In the case of Jeanine Pirro, incompetence and sycophancy are the 2 most likely reasons

 
Headline:  New York Times, 2/18/2026

Alan Feuer, Glenn Thrush, and Michael S. Schmidt report:
For reasons that remain unclear, Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally of Mr. Trump, abruptly instructed her team to seek an indictment of the lawmakers, all of whom had served in the armed forces or the intelligence community. Her prosecutors then faced a decision that many in the department under Mr. Trump have confronted: Comply or resist. They chose the first.

GET ME REWRITE: Tricia McLaughlin Clown Show cancelled @DHS

 
Being a sycophant is exhausting work.

Headline:  New York Times, 2/17/2026

Hamed Aleaziz reports:
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security known for her combative style and forceful defense of President Trump’s immigration agenda, is stepping down from the agency, according to two officials with knowledge of the decision. 
Her planned departure comes after a tumultuous month for D.H.S. in which three people were shot by immigration officers in Minneapolis; two died, and department officials have walked back their claims about the third, whose injuries were nonfatal. Ms. McLaughlin had made plans to leave the agency in December but extended her service after the first two shootings, one homeland security official said. 
In a statement, Ms. McLaughlin called the department’s achievements “historic” under Mr. Trump and said, “I look forward to continuing the fight ahead.”

Pay to play the META way

 
Headline:  New York Times, 2/18/2026

Theodore Schleifer and Matt Zdun report:
The sum is the biggest election investment by Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The company was previously cautious about campaign engagements, making small donations out of a corporate political action committee and contributing to presidential inaugurations. It also let executives like Sheryl Sandberg, who was chief operating officer, support candidates in their personal capacities. 
Now Meta is betting bigger on politics, driven by concerns over the regulatory threat to the artificial intelligence industry as it aims to beat back legislation in states that it fears could inhibit A.I. development, company representatives said.  [emphasis added]
