Having worked with government agencies, I can attest that the total lack of oversight invites corruption.
Many government jobs start with a low wage then include such responsibilities as staff meetings, record keeping, etc. as required-but-unpaid-for activities. As a result, some people begin resenting their jobs. From there it is a small step to seeing just what they can get away with.
As I've alluded to in previous posts, I've worked with some folks who've run afoul of the law in this and other ways.
Now, the FBI is focusing more and more on people who illegally dip into the till. Good luck to them. Given the numbers of government employees in this country, they've got their work cut out for them.

Interestingly, a Senator [and a Democrat, at that] is calling on the FBI to redirect its energies toward violent crime rather than focusing on corruption. I disagree. Both are serious and need to be addressed.

For years law enforcement had focused on street crime and ignored big money crime. The place to start, I think, is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
oh, they won't go THAT far!
they'll investigate the same folks they've been catching all along--the ones who nickel and dime the system to death.
the ones who're committing hiway robbery will be hailed as Great Benefactors!
Most likely, you are right..... unfortunately.
I did think it sad that a Dem was the one to come out against the FBI's plan.
