Sounds to me like you are describing people who don't want to do the work they were hired to do. In most organizations, those people tend to get fired.
and that is one of the things unique about the 'deep state' of public employees. as long as they do their jobs according to laws, rules, and regulations, they cannot be punished for failing to engage in those things which violate the standard operating procedures
and there tends to be a lot of gray area to work within. those employees who have been doing the job for years know how to exploit that gray area to make apolitical determinations
