I bet the media is being played and Scaramucci was REALLY fired for financial reasons.

The WH is just pretending it had to do with his mouthing off, and that Kelly is taking charge.

Scary's official start date was supposed to be Aug. 15, so he's been fired even before he officially started.

And remember when he made the stink about his financial disclosure forms? Someone should look at them again.

This is from July 26th:

The investment firm, which Scaramucci founded in 2005, is in the process of being sold to RON Transatlantic and Chinese conglomerate HNA Group. The sale, set in motion in January when Scaramucci was shedding his holdings in anticipation of landing an administration job, has drawn the scrutiny of regulators and is taking longer than expected to close.

The interagency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States is examining the deal to ensure that it carries no risk to national security. The panel’s review, which comes amid ramped-up scrutiny of business dealings with China, ultimately can be overruled by President Donald Trump.

Scaramucci said Friday his start date wouldn’t be until August so that everything can be “100 percent totally cleansed and clean and I don’t see an issue with it.”

White House spokeswoman Natalie Strom referred questions about Scaramucci’s SkyBridge investment to the Treasury. Treasury spokeswoman Marisol Garibay did not respond to requests for comment.

after the initial reaction to his hiring was along the lines of "Mr. Trump likes chaos. He likes people who speak their mind." etc.

There's probably information too difficult for these simpletons to hide.

He just seems like one very skeevy individual, with a closet full of skeletons.
