That said, I've voted for them in the past, and if they're on the ballot, they'll get my vote. I just dont work with them locally anymore.

It seems to me like people conflate the branch/national not airing dirty laundry in public with them doing some kind of nefarious cover up.

I don't know the details, but you do make a good point.
