In government you just say, “I’ll get to it when I have spare time!” Indeed. Although you phrase that negatively as though it were inherently a bad thing. But it's a fact of life in government that there is more work imposed than resources provided. Programs are under-resourced and demands pop up all the time that were not budgeted. So you prioritize. You resource those things that are must haves, that have critical implications. Other things lag. Some things on the list you never get around to. Much of what is demanded probably isn't worth doing but that does not diminish the demand. Cleaning up residual messes is never a priority in the face of immediate demands until and unless they resurface as immediate demands. In a business you have management that decides priorities and resources them. There may be second-guessing from the bleachers but there is a decider in chief. In government the demands are political and the resources are political and there is no mechanism to balance the push/pull. Everyone in the bleachers has an opinion about priorities and they are all different. I don't know if that's what happened in this case, that there were just too many other more pressing demands on resources. But I can easily envision that. That's just the way of life. Your characterization and generalization are off base.

Michael Cohen is expected to meet with Manhattan prosecutors for a ninth time this week in their ongoing criminal probe into former President Donald Trump and his eponymous company, a source familiar with the investigation told the Daily News on Monday. His latest rendezvous with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s team of investigators — headed by veteran white-collar prosecutor Mark Pomerantz — will add to more than 300 hours Cohen has already spent cooperating against his former boss in various investigations, the source said.
