I guess that this is one form of human nature. If you don’t like a certain individual , I guess you can start an investigation and ask 100 government agents to dig through 1,000,000 piles of documents over the course of 10 years. If the government runs out of money during this extremely important investigation, please do not worry, they will convene an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss raising the taxes on all citizens ASAP.
