It started out as the Tweet heard around the political world. Anthony Scaramucci, White House Communications Director, threw down the gauntlet late Wednesday night and promised to turn the FBI and Justice Department loose on the culprits who leaked his financial disclosures to the public.

Scaramucci let a blistering Tweet fly after 10 pm EST but then deleted the Tweet after midnight. The Tweet called for the FBI and Justice Department to investigate the leaks of his financial disclosures and cryptically included the Twitter address of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

Freudian slip? Or perhaps a warning?

We saved the original Tweet just after it was released.

Just before 1 am EST, Scaramucci Tweeted somewhat of a clarification so to speak, at least by Twitter standards.
