In the long run, this is not about the Epstein mess.
It is about power.
Trump is a leader who wants to exercise all the power at the disposal of the POTUS.
He can’t do that ALONE.
The two most important subordinates under him are his chief of staff and his AG.
Nixon and Watergate exposed how important those positions are.
Wiles the Ice Queen appears to up to the job and way, way superior to anyone Trump had in that position during his first term.
Blondi is not.
If the AG is comparable to Don Corleone’s consigliere, then Trump needs a war time consigliere because Trump is always under attack by those who want to take him out.
Depends on how one frames it, whether it is respect or fear, an AG for Trump must be strong and have one or the other.
Blondi has been on the job long enough to fairly say she has not gained much respect and no one fears her no matter how many blathering pressers she does.
Good point about Wiles.
The handling of this entire matter starting in February does not feel like it is her handiwork.
Wiles tends to under-promise, not over-promise.
I think she was not allowed to control Bondi—and a PR disaster was the result.
