The deep state will always protect the deep state, including the legacies of those who have passed on.
Remember Mark Felt, the "Deep Throat" of Watergate? He expected to be feted for his "bravery" which was really his cover for petty revenge against being passed over for a promotion.
Because of his actions, millions of Indochinese died at the hands of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rogue. Anyway, he remained anonymous until he outed himself shortly before his death. The world yawned, rolled over and went back to sleep.
