The article you originally linked to suggests appointing a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of the FM mess (I only just now had time to read all the way to the end, sorry).
I think this is a fine idea.
We should also appoint an independent prosecutor to get to the bottom of the Department of Justice mess. One with full subpoena powers and the power to jail any witnesses who refused to show up for questioning for contempt of court.
Or we could just put all *those* documents on the web for anyone to Google. But seriously, if the current administration had access to the server, just how long would that last? Which is also the problem with the FM mess, actually. No, the independent prosecutor would be the way to go.
We all want transparency, and it's about time we got it. Some things are just too important to leave in the dark.
