“I don’t want to speak for the president.” Continues to totally speak for the president.
This guy is off to a pretty rocky start.

Trump’s plan:
Get rid of Sessions and appoint Rudi Giulliani and have Rudi fire Mueller and take over the Russia investigation.
Why can’t the corporate main stream media connect the dots and start hodling Trump and the Republican Congress accountable?

He’s the Communications Director, it’s his job to create the message.

The “reality-show” script to keep you watching to see if he fires Sessions is playing out nicely.

There’s not enough paper in the world to document what the absolute fuck is wrong with these people. Who in the holy hell throws their ATTORNEY GENERAL that they FUCKING PICKED under the bus like this? This is no god damn way to run a country.

Talk of his shifting loyalties was already circulating among Republicans on various sides of the primary due to rumors emanating from the disbanded Walker campaign that Scaramucci had leaked information to the press and otherwise caused headaches for the campaign.
“He was suspected of leaking and stirring up drama with the donors,” a former senior Walker campaign aide recalled.
Another senior Walker aide said Scaramucci was suspected of airing some of the campaign’s dirty laundry. “There were a lot of people unhappy with how the campaign was being managed. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was stoking those things with the press.”
Scaramucci’s reputation in GOP political circles as a press leaker may have originated in 2012, when he tipped off a Bloomberg reporter to the time and location of a fundraising event for the Republican super PAC Crossroads GPS, according to a report in Politico at the time. At the event, Crossroads chief Karl Rove made disparaging remarks about then-GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin, who was under fire for comments questioning whether a woman could be impregnated by rape.

I can’t help but think that something has happened to bring on this recent animus against Sessions. My guess is that Trump recently asked him flat out to fire Mueller, and Sessions told him he couldn’t, because he had recused himself. Whenever Trump talks about Sessions and his recusal, he is in fact talking about Sessions and his refusal–to fire Mueller.

I think that’s a pretty good guess. It fits Trump’s neophyte understanding of what’s going on around him and I can imagine him thinking “well, if Sessions does it then I can claim my hands are clean.” He’s also just getting totally agitated because Mueller’s been reported to be looking into his personal finances, which I would imagine would agitate him regardless of whether there’s any “there” there…but I’m of the camp that believes there’s enough “there” there for it to actually have Trump frightened and deeply worried. As that emotional instability increases, his attempts to form an autocracy will grow more frantic, flailing and frequent. His narcissism will allow nothing else.

Please proceed Mr. President.
Fire Sessions after you threatened him for not stopping the Russia investigation and for not going after Hillary.

In other words, Trump knows Sessions has the goods on him on the substantive collusion with Russia before the election, and is trying to lay the “disgruntled former employee” groundwork before Sessions is back under oath in front of the Committee.

Hey Mooch, Trump doesn’t have that kind of relationship with ANY HUMAN BEING IN THE UNIVERSE because he’s a sleazy, amoral, narcissistic user of people who takes no responsibility for anything. I’d watch your back, dude.

My impression of Sessions is that he’s racist, ruthless and essentially evil. If Sessions is out either because Rump canned him outright or just made his life intolerable, some things come to mind:
*Rump can’t fill the position unless it’s a recess appointment
*That person (won’t be Guiliani) wouldn’t have the loyalty or respect from ANYONE currently in the DOJ
*If that person then fires Mueller, Sessions makes a bee line to him and Congress
*I don’t know if the country won’t collapse per se but the slow motion unravelling begins in earnest and will pick up speed as the year ends. Because at the same time that’s happening, there’s also the spectre of the debt ceiling to be worked on.
Bad days ahead.

I think the Daily Show had a pretty good clip to show just what a liability The Mooch really is going to turn out to be for Trumpymonkeybaby. In it, he was doing an interview with Tapper and he basically makes the argument that an unnamed source told him that if the Russians really had done it, we’d never know and it would have been untraceable and left no evidence (queue spooky music to accompany backwards thinking) :
“Somebody said to me the other day — I don’t want to say who — if the Russian actually hacked the this situation and spilled out those emails, you would have never seen it. You would have never had any evidence of them. Meaning that they’re super confident in their deception skills and hacking.”
Fucking ridiculous, right? Well, it gets better, because Tapper slams this nonsense and says he doesn’t know who the anonymous source is. Scaramucci’s response to try to win the argument was this:
“How about it’s the president, Jake…He called me from Air Force One and basically said to me, ‘This is — maybe they did it, maybe they didn’t do it.’”
The Mooch has a mouth and by fucking God come hell or high water he’s going to run it.
Also, there’s this…which was fucking brilliant for them to have even noticed so quickly:
