Answer:
For not receiving any financial help from the grantees, senator Kauffman hands were not tied neither was he unburdened or pressured by the outside forces to undermine the white collar crime investigations.
Step-by-step explanation
In the US the elites that is the political class, bankers and the individual funders do have influence over the State representatives due to their huge donations used in campaigns. In this case Senator Kaufman did not campaign but rather was appointed hence he did not receive any financial help from any third party, therefore his only commitment was to deliver the work he was appointed for.
This differs from other leaders because their allegiance is swayed as they try to please their donors for example; elected officials who received donations from NRA went against the bills that would limit their access to particular weapons.
