How regulatory teams navigate political pressure while maintaining professional integrity

Our regulatory team keeps getting pulled between what the law actually says and what our political leadership wants us to find, and we've developed this whole culture of reading between the lines and anticipating pressure rather than just doing the analysis. Everyone knows what's happening but we've never actually talked about it as a team and I think we're all individually compromising in ways we wouldn't if we faced this together.
