Why This Score
This item is pure political gossip/speculation about personnel dynamics with no identifiable constitutional mechanism, no policy action, and narrow population impact. It scores near-zero on all A-score drivers since it involves no election interference, rule of law violation, separation of powers issue, civil rights impact, institutional capture, corruption, or violence. On the B-scale it has modest tabloid-style intrigue value but lacks the outrage/meme virality of major distraction events, and there's no clear strategic intent to distract from a specific concurrent policy action. Falls below both list thresholds and matches noise criteria for pure speculation without mechanism.
