The White House; The Executive Branch; The USA: Who's In Charge?

Kamala Harris may have chosen her vice-president. There is only one question regarding DC. Just one. Damian Bennett has only one question:

 Who's In Charge?

Biden/Harris drop a hint on next genius foreign policy move, hotly anticipated, three years dedicated in the making -- 

• 9/11 Mastermind [Khalid Sheik Mohammed] And Two Other Terrorists Awaiting Trial On Guantánamo Bay Strike Plea Deals July 31, 2024
  The alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks and two other terrorists being held in Guantánamo Bay will be spared the death penalty under a deal with prosecutors, it was revealed Wednesday. The announcement was a bitter pill to swallow for victims’ families who have anxiously awaited the conclusion of the case for nearly 24 years — many of whom felt death was the only appropriate punishment for the perpetrators of the heinous attacks.

• Lawmakers Slam Biden Admin Plea Deal That Spares Death Penalty For 9/11 Mastermind And Two Accomplices: ‘National Disgrace’ July 31, 2024
  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: “The Biden-Harris Administration’s weakness in the face of sworn enemies of the American people apparently knows no bounds. The plea deal with terrorists – including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks that killed thousands of Americans – is a revolting abdication of the government’s responsibility to defend America and provide justice. The only thing worse than negotiating with terrorists is negotiating with them after they are in custody.”
  Former President Donald Trump’s administration had ruled out any plea bargains with the suspected terrorists at Gitmo.

• Biden Administration Makes Huge U-turn In Plea Deal Offer For 9/11 'Mastermind' That Sparked Outrage August 2, 2024
  Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has dramatically revoked a proposed plea deal for the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. Austin said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two accomplices were no longer eligible for life sentences in prison without the prospect of the death penalty in return for a guilty plea. ... Austin also relieved the official responsible for the plea deal of her duties. Retired Brigadier General Susan K Escallier will no longer oversee the case, with Austin himself assuming responsibility for it.
  
• Memorandum For Susan Escallier, Convening Authority For Military Commissions August 2, 2024
  Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin: I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009. Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself. 
  

WH says Biden and Harris knew nothing. A truly astonishing claim, unbelievable on its face but, considering the players, probably true, begging the Q: 

WHY did they know nothing? 

Dumpster Fire Chief Austin declares he's in charge. Judge Escallier gets hosed. [Clap wipes hands.] And there the circus ends. Please don't bring it up again. Move on. Move along. Get out of here.

I want to rage, but is this somehow more outrageous than the Biden cadaver presidency itself? If you want to rage, where to start? Once you start, there is no end. We are fighting powers that are themselves discombobulated, internally clueless, without a coordinating intelligence, that slosh about in a CYA culture. Powers that congeal into a massive, oozy, amoeboid sprawl that is both everywhere and, because unaccountable, nowhere. It has no one heart at which to strike the fell blow.
