I forget who said it recently, but they claimed that a backfiring of trumps administration has been that he fired so many lobbyists that many of his own people were forced to become lobbyists themselves which compromised them

Keep in mind a lobbyist isn’t an inherently negative thing (though more often than not it is) and for someone to be “compromised” might only mean that they’re now tied up in legal restrictions or they owe favors or can’t step on certain toes or whatever. They wind up willfully shirking responsibility for doing the right thing because they’re hoping someone else will take care of it before they have to
