This is akin to a police officer telling the press that his colleagues are incompetent and corrupt. Yes, we all know that, but it is nice to get confirmation on it from someone on the inside.
I am hoping this statement is a signal of, “here is what I’m fighting against” and not a signal of, “here is why I am giving up”.
