The start of procedures in search of an off ramp. They see what's coming.

Exactly. They know there will be consequences. Wiles seems determined to land on her feet, though I hope she goes all the way down with the rest of them.

Sounds like a concerted effort to distance herself & trump administration from legal ramifications of Musk bullshit. She talks like trump was oblivious (which i’m sure he was) but he is also the president & these talking points of hers are strategic to make it look like she is innocent with no power & no say - sounds like a legal defense to me. She is as wiley as a fox in the hen house. Poor little ole suzie just didnt understand the ramifications of gutting USAID???? She tried to tell Musk😂

I think her little act is learned behavior from growing up with alcoholic daddy - total little good CODA daughter to trump & the rest of the vile, evil forces at play. She thinks she knows how to deal with strong abusive men. She is a typical CODA who plays the loving daughter and begs everyone around her to stop the madness. A typical CODA never walks away because of their fear of being unloved - no matter how vile the perpetrator is.

She is as guilty as the rest of the slime she is surrounded by. But no matter, they will all be given pardons and go on their merry way. She is just laying the groundwork for her day in court - thats all. She is a grifter extraordinaire and laying the groundwork for her legal defense when this is all over.

She is an evil piece of shit!!

She knows exactly what is going on and who is doing it, but as chief of staff still allows it! Shame on her, she should go down with the rest of them!

Was Susie Wiles drinking when she gave the interview, or is she hoping that Trump will fire her?

I find it sad, but he takes after his poorly educated father.

Holy cow. (I avoided my usual JFC). This administration is like a bad B movie that no one would ever believe possible. I am so discouraged and feel that no one, especially Trump, will ever be held accountable. This is so aggravating and so sad.

She is looking for an exit and trying to sell she is the only voice of reason in the regime i call bullshit, where was she on day one of the tRump derangment regime? tRump has not done anything to lower prices, grocerys is out of control.

I still wish someone would ask tRump if he has ever been in a grocery store? Ever

I appreciate the additional info, but your conclusion that "the danger facing American democracy does not come only from Trump. It also comes from the quiet cynicism of insiders who know better . . ." should not be news to anyone paying attention. Orange Mussolini isn't quick enough to think of all the crap that's going on. I'm still convinced it's Vought (brains) and Miller (evil, cruel sidekick) who are running the show.

I love what she said. But she's maga so she can't be trusted. Rats jumping ship. What a great laugh.

"She is a central figure who continues to execute the agenda she privately criticizes. Her candor, captured on the record, underscores a broader truth about this administration: many of the people closest to Trump understand exactly who he is and how dangerous his impulses can be, yet they continue to enable him."

So is she another enabler? Or just a plain old whore??

Susie should call it as she sees it and have no regrets. Her only regret should be working for a miserable misogynist like Trump. He does not respect any women, even those who support him or are in his cabinet. It’s plain as day.

I don’t disagree, but on the other hand Susie Wiles has placed herself among some of the worst people her entire career. She thinks she can outswim the sharks.

GREED!! She will be able to rake in the big bucks after this is all over and possibly is on the take with the rest of the slime bags

NO sympathy. She knew she was going to work for a snake and didn't care.

Those bastards in the cabinet are all traitors for failing in their lawful duty to invoke the 25th Amendment. Is Wiles just playing both sides against the middle here? If so, she is the worst kind of traitor--rat out your compadres while enabling them.

What a wicked web this evil regime weaves and they are all caught in it. Everyone one of them needs to be held accountable for their actions against America and the world. The sooner, the better. They are not above the law.

Thanks Ben for all your hard work.
