CNNs Don Lemon discussed with one of his panels Friday night why it is the White House decided on a news dump during hurricane watch.

Theres been some suggestion that the Joe Arpaio pardon was meant as a distraction, but CNN national security analyst Juliette Kayyem offered this different take:
I dont think this is a news dump. I think the sheriff story is something that the President very much wanted us to be talking about, because I think its a signal to people about what kind of law enforcement he wants, its a signal about pardoning, and its a signal about his priorities right now. I think he anticipated we were talking about it. I would definitely prefer to have a President who was only focused on the category 4 hurricane, but I believe he knew
I think he knows how we would react.
Lemon said, Maybe he cant stand not being the lead story.
