The amateurs she has at the helm, like Chief of Staff Lindsay Parker (smarter than Muriel but does not have gravitas or much of a personality), the Mayor’s Office of Legal Counsel (MOLC), which is full of inexperienced attorneys and led by a Deputy Director who often appears woefully intellectually inferior to the much more seasoned DC government attorneys, but who loves to hog the camera (see the disastrous Falcicchio press conferences), are not equipped to meet this moment. They never were and the Mayor had enough of a runway to realize this. Muriel needs lawyers with the legal acumen of the current DC AG and his senior staff actually working FOR the Mayor.

I am really disappointed with this administration, its responses to this debacle and its hiring choices. Just such a mess. Constantly looking like a deer in headlights, stumbling over her words, contradicting herself - is anybody advising her?


Why the attacks on the Chief of Staff and the Mayor’s Office of Legal Counsel (MOLC) when she has to contend with the President and the City Council not to mention the Attorney General who does not always see eye to eye with her? Also, why single out those people but not address everyone under her like Commissioners, Deputy Mayors, City Administrator, Directors? I think she’s doing a great job navigating the city through everything and so is the team that’s supporting her.


Why hasn’t the PP answered my question? Why the attacks?


Sorry, what is that you’re asking? I’m sure there’s enough feedback to go around for the people you’ve highlighted as well. Are you soliciting feedback for the Deputy Mayors, City Administrator, Directors, and Commissioners as well?


Yes why are you attacking those specific people?
