They could afford to pay lawyers to wear out their opponents and bury any opposition as well as threats of defamation lawsuits when called out publicly. Now as public officials, they can't hide behind privacy laws and their opponents tend to be well financed and with lawyers every bit as good as any they can hire.

After some big and public losses, they might develop a degree of introspection if they aren't removed from office first.
