Yes, this is human nature and the socio-political nature of human groups. It has always been so. That's why we have the most elaborate system of Constitutional checks and balances and the world's freest press. In my opinion, the electoral process is the citizen's essential safeguard against such abuses. We are well-protected against governmental misdeeds. At some point, pursuing these safeguards ad infinitum simply renders the government powerless and unable to govern.
