I'm wondering if he even knows what his own people are doing. And, no, that's not trying to absolve him of anything, but 'you guys are still talking about this shit?' is just such a fucking baffling position to take a part of me wonders if he even knows his people closed the case the day before.

It's damning, either way. Either he's in on at least the coverup, or he's completely lost the plot and is focusing on something other than the actions of the people directly below him.
