Well I guess that’s where the idea of the “deep state” or “shadow Government” comes from. Obviously I don’t think it’s true to anywhere near the extent that many conspiratorially minded people do, but I think there could be some truth to it, in that there are bureaucrats (especially in intelligence) in many countries who probably do have too much power and too little scrutiny and accountability over what they do, who manage to keep their positions for long periods of time and abuse their positions for various ends and reasons.
