Paul Dans was always stepping down at this point. Now it just looks like Tdawg fired him.

First- from ABC news:

NEW YORK — The director of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 vision for a complete overhaul of the federal government stepped down Tuesday after blowback from Donald Trump’s campaign, which has tried to disavow the program created by many of the former president’s allies and former aides.Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said Paul Dans’ exit comes after the project “completed exactly what it set out to do.” Roberts, who has emerged as a chief spokesman for the effort, plans to lead Project 2025 going forward.

“Our collective efforts to build a personnel apparatus for policymakers of all levels — federal, state, and local — will continue,” Roberts said.

Secondly, from Forbes

Roberts said Project 2025 was always scheduled to conclude its “policy drafting after the two-party conventions this year” and is “sticking to that timeline.”

Finally, from CNN:

“Under Paul Dans’ leadership, Project 2025 has completed exactly what it set out to do: bringing together over 110 leading conservative organizations to create a unified conservative vision, motivated to devolve power from the unelected administrative state, and returning it to the (whyte, racist, Maga) people,” Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation, told CNN. “This tool was built for any future administration to use.”

I believe… that None of this was “for Trump.” His own team just tried to fake slay him, Carlson told him he’d be assassinated if he didn’t pick Vance. Which leaves Vance & Mike Johnson up to bat when the republican party rids themselves of DJT, for one. But it also leaves all this immunity stuff in place for whosoever, the now stacked court for whosoever. It’s the positioning of the play, not the guy.

In this instance The guy is making the noise to draw attention away from policies being written into law. He’s the clown doing the bit while the house is being robbed by professionals.
