24. It makes one wonder who had the biggest interest in Charlie leaving the playing field

As far as I can tell, nobody on the left had much of an interest. Kirk's escape to bigger and better things really changes nothing as far as libs are concerned. Kirk was just another one in the "big bag of rats". We still have a big bag of rats. Nothing is different.

Trump had an interest because Kirk was pushing for release of the Epstein files.

Erika had an interest because she wasted no time in grabbing that franchise for herself.

Bannon and Miller had an interest because Kirk was a rival for Trump's ear.

And now it looks like Vance may have had an interest -- being under pressure to split with his nonwhite wife, and evidently some interest in the widow.
