So, the same way J. Edgar used it. “Most Wanted” was never an empirical category, it was always a publicity stunt. Why advertise criminals you can’t catch? Surely the murder of Savanna Guthrie’s mother was “most wanted.” But Patel washed his hands of the case, and blamed local officials for taking too long to call in the FBI. Besides, a suspect was never identified, so he could never make the list.Confirming @CarolLeonnig’s report that @FBIDirectorKash creates Most Wanted lists based on who he is abt to arrest, not actual danger.

We’re also still on this:
Because no one can admit the President is losing control of his faculties (at least), we are supposed to believe he’s referencing a song from 1968 no one’s ever heard him mention before? And that’s better?Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

The 79-year-old president was asked Wednesday about inflation shooting up 4.2 percent last month, and he declared, "I love the inflation," and his former White House communications director from early in his first term tried to clean up a statement that seems tailor-made for Democratic campaign ads.
"It's absolutely going to be a big, fat campaign ad for Democrats," said Mike Dubke. "They are going to use it. I think what the president, in context, he was basically quoting [a 1968 song by] Blood, Sweat and Tears, 'What Goes Up Must Come Down.' I think that he's assuming that once we cease hostilities with Iran and oil prices come down, that the momentum going into the midterm elections is going to create a situation where people feel good about the economy."
