If they were all Chris Wray, we’d have a pretty good government.
Not a perfect one; there can’t be a perfect one, because the challenges of governance in a free, first-world society — chief among them balancing liberty and security — are hard, and they have to be met by people, who are by nature flawed. But we’d have a good government if we had able but modest people who rolled up their sleeves, quietly went about their business (especially if their business was best done quietly), conceded error or worse when it happened (which it inevitably does), and tended to the work of trying to fix things that have gone wrong.
