ຖ້າເຂົາມີພັກພວກສະໜັບສະໜູນ ບໍ່ຄວນດຳເນີນການຕໍ່ເຂົາຢ່າງເປີດເຜີຍ; ຖ້າກົງກັນຂ້າມ ຄວນບັງຄັບໃຫ້ເຂົາຄາຍ/ຄືນຊັບສິນຜ່ານມາດຕະການກູ້ຄືນ।
Avoid direct, public action when the target has strong backing; use indirect methods or wait for conditions that reduce political blowback.
When the official lacks factional protection; then the state can compel restitution and proceed more directly.
