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.
