Bigger than the POTUS? And why wasn't the previous Clinton administration captured?

But it's actually quite clear from the article that the regulators are not politicians:

> In a modern society, that third party is an expert regulator who investigates or anticipates problems in their area of expertise and then makes rules designed to solve these problems.

> To make these rules, the regulator convenes a truth-seeking exercise

> the regulator—who is a neutral expert, required to recuse themselves if they have conflicts—makes a rule, citing the evidence on which the rule is based.
