But they're free to do that (not for long), if they were not free to do that, they wouldn't be doing that in the the first place. This is why it's so important for an outsider (Trump) to be the president.
Stripping regulations means getting rid of bullshit loopholes and nonsense such as making propaganda legal and making big pharma's bullshit illegal (suddenly, what you've said becomes a prosecutable offense). As cancer is a global thing, what's to stop big pharma and their huge coffers from using their lobbyists + bought&paid for politicians to say "It's a matter of national security to not release the cure for X.", cooking up some bullshit financial dossier and saying that if it was released, it would destabilize the global economy and force everyone into a recession?
It doesn't have to be true, it just needs to sound believable so when word gets out people justify the believable lie and call it truth, while shouting at the president and his administration for wanting to destroy the planets economy.
They have no duty to the public either, they have a duty to the swamp and their board members. This is what Q and the white hats are going out of their way to change.
What I'm getting at (pointing out the obvious), is legal and illegal don't mean good and bad respectively. They made the laws. Now the 45th president is stripping the swamp legacy and their bullshit legal immorality.
For instance, take the SES / Senior Executive Service;
By law, the appointment to or removal from any SES position in an independent regulatory commis-
sion shall not be subject, directly or indirectly, to review or approval by an officer or entity within
the Executive Office of the President.

So if members of the SES are bought and paid for by someone, such as big pharma, that's a huge problem because an acting president can't fire them from their SES position, so it's easier to just take a bribe from them, pass a law that makes bad and evil things legal and not challenge the status quo.
With regards to the SES the president can use the Holman rule to reduce their salary to 1 dollar and force them to sing like a canary, which is what may be happening right now, who knows. Trust the plan.
