  1. 1) Executive branch agencies act like they are autonomous. Their policies are directed from within and must not rely only on the direction of the office of the President. From the perspective of a Career government employee , their primary concern is local agency policy and informal organization rather than the temporary presence of an "intruder" (POTUS) regardless of political party or popularity. Under the laws embodied in 5 USC , the legal requirements provide for protection and rights for employees greater than the requirements to follow the laws. One result for all services is the question: Are you here for me? or am I here for your? There is nothing written in Federal Personnel regulations that requires government employees to be diligent, productive , produce quality work or care about anything except pay and benefits. One result is the tendency for 5 USC employees to have a greater control over the administration of the laws than Congress intended. Failure to enforce the laws on immigration which resulted in the current situation is one result. 2) You brought up the subject of HIPAA. In daily practice, HIPAA regulations provide a legal framework of loopholes to access rather than protect sensitive private health information . Most computer databases are physically located external to CONUS and can be freely accessed in other countries that are not required to abide by USA Privacy laws. Is the mere asking a question or making an indiscreet inquiry in a different country illegal? No!
