"No investigation needed..."

Don't be silly. The investigation is essential to finding someone expendable, someone without legal representation, someone 'waaaay down the chain of command, to crucify for the mob. "Yes, it's true. He did it. If only I'd known when I took him to my bosom what a person of not high ethics he was. And even now we are investigating more and more, to determine if any other otherwise insignificant persons are implicated in this betrayal of R'osity's moral high ground, so rest assured we will know the truth about this heinous crime, and tell you as much as we like...."

Did you think an important person was going to take responsibility? Where do you think we are? Japan?
