Josh Picks a Fight Over the FEC
The White House FEC Nominees List functions as the material provocation for the meeting: Josh names nominees from the administration roster (per canonical context, the list underwrites his announcement), converting an abstract policy fight into concrete personnel stakes that prompt leadership's hostile threats.
Before:
Presumed in White House possession / ready as a briefing memo or list prepared for the meeting; authoritative printed page.
After:
Remains a point of contention; still the administration's nominees (physically likely returned to Josh's control or left on the table), serving as the tangible trigger for subsequent White House-Hill conflict.
