The inability of US government not to leverage 702 for immediate political gain of current political in power. will be its certain downfall unless certain guardrails are added in place, namely to focus on US person vs non-US-person.

But i would prefer the US-person definition to exclude the corporate part (due to foreigner's dark-money, US-based, shell corporations), but not holding my breath there.

Or unless its use to gain political power is successful and entrenches the oligarchy and cements 702 in place.
