THE quintessential dwarf
Get your popcorn ready
These are the sort of people you hire for an independent investigation?
wow, we're on to triplicate posts, now.
So let's say there was an independent investigation into Roy Moore, and they uncovered information that proved him to be a pedophile. Are they no longer independent if suddenly they're disgusted by him?
Who do you hire? People with no political interests whatsoever?
Hate to break it to President Dipshit and the GOP Congressional Dipshits, but I'm pretttttttty sure the federal government can't fire its employees for expressing political opinions in their individual capacities (let alone merely HAVING political opinions). I think maybe there's an Constitutional amendment about that, so I'm surprised the GOP isn't aware of this, being all about the Constitution and all. Freedom of something or other.
There is a difference between firing a federal official from his or her position entirely and having him or her not serve on a special investigation team that is investigating very politically charged matters. The "optics" don't look good. The optics are also bad when two people on an investigation team are having an affair.
Sure but does it invalidate the investigation?
So I'll ask you the same question nobody else has answered. Who should be conducting this investigation?
People who aren't involved in cheating and lying in a significant aspect of their lives. People who don't have expressed views that the subject is guilty before the investigation begins, who are more holding to the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" as opposed to "let's find enough evidence to convict this guilty person."
Someone who views the evidence and follows where it leads, not someone who either:
Believes the subject of the investigation is a guilty POS and needs to find evidence to support that view
or
Believes the subject can't possibly have done whatever is being investigated and therefore is looking to find evidence to support that view.
