I suppose it's fair to presume that in the management ranks of the federal government, the supply of up and coming skunks vastly outnumbers the supply of straight-shooters.
Also keep in mind that despite all the crap going on around Trump back to 2016 maybe even 2015 and yet admiral Mike Rogers did not go to Trump tower untill after Trump was elected president. Why? Because he was finally legally allowed to reveal that intel information to the president elect. The good guys play by the rules sometimes that takes a little extra time and effort.
