The problem, as it has materialized since 2016, is the weaponization of the nation’s top law enforcement apparatuses by what is known as “an “iron triangle” or mutually supportive relationships between bureaucratic agencies, special interest groups, and legislative committees with dominion over particular areas within the government.
According to the website from the grassroots organization, Center for Renewing America, “these actors hang together to thwart outside reformers seeking to alter established policies. These triangles ultimately exist to retain power and promote their members’ predilections irrespective of impact on the general welfare.”
It is these powerful entities that work continuously to ensure that the power structures from which they benefit will not be altered by outside forces such as the citizenry.
This law will ensure that the federal government can only utilize local and state law enforcement resources for criminal cases versus intelligence operations/investigations of those who the federal government may deem as problematic because of their conservative values, their religious beliefs or even their open support of former president and current front runner for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump.
