How is the leadership of this other organization selected? It sounds like a government agency by another name.

  Why not randomly? And that's randomly without jury strikes. There's a reason corporate and government interests have tried to keep more and more matters out of a jury trial -- the outcomes are unpredictable. Which is exactly as it should be. If the people's will were predictable, democracy would be unnecessary. And if a bad investigation is allowed, or a good investigation is stopped... that's a fair price to pay for, on the whole, having greater civil control.

  There are a number of ways to approach it. But even if it's just a different set of elected officials, you'd get inter-agency competition.

    The Progressives thought they would eliminate government corruption by making everything, including the proverbial dog catcher, an elected position. It has not gone well. It turns out the voters can’t be bothered to learn about more than a few top line races. Anything under that is either straight party line or random.
