30. Isn't that what investigations are for?

Or do we just sit around on our heinies and wait for it to drop from the sky? Not sure if you're familiar with some of the more famous investigations, back when we had a functioning DoJ. Abscam perhaps? Many others. My point being, prosecutable evidence rarely just magically appears. Sometimes you have to work for it. Like the old saying, if there's smoke, I bet you there's a fire somewhere. Maybe we should go check that out.
