These people can not be left to their own devices.
We need non establishment people in government to pull out the weeds.
And this ignores what I said about knowing there are bad among them as well as how we have to answer to partisan forces because we are answerable to elected officials. I'll be honest, if this was a technocracy and the bureaucrats could just focus on the hard data and how to resolve issues that way, I'd be happy (not really, I believe in a government of and by the people, but I'm making a point). The majority of the country would not be, though, because they don't want decisions based on that. We have to bend to the political whims of the public and their representatives (and those they appoint). The FBI director is usually not a very political person, but they answer to people that are. there is a reason that Comey is still much beloved at the FBI, even with the mistakes he made.
