I think Robert Caswell should investigate Whitewashgate

Robert Caswell, link, has investigated Public Safety Director
Darren White before. Only then he was Bernalillo County
Sheriff Darren White, and Caswell was investigating public
corruption in the APS Police Department and the criminal
misuse of a federal criminal database entrusted to White's
Department, link. He did such a great job apparently that
his final report needs to be hidden from the public record.

There will be those who argue that with White's retirement,
there is no need for an impartial investigation.

The impartial investigation is not so much necessary to expose
the corrupt and the incompetent, as it is to expose those whose
lack of oversight enabled the corruption and incompetence to
take place.

An investigation ends only when it come to that person in the
chain of command who really didn't know about the corruption
and reasonably, can not be expected to have known.

Everyone else in the chain of command needs to explain to the
community, why they didn't do their part to protect public power and resources from abuse.

Those with nothing to hide, have nothing to fear.

If the question is; do you support an independent top to bottom
investigation, any answer except yes, means no.

Contact your City Councilor, link; tell them you want an outside
independent investigator to investigate Whitewashgate.
