The alphabet agencies know they can do what they want because politicians fear what they will release on those who question them. Very scary situation for we the people.
I don’t know who said this, but I heard that due to all the rules and regulations out there, the average American unwittingly commits 3 felonies a day. This can be held over people’s heads.

Ture and here is another reason:
Any politicians who cut their bloated budgets will be blamed for any failure by those agencies. They will claim that funding cuts were responsible for cutting their resources.
These agencies are self-serving bureaucracies whose primary goal is protection of their careers and expansion of their empires.
