Sometimes called the fourth branch of government, agencies are packed full of political operatives of recently weaponized bureaucracies. These hacks have power and intention to sabotage our newly elected administration. They are protected from being fired, are often totally unaccountable to the public and the voters, have the awesome power to create "rules" with the same effect as law with protections of anonymity. They haven't been elected to anything and can't be voted out. Their bureaucracies often take on the roles of all three branches of government {legislation, judicial and executive} and lately even have their own armed enforcement officers.
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (link below):
"The administrative agencies that are funded from public money may exercise powers granted by Congress. Without appropriate controls and oversight this practice may result in a bureaucracy (in the original literal sense). Some critics have argued that a central paradox at the heart of the American political system is democracy's reliance on the what the critics view as undemocratic bureaucratic institutions that characterize the administrative agencies of government.[4] An argument made for calling administrative agencies a "fourth branch" of government is the fact that such agencies typically exercise all three constitutionally divided powers within a single bureaucratic body: That is, agencies legislate (a power vested solely in the legislature by the Constitution)[5] through delegated rulemaking authority; investigate, execute, and enforce such rules (via the executive power these agencies are typically organized under); and apply, interpret, and enforce compliance with such rules (a power separately vested in the judicial branch).[6] Additionally, non-executive, or "independent" administrative agencies are often called a fourth branch of government, as they create rules with the effect of law, yet may be comprised at least partially of private, non-governmental actors."
