[Vermont Lt]

I think you might have missed the “clarification” that came out. She is heading the investigation into “Why” the immigrants are coming—not the activities at the border.

Harris’ people would not allow her to be put in such a position to fail.

I believe that both of you are right. WileyC in his analysis that Biden's handlers (Biden doesn't "know" anything at this point in his life) have figured out that the border issue is going to hurt them, despite almost surely being under reported in the media. They sent Harris to do the dirty work of "handling" the issue.

I believe Vermont Lt is also correct in that Harris (and no doubt her handlers) came up with the counter strategy that she is going to work to determine the cause, rather than handle it directly.

All of which says that there are some Game of Thrones type stuff going on in the WH, that we are only aware of through analyzing their actions, as you both did.

We are living in those interesting times from the Chinese curse.
