There is only one branch of government. The different "branches" are part of the play that the actors put on every year. The director is the same director that directs the intelligence communities and corporate world.

Because many of the actors have parts in multiple "branches," to the outside observer this crossover web of actors and confluence of action creates the illusion of "corruption" and "conflicts of interest." Once you realize it was designed this way from the beginning, you realize It's neither corrupt nor conflicted. It is working exactly as it was originally intended to work, and the wrapping that was covering it when it was sold to the public lied about what was inside.
