If you think someone should not take an action, the burden of proof is on you to prove the action is unethical, not the other way round. This is not the same as a whistle blower unearthing provable crimes. This is someone in the president's cabinet admitting to acting against a duly-elected president's will.

Being duly-elected does not make your actions moral, nor above reproach.
