White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles: Wily or guileless -- you make the call!

 
Headline:  Washington Post, 12/16/2025 (highlight added)

Isaac Arnsdorf and Maegan Vazquez reports on White House damage control:
Administration officials have lined up to defend White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, including leaders she insulted over the course of 11 on-the-record interviews with a writer for the magazine Vanity Fair. 
Wiles and her allies said the two resulting articles, published Tuesday, took her out of context and cast the team in a negative light. Joining an outpouring of supportive statements from Cabinet secretaries and White House staffers, President Donald Trump praised Wiles and attacked Vanity Fair. 
“I didn’t read it, but I don’t read Vanity Fair — but she’s done a fantastic job,” Trump told the New York Post on Tuesday. “I think from what I hear, the facts were wrong, and it was a very misguided interviewer, purposely misguided.”

Wiles also received support Tuesday from Donald Trump Jr. and almost every Cabinet member — including Attorney General Pam Bondi, who Wiles said “whiffed” the release of the Epstein files, and budget director Russell Vought, whom she called a “right-wing absolute zealot.”  [emphasis added]
What other context is there for saying Bondi "whiffed" on the Epstein files and Russell Vought is a "right-wing absolute zealot", which from Wiles was probably meant as high praise?  

Not to mention Vance's political makeover!
