4. Jeffrey Toobin's "Opening Arguments" is another really good book on the Walsh investigation

The Ollie North case was Toobin's first job out of school/passing the bar.

The lengths every single person on Walsh's team had to go through to avoid any knowledge of Ollie's uniformed ( thanks to Joe Biden) testimony was amazing. He couldn't watch TV, read the newspaper at home (edited versions were available once the staff got to the office), the even blacked out the windows to their offices. The protocols were set up by Silberman and overseen by an ex-military officer type who was clearly hostile to the investigation. Periodic reports to Silberman's court verified that all protocols were being followed even exceeded.

Silberman's court (dominated by him) eventually used the failure to follow the protocols as the basis for giving Ollie a pass. He was clearly guilty of lying to Congress and basic theft. His alibi for having squirreled away money in shoeboxes (to buy a truck and a security fence & cameras) was proven to be false as well as just being absurd.
