A slight weight lifted from Theodore's shoulders - it was possible that this wasn't a game of assigning blame to him, but rather, trying to avoid it on the Minister's behalf. "Well in that case, Minister Rourke could hardly be considered responsible for any of this." He observed coolly. Perhaps the head of the DMLE was the one running this show. Perhaps he liked having Minister Rourke in office, a compliant and non-threatening figurehead. Was any of this true, or was it simply a staged attempt to extricate the Minister from the current situation, now that the press had caught on and was depicting him (and the Ministry) in an increasingly negative light. Or perhaps a select group of Healers really had attempted to meddle in Ministry business and the rest of the Ministry - DMLE and Rourke both - had been oblivious until now. Theodore didn't particularly care. "How do you plan to move forward?"
