One MP getting tossed for taking bribes doesn't discredit the whole parliament. Same thing holds for any organization, Spectres included. The Council revoked the guy's Spectre status as soon as they had proof he'd gone rogue, and sent me to take him down.

[Shepard can't honestly claim to be a fan of the Council, but she's not getting into her universe's politics over one person being weirdly confrontational.]
