While I know people at high levels in USG agencies who are not corrupt and am sure there are many others, the administrators of such agencies are appointed because they are corrupt, and are good at discreetly profiting from enabling crime.

Yep there are a lot of good people in government and whatever,
but the system itself is systemically corrupted to the core.

Doesn't really matter if they have good individuals inside them.
This is the same view as people that say ACAB (all cops are bastards).
Rotten to the core.
