Well...
If WE know about this plan; that they even put a name on it...
WHY IS NOBODY BEING PROSECUTED FOR IT?!?!?
Sometimes, like MI6 would do, is to let them run with it so you can collect up all/as many of the criminals you can.
Whats gonna happen is that the POTUS will use this as a political wedge issue to win his re-election and in the meantime, slowly pick the grapes off the cluster and prosecute them one by one.
What is happening now, I would suppose, is they are trying to find the next group of untouchables-Elliot Ness types, to do the job of prosecution.
