I don’t know how anyone with a shred of dignity or self respect can be part of this administration. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

1. I don't think it is that simple

I think about the career folks still in place whose mission is to keep the country safe.
I think about Jimmy Carter requesting to negotiate with North Korea.
There are people whose love of country surpasses all.
They are different than the Sycophant Circus that surrounds trump who are morally and ethically bankrupt.

2. IMO, those people you mentioned are serving their country, not working for Trump.

I have respect and admiration for them. It can't be easy.

6. Civil Servants are hired independently from the President

And are legally considered to be serving the people and Constitution, not a man.

3. People with no integrity work for Trump and then are exposed.

They are exposed when they start covering for him. Their true colors are revealed.

4. Positive feedback loop

People without integrity and getting away with it, working for Trump and lowering the bar to the center of hell.

5. I would rephrase that part about dogs and fleas

Lie down with syphilitic slime lizards and wake up with syphilitic slime.

7. People without integrity work for Trump, and he encourages them

to be the worst they can be. It exposes who they are and makes them more of it. After all, he's the leader who sets the example for his staff.

The fish rots from the head down. Sure, the staff get a lot of the blame and punishment. But Trump is the problem. Pence is also a problem but in a quieter way that draws less attention.
