This editorial is an attempt at covering their asses once things fall apart. "See, we weren't part of the crimes! We were secretly the heroes! We're on your side."
If so - and I have no evidence whether it is or is not - then this would be political staffers covering their asses. Professional civil servants are responsible to the sovereign authority, not to the person who happens to have been elected most recently, and theoretically don't have an opinion on who should be elected.
Which again would mean that I owe Rajvik an apology.

I shan't explore conspiracy theories, or try following the money and determining who benefits from the current situation.
I'll just say that it's generally accepted that in the United States of America, sovereign authority is embodied by The People. I shan't attempt to define "The People"; that's a job for the United States Supreme Court.
