Blanko putting this pinhead in charge of the "recovery" shows how seriously she is taking this crisis. She screwed the pooch with this guy last time and she's wanting to do it again. This is like putting Jamie GoreLick on the 9-11 Commission. CYA!!!
It's even worse, since the 9/11 commission happened after the event. Here the incompetent Witt has been called to implement a recovery. It's as if we called on Gorelick herself to prevent XYZ terrorist attack - she can't. All she can do is hypothecize and naval gaze.
