Bureaucrats

It has been my contention that over the years the bureaucracy has increased its power to the point that it is now the forth branch of government and perhaps the most influential. Recently it has been joined by the press which is trying to protect these bureaucrats from having their influence exposed. They can only operate in darkness because according to the constitution they have no real power. Their job is just to serve the other parts of government but the congress and the presidents over the years have seeded their power to the bureaucrats because it was easier than doing the hard word of governing. That is why they fear Trump because he promised to drain the swamp. He was an outsider who could not be controlled. These bureaucrats are now under attack by the congress and they will fight like a cornered animal. They are convinced that only Biden can defeat Trump and like the last time they have a plan B in case Biden fades. They will partner with the press to have Trump arrested but even that many not work and so the are in a panic. As more whistle blowers come forth their only recourse will be to vilify the whistle blowers.
