4. Part of MAGA is consoling itself by blaming everything on Bondi's "incompetence"

What that incompetence might be is never made clear. Apparently, she shouldn't have said "it's on my desk right now" and that seems to be about it. But it's all a ruse, since Bondi can't "release" "the files," whatever that means. Whether it's because "the files" implicate Trump (as many of you believe) or because the whole thing has always been a massive McGuffin and there are no files to speak of (as I believe) is really of little interest. The fact that they cannot be released is not due to Bondi's incompetence either way, nor will shitcanning Bondi solve the problem. Regardless of the details and content of the matter, what's happening here is a lie hitting a wall, a con reaching its internal limit. There's really no solution for that.

All cons have internal limits - the place where their untruths meet the truths of the world. They inevitably have an internal limit by virtue of being untrue.
