Notes: Law 4 - Trusted Investigations

Precedent: Special Counsel Framework

  • Special counsels operate with independence from DOJ
  • But they are still government employees, appointed by government officials
  • This law goes further by giving investigation authority to non-government individuals

Precedent: 9/11 Commission

  • Independent commission with subpoena power and classified access
  • Commissioners were private citizens
  • Produced public report with classified annexes
  • The model of civilians leading investigations with government resources has precedent

Precedent: Congressional Investigation Powers

  • Congress can appoint independent investigators and grant security clearances
  • Security clearances can be mandated by statute
  • Agencies cannot use clearance denial as obstruction

Key Improvement: Schedule A as Mandatory Investigation Framework

The major improvement is that Trusted Investigators must specifically pursue the 175 items:

  1. Section 6 enumerates 8 mandatory investigation categories from Schedule A
  2. Section 6(b) requires individual tracking and reporting on each item
  3. Section 11(b) requires final report to address all 175 items individually
  4. Section 4(a) gives teams access to all Schedule A records from Laws 1 and 2

Analysis

Pros

  • Solves the self-investigation problem of Law 3
  • 175 items as mandatory investigation targets ensure comprehensive coverage
  • Multiple independent teams (6 total) make suppression nearly impossible
  • Government employees do the actual investigating, preserving operational capability
  • Trusted investigators choose their teams, preventing agency sabotage
  • Personal security provisions (Section 9) protect investigators
  • Succession mechanism (Section 10) ensures continuity
  • Anti-surveillance provision prevents agencies from spying on investigators

Cons

  • Naming specific private citizens in legislation is unusual
  • Three sets of parallel investigations may create coordination challenges
  • Granting security clearances by statute is aggressive (though precedented)
  • Appointments Clause challenge possible
  • No mechanism if all three investigators are compromised

Key Strengths

  • Volunteer mechanism self-selects for people who want to find truth
  • Confidential requests prevent preemptive retaliation
  • Multiple independent teams create redundancy
  • Schedule A integration ensures no lead is ignored

Interesting In This Area

  • The 9/11 Commission put private citizens behind subpoena power, which this draft extends.
  • Clearances can be mandated by statute, so clearance denial cannot become obstruction.
  • The current notes add the Schedule A tracking requirement.
  • Law 3's notes supply the Warren Commission counter-example.
