Watergate wasn't exactly a professional job. Or the Saudi murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Government dirty tricks rarely involve their A team, because when doing something illegal loyalty is even more important than competence.

The ones with self respect decline.

Cf. "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?"

Those with self-respect don't last long in murderous Middle Eastern dictatorships. Why would they even want someone like that around?

Of course, one doesn't detect a great deal of self-respect in the upper echelons of power in more "democratic" nations, either.
