From OP:

As FTC Commissioner Slaughter noted, at Trump's inauguration, the president was surrounded by executives from companies the FTC was actively litigating against.

"This, in a nutshell, is the reason to have agency independence," Shaw wrote. "It’s also the reason agency independence is so threatening to the sort of regime Mr. Trump appears to be trying to create, in which all of government is a mere extension of the president."
