With so talented a group as the Stasi who were able to worm their way (if
that's
what you call it) into a president's pants, one has to wonder how come the
government who employed them has disappeared from the face of the earth?

Simple,FRG intel services,unlike US,put every innocent looking flirtation of
FRG politicians and officals under the magnifying glass and many times the
name
of Markus Wolf appeared behind these relations.
FRG was pretty succesfull in this regard.

If it was that simple, please explain why they were unable to whip out their
trusty magnifying glasses and find some way to prevent themselves from
disappearing with hardly anything of note left behind?

BTW, assuming that English isn't your native tongue, my original question was
really rhetorical (one that didn't require an answer) as is this one. I make my
point simply by asking a question.....the answer (if any at all is given)
doesn't matter.
