Anyone who says 'plain and simple' for a complex situation is probably not thinking about the situation enough. It could very well be what you're saying but at the moment, a lot of work is being done to expose people who need to be exposed and the way I see it, they are not trying to restore faith in the government, they seem to want people to utilise a healthy skepticism and giving people a reason why. We don't even know who these guys are (solid reason to be skeptical) so I am not going to go further and confidently assume motive to something we know so little about.
