They set themselves up to be right no matter what the case may be.
Actually, they set themselves up to not be
disproved.
They are not right, nothing right about them.
Dead witnesses, destroyed hard drives, wiped servers, info leaked by 'anonymous sources' which will capture the headlines and be debunked only after "everyone knows it's actually true". It isn't what you
know, it's what you can prove, and with the key people and physical evidence gone, or the 'investigators' bought and paid for (the carrot) or simply threatened with the myriad examples of those who wouldn't play along (the stick), their underlings grease the wheels that keep them rolling, likely for personal gain as well. People who are professionals at finding needles (even when they aren't present) suddenly can't see the haystack when they look to the left. Those little corruptions bring the leverage that gets the heavy lifting done, and someday Igor, the doctor will take care of that hump...
They read Machiavelli, Alinsky, and likely sold their souls somewhere along the line.
They're wrong, but right and wrong don't matter to them, it's all about optics, control and power, and money, and no one and nothing will stand in the way of that. They have no loyalty, no honor, no principles, and no real friends, only those who are useful to them in their quest for more, to be sidelined, discarded, or removed when they become more of a liability than an asset.
These are the creatures of the swamp, great and small, and what we need to remove from every level of government and public service.
