You say that as if members of US government agencies didn't plot terror attacks on Americans (Operation Northwood), steal the medical records of American whistleblowers (Ellsberg), had to be prevented from assassinating American journalists (Gordon Liddy, on Jack Anderson), collude to assassinate American political activists (Fred Hampton), spy on presidential candidates (Watergate), sell weapons to countries who'd allegedly supported groups who'd launched suicide bombing attacks on American soldiers (Iran-Contra), allow drug smugglers to flood the USA with cocaine so that they could supply illegal guns to terrorists abroad on their return trip (Iran-Contra again) and get caught conducting illegal mass-surveillance on American people as a whole (Snowden). Among others.
It's super-naive to suggest that government agencies wouldn't act against the interest of American citizens and companies because there might be consequences if they were caught. Most of the instances above actually were instances where the perpetrators did get caught, which is why we know about them.
