There is the culture war but don't ignore the dealmaking and profiteering. This can create the appearance of randomness because any entity can appeal to the executive for favor.

Sounds like in this case either Boeing didn't donate enough or, more likely, nobody wants to f with airliner safety.

"or, more likely, nobody wants to f with airliner safety"

If that would be more likely, Boeing wouldn't be, where it is.

To me it seems more likely Boeing has now too much attention on them, making fraud here even more dangerous/expensive.
