People keep saying this but would you really do that? If we make it out of this mess and do some actual investigations to hold people accountable for it all a few years from now, would you be comfortable defending your choice to work for this administration with a statement like “no seriously guys, I was undercover the whole time?” I sure as shit wouldn’t want to. That doesn’t even touch on the host of ethical lines one would have to cross just to keep up appearances.
Good points. However, if you’re already in you’re going to get that anyway. Save some evidence for the book and trial I guess to show you had changed your motive, hope it’s enough. And if you still get in prison, know you did something to change the tide, hopefully.
All that is based on someone who had gone in initially convinced this was a good thing to be in. If you started out with the plan to be the mole, knowing you could be burned as you say, that’s a true patriot there. And few would do that, I agree.
