Sorry. Yes, Special Agent.
They all have homes and mortgages and kids and stuff and need their careers. Anyone who resigns out of outrage is going to be blacklisted forever.

They could make another FBI, maybe call it FBI II

Or the FIB, Federal Investigation Bureau. Saves two letters in the long-name and has a different acronym from the current one, although the fact that "fib" is another word for "lie" doesn't help with their current PR problem.

They'll be blacklisted by the corrupt people if they leave in small numbers, but they'll be viewed with more leniency by the non-corrupt people and the people on the outside, and will be less likely to be blacklisted at all if they go out as a group.

I agree with you but I'm not the one who will have to face those consequences.
