More than 58 percent of voters agreed with the statement that key agencies of the federal government such as the EPA, CDC, and IRS \u201chave grown too large and only serve their own political interests.\u201d Just about 1 in 3 Americans said the agencies were \u201cuseful and effective\u201d to implement laws passed by Congress. Less than 9 percent were unsure. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>The survey revealing nationwide distaste for the Washington bureaucracy comes as Democrats prepare final passage of their $750 billion-dollar spending bill which includes funding for nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/29\/build-back-better-bill-would-fund-86000-additional-irs-agents-to-sic-on-american-taxpayers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">87,000<\/a> new federal agents for the IRS. <\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Justice Department sowed more distrust in the nation\u2019s preeminent law enforcement agency with an <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/09\/search-warrant-or-not-americans-wont-believe-the-fbi-raid-on-trumps-florida-home-was-justified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unprecedented<\/a> raid on the private home of a former president, ostensibly over potential violations of the Presidential Records Act. Prosecution under the 1981 law, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/trump-mar-a-lago-raid-2024-ballot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a> to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, is rare. Prosecution of Trump, however, has remained a top item on the Democrats\u2019 policy agenda since 2016 with two impeachments and a post-presidential committee established to indict Trump supporters and probably the former president himself over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. <\/p>\n<p>A series of politically motivated investigations and episodes of malfeasance from both the FBI and IRS in particular over the last decade have given Americans good reason to cast doubt on the integrity of beltway institutions. <\/p>\n<p>Last year, Senate Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/05\/20\/senate-republicans-propose-irs-rule-to-prevent-repeat-of-2013-obama-tax-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">introduced<\/a> the \u201cDon\u2019t Weaponize the IRS Act\u201d to codify a Trump-era rule passed last year aimed at stopping the IRS from targeting 501c4 tax-exempt groups based on their political ideology. The bill is designed to prevent a repeat of the 2013 tax scandal wherein the IRS applied undue scrutiny to conservative groups under Lois Lerner, but it has yet to move out of committee as Democrats double the agency\u2019s size. <\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice (DOJ) has repeatedly undermined its own credibility by its deep state operations to bring down Trump. Monday\u2019s raid was just the latest episode after fostering a years-long coup attempt in the form of a made-up scandal to frame Trump as a Russian agent. <\/p>\n<p>In July, Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley unearthed new evidence indicating that the FBI interfered in the 2020 election. Senior officials within the FBI, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/news\/news-releases\/whistleblowers-reports-reveal-double-standard-in-pursuit-of-politically-charged-investigations-by-senior-fbi-doj-officials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a> to multiple whistleblowers, worked to dismiss information related to President Joe Biden\u2019s son, Hunter, as disinformation while amplifying anything that could derail Trump. The whistleblower report offered more evidence to<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/27\/grassleys-whistleblower-report-vindicates-trumps-proposal-for-a-swamp-purge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> justify<\/a> Trump\u2019s second-term plans to gut the capital administrative state detailed in Axios just days prior to Grassley\u2019s findings becoming public.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
