I'm Not Sure an Effective Investigation is Even Possible [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

I just watched the “president” of the United States conclude his investigation as to the cause of last night’s tragedy. His extensive experience as a passenger enabled him to attribute the cause to hiring of diverse staff for ATC, by people other than him. People that are not “mentally competent.” That, and the need for aircraft to be at different “heights.” So, no need to wait for years. Just common sense. Any questions?
It will be painfully difficult for the NTSB to conduct an effective investigation at this point. Absolutely every official appointed by Trump will be sworn to uphold his analysis. Any investigation team will be battling statements issued by the White House, late night posts on social media, and pressure from Trump appointees. I am concerned that any report will be riddled with references to DEI and wokeism as the proximate cause, because the president has already said so.
Perhaps there were enough foreign nations represented on board to enable another nation to take the lead. The passenger aircraft was a CRJ, so perhaps Canada could take the lead.
But the US won’t be able to lead this. Not now. The president isn’t in search of the truth, and neither is his administration.
