I don't think the WH was worried over "turf"; LA is hardly turf they wanted to grab (if so, they could have, and worried about the legal, political and other consequences later). No, the turf protection was Blanco's, unless there is some other reason she refused the help she criticized the fed government for not offering and/or providing fast enough.
