Single article reporting 'sources say' about potential resignation creates high media-friendly speculation (B=32.34) around Epstein association. Constitutional impact minimal (A=0.63): personnel_capture driver scores 2/5 for potential influence concern, but event is speculative resignation consideration with narrow scope, no confirmed institutional compromise. Severity multipliers reduced (0.8/0.9/0.8) for high reversibility and limited durability of unconfirmed personnel consideration. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for personnel_capture pathway. B-score elevated by outrage_bait (8) linking Bongino to Epstein files, media_friendliness (9) for resignation drama, and Layer 2 mismatch (8) between speculative personnel move and constitutional significance. Intentionality indicators (11/15) include Epstein-framing, single-source amplification, and vague 'turmoil' claims without substantive policy impact. D=-31.71 clearly indicates List B distraction pattern.
