#6 Any theories as to why this truck is conspicuously in the front of the building and not, say, out back in the loading dock?

#5 So a Head Fake appointment? The in the wings for the follow-on role after the Gaetz bloodbath at DOJ, where, curiously, a large shredding truck made a statement!

#4 If Whitaker is approved by the Senate, he becomes a chess piece that can be plugged in where he is needed. He does not need to be reconfirmed.
The strategy should be to get Mike Davis through Senate approval for a position over Forest Service concessions or something else innocuous. Trump moved Ric Grenell and John Radcliffe as needed in his 1st term. Whitaker was last seen doing some overseas consulting so there may be another reason for this appointment.
