Firing him in "hopes" of impeding an investigation is a crime.
Like right now, if I fired you
@buckshot24 for not allowing enough oxygen to get to your brain. It would be wrong, especially since you're the Director of your body and possibly have all the tools within your rights to pursue this lack of oxygen thing. Ya know, you just get to be you man. With enough oxygen, do you think you'd become a whole other person that some people might even like? Never mind, you're fired.
Yeah yeah, this analogy only partially works but funny none the less.
The clue you seem to have none of is right there if only you'd take a deep breath and wake up that sorely underused gray mass floundering around in your head. Feed it!
*whispering creepily to you* it's sooo hungry.
