White House communications director reveals Trump as anonymous source
Say you're 10 years old with a little sister who's six, and your parents are talking in low voices in the kitchen. You're bored, so you look at your sister, look back at your parents, look at your sister again and say, "I know something you don't know."
The point is to generate intrigue, right? You want your sister to want to know what you know. Now you're supposed to go to your grave with this piece of information, allowing its mysteriousness to grow into credibility. But if you forget that part and just come out with whatever it is you know, it better be good. Or, if you're new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, you could just volunteer that, actually, your information is shit.

"Somebody said to me yesterday — I won't tell you who — that if the Russians actually hacked 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 in hacking," Scaramucci said. "My point is, all the information isn't on the table yet."
Tapper interjects to point out that these are pretty bold assertions from this anonymous source, given the entire intelligence community has said the Russian government was behind the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails. At this, Scaramucci just gives up his source.
"How 'bout it was the president?" Scaramucci says.
Watching the clip felt like a moment when someone reveals a poker hand they thought was pocket aces, but really was just a '6' and a '4,' which sort of look like aces, kinda, if you just glance at them real quick and you're a little drunk.
It's safe to say Scaramucci and Tapper have different opinions on the credibility of the president.
