It happens because the EPA or other agency being sued is a willing participant in the lawsuit. The bureaucrats realize they don't have authority to do what they want so they help Kooky Environmentalist Organization sue them for not doing their jobs the way KEO thinks they should. The agency concedes so-called legal "facts" in court and no only establishes a duty to do as the KEO wants but may even help steer taxpayer funds their way by agreeing to pay legal costs.

Since the AG doesn't want to take action against David Gregory or the IRS or VA officials, s/he uses prosecutorial discretion and declines to pursue the case "in the best interests of the taxpayer".
