By their unprecedented and legally-murky access level, they're far from "low-level employee".
And for the important folks, we make a loud cry about even their birth certificates and birth parents, so why not this?
All sense of decorum has been burned down long ago, and hilariously, it's been burned down by the same people now pretending to complain here.
If we're gonna make it to the other side of all this, it's going to take another Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, or Roosevelt to restore any of our former dignity. And no, this one's gonna be lucky to have history consider it even a Nixon.

- floatrock 2y agoWe're still in the "burn it all down" phase, and the problem about "burn it all down" is you get burned too, especially if you're in there looting while the house is on fire. We haven't yet found the leaders who will be the ones rebuilding. Maybe we have the ones who will be sitting on a charred throne claiming a burned-out husk of a throneroom in their hard-earned kingdom of ash, but not the ones who will rebuild. So spare me the feigned morality right now, we all know no one's playing by those rules anymore.
