Edit: And yes they played their hand to early and ended up painting themselves into a corner because if they deny his request to take action they will appear as assholes and he can say they are obstructing him thus its not his fault for not doing anything but theirs and if they authorize it goes wrong then the blowback will largely land on them just before an election to and they cant take credit if it goes well, either way its a win win.
