I've worked in multi-billion dollar business units, and know for an absolute fact that the CEO was unaware of details in our marketing pipeline.
I've also dealt with export controls on this exact stuff, and I believe that someone knew they were breaking the law. Again, my guess is that was a business unit VP, because that's how this crap works.
But take your "your political movement" and shove it. If the dude is guilty, do something about it. I truly don't give a damn. I don't know much about this guy. I do know that Intel is in a world of hurt regardless of whether this dude is a crook or not. And you can't convince me that Trump has a single clue one way or the other.
I also know hat you won't apply this logic to anyone that agrees with Trump.
