“Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder. ” ― George Washington
You might THINK that you're appealing to the more noble and patriotic people inside that agency. But at best, even the "good ones" are just trying to keep their heads down and avoid a layoff or getting transferred to Fairbanks, Alaska. People inside the FBI know it's a corrupt agency, but they have families to feed, mortgages to pay, and a pension to protect. Exceedingly few people -- even people of good will -- are able to simply walk away from cushy government jobs.
What a shame that so few people have Integrity. Oaths mean nothing to them.
Oaths don't mean shit to them.
Brilliant quote!
