Besides a desire for power to corrupt in these government jobs, absolutely powerful government jobs likely attract already absolutely corrupt people.
Government employees might already be corrupt before they attain power, and it is the absolute power which attracts them to government positions.
Simply observe how often government employees or others make billions to trillions of dollars appear out of nowhere and give that money to other governments or to secretly operating entities like the FBI. Who would be able to prevent FBI or other government employees from taking a couple million dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars here or there? Or, what about the potential to secretly get revenge on groups of people? For example, FBI targeting Catholics; how many corrupt Americans might be motivated to work for the FBI if they can secretly get revenge on Catholics? Such abilities might be sought after by already corrupt people due to government secrecy, Americans are unable to know.
Due to the apparently ferocious opposition of political belief systems, future government officials might seek revenge against previous government officials.
A law scholar at the Illinois Law Review, Craig S. Lerner, in a discussion on how corruption in government might influence lawmaking, mentions such a potential phenomenon: How is such a state of affairs likely to influence the lawmaking process? First, one might expect legislators to enact laws that directly protect themselves from criminal prosecution.
The law defines "Person" as any individual, corporation, company, association, firm, partnership, society, joint stock company, any State or local government or any agency thereof, or any other organization, whether commercial or nonprofit, who is performing weather modification activities, except where acting solely as an employee, agent, or independent contractor of the Federal Government.
Another implication is that "Weather modification activities" might be performed by employees, agents, or independent contractors of the federal government, and those persons apparently do not need to submit reports to other U.S. government officials about such "Weather modification activities." In other words, "Employees, agents, or independent contractors of the federal government" who perform "Weather modification activities" might be able to do so secretly.
