At this point who is keeping the federal government in check? They are breaking the law blatantly, one very recent example being the release of the Epstein stuff. Nothing happens, nothing is holding them accountable.

It's only going to get worse, they lose in court and find another angle to keep breaking the law, over and over, there simply isn't enough institutional power in the USA to do anything against it.

When the person tasked with executing the law is a convicted criminal and is ignoring laws himself...
