I agree with general sentiment, that things are suboptimal, but when prosecuting people where do you draw the line? This is no easy problem that can be readily

  Well, the default position for everyone who's there should be that they are innocent. Then, Justice needs to investigate, and determine: 1) Was something legally done wrong (could be what we'd consider "morally" wrong, but still legal)? [If yes, go 2)] 2) Does it appear that it was knowingly done wrong? [If yes, go 3)] 3) Is there an evidence trail supporting that it was knowingly done wrong? [If yes, go 4, else, check the separate case for evidence destruction] 4) Does that evidence supply enough burden of proof for specific individuals that a reasonable case could be built against them with a good chance of Justice winning? [If yes, go 5, else, go 6] 5 - yes?) Prosecute as many of those people as possible to signal that bad social behaviour has consequences (similar to the banker argument) 6 - no?) Is there enough to support a general recrimination of the agency and to press for legal changes to its procedures? [If yes, go 7, else, go 8] 7 - yes?) Recommend a set of changes which in the future would help to ensure that insight / oversight isn't just a paper tiger. 8 - no?) Welp, we're boned for now.
