Your ideas on the obligations of employees and public servants is valid if and ONLY if the underlying investigation is honest. "Honest" and "Adam Schiff" (to pick one example) have nothing to do with each other. It also assumes that the Congress (in this case) has authority over the Executive. It does not, except in the narrow case of impeachment.

There's an EXPECTATION that people in public service will cooperate with law enforcement.

Until "law enforcement" can prove to We the People that it is not itself corrupt, and that it is not interested in producing process crimes for political purposes, that expectation must be rejected.

I don't disagree with you. That's why I've said for years that the solution is two-fold:

1. Get the hell out of government if you're an honest person.

2. Shrink government to the point that it is almost non-existent, so the dishonest folks who stay in government have very little authority anyway.
