These people are also all individual humans, trying to do their job.

Look at the Secret Service. The Secret Service stopped Trump from going to the Capitol. They knew what would happen if he showed up and the couple hundred security police were met with 10,000 rabid MAGAs.

On the other hand, they also knowingly deleted all of their communications from those days, because they knew they had also broken laws and protocols.

I can't fathom how hard it must be to be a Secret Service agent for Trump. You want someone to take the shot and off the guy, but then you are also a proud Secret Service Agent with a sworn duty. Sometimes your better angels win, and sometimes the devil takes the reins.

That's humanity. Self-preservation changes as the terrain changes. I suspect we are about to see a flood of information coming from the Secret Service about all the misdeeds and policy failures within the organization.

And still, to his death, Trump will have US American citizens as his Secret Service detail, being continually mistreated and abused by the Fuckwit In Chief.

Man ... to dedicate yourself to a life of service ... and then that service is assigned to the most selfish, worthless human being to ever sit on the throne... that has to hurt. Bad.
