Something major happens, the news media makes a big deal out of it, and then the White House takes an interminable amount of time to react -- even when they were warned ahead of time. </i> Most of the time this works to Joe’s political benefit. Joe has teflon qualities in good measure because he ignores a lot of the day to day noise and the news cycle marches on to the next shiny object.

I’d like the media to focus on what Joe knew and when he knew it and what responsibility IF ANY he bears under the law.

It's an issue of patriotism and morality in the public sphere. The only good I can see coming from this is that it will perhaps persuade him not to run again for President.
