Even if the Gadol is well acquainted, it still debases him and his position when he meddles politics.
Politics is low, and to see a Rav job that field, for any reason, is terribly debasing no matter his motivation. This is obviously no better than what it says in Sanhedrin 52:
למה תלמיד חכם דומה לפני עם הארץ בתחלה דומה לקיתון של זהב סיפר הימנו דומה לקיתון של כסף נהנה ממנו דומה לקיתון של חרש כיון שנשבר שוב אין לו תקנה.
