vilified him.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. ahh that explains his fundraising for PBO

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. PBO was very good for Wall Street and all of us.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. he only fundraised in 2008, he worked for mitt in 2012

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Because PBO chastised Wall Street for its excesses and hurt his feelings.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. such a snowflake

[stevenleser]

9. He knows how to present his position in a calm and friendly manner and he's not an idiot.

He is like-able. So I am guessing he is going to be much more effective than Spicer or Huckabee-Sanders.

Of course the one wildcard in my eval is that it is possible that someone who seems that way in certain situations may not deal well with the White House Press corps pressing them. I dont think that will be the case with Scaramucci.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. thanks. that is what i meant. info that is not google-able easily

[stevenleser]

26. Yep, I've gone up against him in debates 2-3 times and spoke to him at length in the green room

before and after. He is an extremely friendly and like-able guy who doesn't seem to get flustered easily.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. unrelated, but i hope you can make it to my birthday happy hour

[stevenleser]

32. I've blocked off my calendar and will be there!!!! nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. YAY!!! I think betty ellen will be there too

[stevenleser]

34. This is what I am talking about. Look how he handled this

This is not Spicer or Huckabee-Sanders thats for sure.

[mchill]

13. Interacting with Stephanie Rhule

First minute (sorry for the source).

Nicolle Wallace says Trump wants someone better looking delivering the message (re: Sean Spicer). Sacrum is a Hannity guy - often seen on Fox News.

[mulsh]

14. HE makes my skin crawl, his patter screams con man to me. My first thought when I saw him on TV

was if I were in a business meeting with him I'd be polite but quickly leave the room and avoid anything involving money with that guy.

It might be his Long Island accent. from his wiki listing it appears he managed to go to "good schools" and have what some consider an "impressive career" I'm just going on my previous ignorance and gut reaction to him.

So I guess he's a perfect replacement for Spicer

[underpants]

22. Had the same impression. This article calls him a "Wall Street personality"

Whatever that is

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9354367

[Bleacher Creature]

17. He's a hedge fund guy who claims to have supported Obama in 2008.

He then turned on Obama and the Democrats in 2012 and 2016 because they said mean things about Wall Street and hurt his little feelings.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. these wealthy white guys are the OG snowflakes

[Raster]

20. I see a little silhouetto of a man: Scaramucci, Scaramucci...

... will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro magnifico...

[nolabear]

24. I've had that going round in my head too.

[janx]

25. OMG

You're right!

[BannonsLiver]

27. I look forward to watching him get chewed up and spit out.

Just like Spicey.

[Johnny2X2X]

28. Russia

Guy manages $Billions in Russian crime family money.

This is insane!!! Every single person they bring in has deep ties and obligations to Russia.

[superpatriotman]

29. Never built anything or done a hard day's work in his life

Another miserable money-pushing, sue-happy rich asshole.

[Generic Brad]

31. He can do the Fandango

[wishstar]

35. Back in January, Business Insider article said 2 Senators wanted him investigated over Russia

http://www.businessinsider.com/senators-seek-investigation-of-scaramucci-russia-meeting-2017-1


"Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland on Thursday told President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Treasury secretary that he would push for an investigation into Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci for possible violations of sanctions against Russia.

During a confirmation hearing for the nominee, Steven Mnuchin, Cardin said he planned to send a letter from himself and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts to the Treasury asking for an investigation into Scaramucci and his fund.
Cardin seemed to be referring to a discussion, reported by Bloomberg News, between Scaramucci and the head of a Russian sovereign wealth fund that the US government sanctioned in 2015.

According to Bloomberg, Scaramucci and the fund's director, Kirill Dmitriev, spoke about possible co-investment opportunities. Bloomberg reported that the meeting took place at the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday and was confirmed by Scaramucci.

During an interview with Bloomberg TV — in which the sanctions against Dmitriev's fund were not directly brought up — Scaramucci said he had known Dmitriev for a while and was unsure whether he could continue to contact the Russian investor once he got into the administration."

36. To sum up what I've gleaned

from the talking heads on TV the last couple hours, he will lie and spin and sell the PeeResident's bullshit fascist agenda much more smoothly and calmly than Spicer did.
