The Never-ending Investigation

Econopundit has an interesting observation about Fitzpatrick and his comment on how the investigation continues:
What jumps into one's mind immediately is Leon Trotsky. Let me explain.

Fitzgerald says the following:

Is the investigation finished? It's not over...[V]ery rarely do you bring a charge in a case that's going to be tried in which you ever end a grand jury investigation.

And Leon Trotsky said:

The permanent revolution...is...a revolution whose every successive stage is rooted in the preceding one and which can end only in complete liquidation.

So Fitzgerald investigates a crime, then investigates peoples' behavior during the investigation, then investigates that investigation, and so on.

The theory of permanent investigation.

I first became acquainted with the permanancy of investions with the "Alar on Apples" fiasco. An investigator is hired, he hires his "staff" to investigate--"is it a problem? If the answer is no, they are all unemployed. If the answer is "yes" they all get to hire a big staff and work for years to figure out how to solve it. Using usual logic, what do YOU think they will conclude?
