Day 421
Friday 16 March 2018
Day 344
Friday 29 December 2017
Spicer’s presence that night has caused some unease among Republicans because the expiration of a 35-year-old settlement, or consent decree, barring the RNC from engaging in ballot security operations may depend on it.
Day 267
Friday 13 October 2017
“Mr. Priebus was voluntarily interviewed by Special Counsel Mueller’s team today. He was happy to answer all of their questions"

In addition to Priebus, Spicer and Hicks, Mueller has notified the White House he will probably seek to question White House counsel Don McGahn and one of his deputies, James Burnham.
Day 205
Saturday 12 August 2017
Trump’s allies are particularly concerned about Mr. Mueller’s interest in talking to Mr. Priebus ... Mr. Trump’s confidants at the White House say Mr. Trump was never fully convinced that Mr. Priebus would be loyal to him.
Day 193
Monday 31 July 2017
By the end of last week, the well-documented chaos in President Trump’s White House had reached such a crescendo that the New York Post’s Friday, July 28, cover characterized the administration’s key players as contestants in a game of Survivor.
Day 192
Sunday 30 July 2017
In a series of tweets Sunday morning, Arthur Schwartz, a former spokesperson and self-described friend of ... Scaramucci, lit into ... Priebus, accusing him of having a mistress.
By mid-morning, however, Schwartz had an apparent change of heart toward Priebus. Schwartz deleted two of his earlier tweets and publicly apologized.
The reversal came after Schwartz tweeted ... that Scaramucci had asked him to “cut it out.”
Day 191
Saturday 29 July 2017
Priebus's departure is a further indication that ... the administration ... is planning to survive by going full thug. That's why Scaramucci was brought in, and why his profane indiscretions weren't enough to fire him.
Day 190
Friday 28 July 2017
As a senior White House staffer, the chief of staff would not ordinarily be tasked with such matters.
Trump ... sees Kelly as someone who dutifully follows through on his agenda and does not ever cause him problems, according to two White House officials.
Day 189
Thursday 27 July 2017
“What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers and I want to get the President’s agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people”
Scaramucci’s Old Testament reference looks like a pretty direct threat to his “brother”: After all, in Genesis, Cain kills Abel.
Day 183
Friday 21 July 2017
“Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation said that Scaramucci is being primed to eventually take on the position of chief of staff.”
Day 143

Day 78
Friday 7 April 2017
...while Trump is considering a major shake up in the West Wing, it's not clear when it would happen or if Trump will "pull that trigger."
Day 66
Sunday 26 March 2017
Priebus said Sunday that it was purely coincidental that a Fox News personality President Donald Trump had urged social media followers to watch Saturday had called for House Speaker Paul Ryan’s resignation.
Priebus comments come on the heels of ... report that blame for the failed health care overhaul bid was falling increasingly on the shoulders of the White House chief of staff
Day 65
Saturday 25 March 2017
In stopping the repeal ... from even coming to a vote, the rebellious far right wing out-rebelled Mr. Trump
In a search for scapegoats, he asked his advisers repeatedly: Whose fault was this? Increasingly, that blame has fallen on Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff
Mr. Bannon ... pushed Mr. Trump hard to insist on a public vote, as a way to identify, shame and pressure “no” voters
Mr. Bannon and Mr. Short were seeking to compile an enemies list.
“We all learned a lot — we learned a lot about loyalty,” a solemn Mr. Trump told reporters late Friday.
Day 44

Priebus joined in, telling the audience that “everything that you’re reading” about the Trump administration has been erroneous.
Day 28
Thursday 16 February 2017
Priebus’ job, many staffers are convinced, is safe — at least for now. [...] “If Reince goes,” said one former Priebus aide, “everyone else goes that he brought in.”
Bannon told the Atlantic’s Rosie Gray that Breitbart’s report was “absurd.”
