How embarrassing for the women who "spoke for him" last week.

This is the first decent article I've read explaining what happened. It's weird, though, how there's all this Washington DC influence coming in - outsiders to the city and the local government. This interim is coming in from the Obama administration, and now Kamala Harris flying in to meet with her for a few hours. It seems like it's being used to impose outside will and control on the city and subvert local and more independent control. They want their person in charge of the police dept - to be able to be pulling his strings from DC.

IOW they have an outside person coming in for the appointment and from DC. The rest is a charade - the national search, the potential picks, the interviews, so on ... they already have the person.

@1 Only if you park your brain any time the Democratic Party establishment accuses people of something sleazy, and therefore think they must be guilty. And when, actually, what's sleazy is what they're doing.
