My gut says we've got some middle management government beauracrats, with a propensity to cover-their-*ss and kiss their boss's *ss.
Then we had eight years of sick President and a pathological Last Lady, along with a few sickophant accomplices, and quite a few more scared for their lives, who twisted and abused that fat and unfocused federal beauracracy into a cesspool of serious corruption and coverup.
I trust that most were not consciously involved in conspiracy and coverup of such epic proportions.
On the other hand, being unconscious of ones duty to our country, its people and the law should be a firing offense. Deliberate treason should be a firing squad offense.
