This is the best comment ^. People like Fauchi et al for all practical purposes, are untouchable, and have gained their positions by pleasing other unelected govt. employees. I can see that one reaction to this would be for some employees to not want to get promoted past a certain point.

People like Fauchi, the Vindmans, ad infinitum, have always been a problem that was too small to deal with, but like ticks or termites, eventually cripple the host. I think the coding field may get crowded soon.

It's as if in these bloated bureaucracies, the lower down in the chain you are, the more power you have. Because rules and regs and unions make it next to impossible to fire you even if you secretly (or blatantly) subvert the President's policies. The Executive Branch is riddled with these termites.
