Q team has developed a master plan over many years. They have made use of "reverse blackmail" to make the legal system/black hats/congress expose their own corruption. They have done so by understanding the depth of corruption and understanding how the players would respond to various inputs. The team is controlling the situation, but their actions are plausibly deniable. By using normal legal channels with "pre-planned guidance," the subsequent exposure will be undeniable by all except the intentionally blind.
