6. That's the problem. If not Congress, then no one.

Edited to add: it's been a loooooonnng time since my Latin lessons, but I think that is saying roughly "Who watches the watcher?" or "Who guards the guardian?" So that's the question I am responding to, whether I'm correct in my translation or not.

4. OMG. Another chunk of checks-and-balances gone. Not many left.
Excerpt: “The irony is overwhelming – how could the federal protector of whistleblowers make a bigger mockery of his agency's mission than this?” asked Danielle Brian, Executive Director of the Project On Government Oversight, adding that members of Congress have already called for Bloch’s removal and employees may now have to rely on Congress to intervene to stop the move. “The pattern of behavior from the Special Counsel certainly indicates he took this job to dismantle the office, rather than its mission."

Yeah, that sounds about right. And it's not even subtle or being done in a secretive manner. Where's the outrage?
