it's also, as @diplomatofnight.com has pointed out, pretty rare for a foreign power's goals to be to completely eliminate any and all officials that might theoretically be able to govern. less regime change than an aim for total collapse and anarchy.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority
