Good info on both replies, which is very much appreciated. I still have doubts, though, which could be cleared up but probably won’t be anytime soon.

My hope is that some prosecutor, ANY prosecutor in the nation will conduct a Grand Jury investigation of this issue and subpoena documents, compel witnesses to testify under oath, and allow expert testimony.
There are no issues of legal standing to get in the way of a grand jury investigation.
