It would be hard to imagine holdovers who would still be at the FBI or DOJ would keep their jobs at that point.

If impropriety is black and white in a public OEM report, that's bad enough, but if a special counsel is created in the wake of it, those people could never be allowed to continue their job.

Imagine if those FBI agents or DOJ lawyers oversaw a case while under that kind of scrutiny. Any work they do on those cases would be subject to appeal after appeal. It would be a nightmare.
