but that their actions could even be questioned is unthinkable. They will tear down anyone that could provide evidence that their reputation is anything but spotless. It's a sign of weakness in their ranks if you score points suggesting otherwise, so they make sure you never do.

It's the pack mentality that's intimidating. When they have other good ole boys who will stand up for them when you know they're all complicit in the same misbehavior. And if there's a lawyer in their circle, there's more to fear since anyone can take you down with a frivolous lawsuit.
