Interesting... it doesn't preclude a full-blown criminal investigation and would have no effect on anyone who has subpoena power.

You missed the joke. They started with the guy next to Harvey Weinstein. Then went to Harvey Weinstein.

Was the DOH running a criminal investigation? Or was it administrative?

It sounds like they did their damnedest to take care of themselves, without regard for anyone else's problem. They might have hindered the investigation, but they did not torpedo it.

The sanctions don't target the North Korean people. The reason they're starving is not because of sanctions. The sanctions are the reason it's hard for Kim Jong Un to get anyone fun to come to his birthday party.
