1. This has nothing to do with the everyday men and women of the FBI.
Disagree. This is so wide spread, that if there were any integrity left at the FBI; there would be thousands of agents coming forward to testify.
I see it said a lot that the rank and file FBI is embarrassed and extremely offended by the corrupt and illegal behavior of their top tier management. I disagree with that assumption as well. Let me say that Im skeptical. Its actually a common affliction for members of such elite organizations to develop their first alliegence and loyalty to be to their organization. Youll find it in the ATF, DEA, CIA, IRS, etc. that why strong and vigorous oversight with stringent consequences for not just illegalities but also any mischief is an absolute must.

Absolutely true. Their job security, career advancement, and even friendships with colleagues become part of the loyalty equation. They become “wedded” to their agencies.
Its also true with respect to other agencies, most of which are predominately staffed by Democrats. Dependence on ever expanding government programs breeds even more loyalty to progressive politics.

Exactly. It’s like omerta..code of silence for mafia. Practiced by all police from state/local up through the federal agencies. Very, very powerful. If there was any honor among the rank and file there would have been tons of leaks but....crickets.
