Annoymorously sourced, but given how badly deBlah-Blah has F'ed up, quite plausible. Goldstein and Norvell moving on but not directly into a new job is suggestive.
IMO, besides the obvious attempted in-your-facing of President Trump - I doubt he cares - this petty move is the kind of minor BS-distractions that become the foci of someone who has totally lost control of what they are supposed to be doing.
