Certainly being a professional doesn't preclude craven self interest. I was making a narrower point that most professionals are actually pretty fair when it comes to executing their jobs. People take pride in their work and want to get it right and usually are not corrupted by narrow self interest, political beliefs and the like. I would bet that the prosecutors in this case, and their bosses, are people like that. They saw a case demonstrating deep wrong doing, and they spent 18 months or so of their lives running it to ground in a way that helps all of us.
It’s very troubling that the general publics perception of the FBI -and DOJ as a whole- has unfairly taken a beating the last 2 years or so.
Has the FBI ever dropped the ball? Yes, of course they have.
Have attorneys, physicians and hedge fund managers made mistakes? Yes, of course they have.
Humans gonna human.
