In early February, a lawyer from the Obama administration, who had a good rapport with Sally Yates, expressed a certain amusement at the paradox of political life. The remark highlighted the unusual situation where someone who previously had no political ambitions suddenly finds themselves elected into office. This twist of fate can be seen as an advantageous moment for adversaries to exploit.

This commentary reflects the complexities of navigating a political landscape, particularly for those who transition from a non-political background to a prominent position. In Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," this idea is explored within the context of the challenges faced by individuals unaccustomed to the scrutiny that comes with political power.
