Pretty sure you mean 'you are [not] privy to knowing.'

Also, I don't believe power corrupts anyone. I believe that corrupt people seek power, and then are corrupt wielding that power. They, all liars to a man, lie and say 'the power corrupted me' when they get caught. But, they were corrupt before they ever got the power.

If you look really hard, you can find examples of people that weren't corrupt when they sought power, and were not corrupt when they got power. The power did not corrupt them, and they were not corrupt with, or without, power.

Corrupt people corrupt power.
