"What followed was not a scandal, but something colder: a demonstration of how investigations can be interrupted, institutions thinned, and accountability reshaped without changing the law—only the order in which it is allowed to operate. ...

"One problem when the government consistently lies is that it’s hard to know when (if) it might be telling the truth.
