There's likely some outright criminals who can't easily send their dirty traceable money into politics directly to buy favors. Seems to me that this helps "solve" that.

I, personally, imagine high odds of a combination of:

overt intentional crime happening in un-subtle ways
disallusioned operational staff with no real reason for loyalty
failure to stop at various "don't do this or we will get caught" lines

If I were any kind of federal investigator, I would look into this with great interest.
