I’m sure the inspectors general will keep an eye out for this. It would be very bad for the reputation of the administration to have blatant corruption at the top levels.

The dude who runs Homeland Security accepted bags of cash from the FBI [1]. (The case is being dropped. For good and bad reasons.)

Meanwhile, DOJ prosecutors are being fired for not following partisan marching orders [2].

I assume your reply is sarcastic, but just in case, I'll say it directly: this administration does not care whether there is blatant corruption at the top levels, or any other levels for that matter. I'm fact, insofar as it antagonizes liberals, they'll encourage it.

One of the first things the Trump admin did was fire a lot of the inspectors general, including the one for the State Department.

I'd assume the reply you are replying to is being sarcastic specifically in reference to that event.

There's currently an (Acting) IG for State as a replacement, but I think its pretty clear how long that job would last for him if he were to actually do it.
