According to reporter Ryan Lizza from The New Yorker, Scaramucci wants FBI, DOJ to investigate Reince Priebus for leaking his Financial disclosure!
In case there's any ambiguity in his tweet I can confirm that Scaramucci wants the FBI to investigate Reince for leaking.

**UPDATE** According to National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar, Ryan Lizza reported Scaramucci has ALREADY reported Reince to the FBI over the leak.
.@RyanLizza reports on CNN that Mooch already contacted the FBI about Reince // not just a threat (as he said in Tweet)

White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci took to Twitter Wednesday evening to let his 690,000 followers know that he will be contacting both the FBI and Department of Justice after his financial disclosure leaked.
“In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept #swamp @Reince45”

Anthony Scaramucci curiously ended his tweet with the hashtag #swamp @Reince45.
Was the financier-turned-Trump official hinting Priebus is part of the swamp whose name will be passed on to the FBI and Department of Justice as a leaker? Before you right off Scaramucci including Preibus in the tweet, take a look at what Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report thinks.
“POINTS FINGER AT PRIEBUS?” asks The Drudge Report.
Earlier this evening details of Scaramucci’s financial disclosure leaked, outlining his investments and ownership stakes in his former hedge fund SkyBridge and Chinese conglomerate HNA Group.
POLITICO reports:
The incoming White House communications director earned $4.9 million from his ownership stake in SkyBridge in addition to more than $5 million in salary between Jan. 1, 2016, and the end of June, when he joined the Export-Import Bank, according to a financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics. The disclosure form hasn’t been previously reported.
The disclosure highlights the extensive wealth Scaramucci has accumulated in his career — much like many of Trump’s other top advisers and Cabinet secretaries — and also the challenge he faces in extracting himself from the potential conflicts his investments could pose.
The SkyBridge website continues to advertise Scaramucci as the firm’s managing director, despite the fact that he has been a government employee for more than a month. A SkyBridge spokeswoman said Scaramucci stepped down from the executive post Jan. 17, when the company’s sale was announced. He remained an employee of the firm, collecting a salary, until starting at Ex-Im last month.
The investment firm, which Scaramucci founded in 2005, is in the process of being sold to RON Transatlantic and Chinese conglomerate HNA Group. The sale, set in motion in January when Scaramucci was shedding his holdings in anticipation of landing an administration job, has drawn the scrutiny of regulators and is taking longer than expected to close.
To make things more interesting, you will recall Scaramucci recently said he and Reince are like “brothers” as in they fight like brothers….
So far, Scaramucci has said he loves Spicer and Trump, he and Reince are like "brothers" and he gave a round of applause to Sanders
