But, if you want to make it look like you are doing the right thing but don't want to be remembered as having done that right thing, maybe this was the right thing to do given that now it won't be done.
Right, if they were screwing over customers, we’d call it disruption and give them a medal, if not $1 billion dollars. Since they’re trying to help people, we wag our fingers at them.
Whistleblowers are almost always revealing information that they are legally prevented from revealing, otherwise you wouldn’t need a whistleblower. A simple FOIA request would suffice.
That’s obviously no justification, all corruption is in someone’s favour. Society functions by rules. Break those founding principles and you break everything.
More that they mistakenly thought that doing the right thing meant they didn't have to do the thing right.

Kinda, but corruption in my favor is unlikely to see me complain about it.

What if the “required procedures” are held in place by corruption?
