He was highly motivated because he had real skin in the game (his own imminent peril) and I don't mean pork kickbacks !!! Our politicians should have real skin in the game. Not just pork kickbacks and a lifetime membership in the political cast system, but real meaningful personal downsides for failure, negligence, misconduct and corruption. Prosecuting a few and imprisoning them like any other common criminals would be a nice start but we all know all of the media and Senate/Congressional hearings are just political theater with no true corrective actions or measured punishments for those in the protected political cast.
