Three things I don’t understand:
1) Scary-mooch’s pending hedge fund sale is keeping him from officially joining the W.H. payroll — something to do with tax shelter and concern (choke) over ‘conflict of interest’ and…some hoped for favoritism from Trump’s appointees that have say-so on sale.
Q: Is he NOT a W.H. employee? How then can he “fire a guy” as he said, and “fire 3–4 more tomorrow” [today], and tell Huckabee to “keep the hair/make-up person” (is that her job? Must be, she’s a ‘girl’)?
2) Does he or doesn’t he have “security clearance”? He would have to as an employee — but is he just the “President’s BFF” and doesn’t he need clearance even for that? (Which brings me back to ‘firing’ people.)
Q: How is he running about the W.H. picking fights and firing people, having dinner with the Pres, and flying off in Air Force One, with no clearance?
3) Scary-mooch accuses Reince of a crime — a “felony” crime. He equates this crime as a threat to the Pres and National Security — so treason or terrorism — with no proof. He says he is turning him in to DOJ and FBI. AND THEN at end of phone call to Ryan Lizza, he says “gotta start tweeting some sh*t to make this guy crazy.”
Legal Q: Isn’t this the definition of Libel? He even confesses he out to get Reince and then announces his intent harass him. “Intent” is key to libel case. OR — back to does he work there or not — if he does, this seems to be a legal case of harassment by a co-worker. And, finally, if he did “fire a guy” and he doesn’t work there can’t that guy sue him too?
Final Q…and maybe I answer my own Q’s: OR can the Pres run ‘his’ office any way he wants and there are no rules and even workplace law doesn’t apply?
These really ARE questions — I do want to know.
