Mooch The Merciless 'Terminates' First Suspected White House Leaker

"Just days after newly appointed White House Communications Director Anthony "Mooch" Scaramucci took up his position, he is laying down the law, telling Politico Monday that there would be changes in his communications shop - but he was still evaluating the landscape.

"Senior people have gone to the comms people and said, leak this or leak that on this person or that person."

 "The comms department reports to me. I report to the president. It has to stop, and I've told them that. If it doesn't stop, I'll fire all of you."

And today, it appears the first actions have taken place. ...."

FBI Seized Smashed Hard Drives From Wasserman Schultz IT Aide’s Home

"FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives from the home of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s information technology (IT) administrator, according to an individual who was interviewed by Bureau investigators in the case and a high level congressional source.

Pakistani-born Imran Awan, long-time right-hand IT aide to the former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman, has since desperately tried to get the hard drives back, the individual told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

The congressional source, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe, confirmed that the FBI has joined what Politico previously described as a Capitol Police criminal probe into “serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network” by Imran and three of his relatives, who had access to the emails and files of the more than two dozen House Democrats who employed them on a part-time basis. ....."

Is Global Warming Alarmism a Complete Fraud?

"..... There is no other branch of science in which such after-the-fact changes in data to fit a politicized theory would be greeted with anything but contempt. Why are such shenanigans tolerated here? Presumably many billions of dollars in government funding have something to do with it.

These charts are interesting, too. Reading the newspapers, you would think that we are suffering through an unprecedented heat wave every year. But that isn’t true at all. Click to enlarge: ..."

The Scandal of the Liberal Mind
