an investigation is not any form of legal action
Did you mean criminal action rather than legal action? An investigation is a form of of legal action, and legal procedures must be followed in conducting it, right?
It seems to me that a criminal investigation is part of a criminal action, as is a criminal trial.
What do you think the term "criminal action" refers to?
"What do you think the term "criminal action" refers to?"
The terms are specific legal terms - They refer to procedings - An investigation is not an "action"
This was touched on slightly in the hearing, and Black did a little word dance around it - it's about 20 minutes in.
