Do you believe announcing a criminal investigation on CNN is an effective method of fighting crime?

.
If the FBI went on CNN to say "Watch out, evil rotten Bo Jiden and your criminal Narpas organization. We're about to do a deep investigation into you!", do you think that would produce good results, or would Jiden and Narpas make massive efforts to hide any wrongdoing once they knew the FBI was after them?

That's essentially the Trump defense in the impeachment trial, that having Ukraine President Zelensky announce the investigation into "corruption" in Parnas and surrounding Hunter Biden .on CNN was the best possible way to fight corruption in Ukraine.

I don't buy it, and I think anyone who does suffers from a severe case of motivated cognition.

    No more than I lend any credence to a supposedly innocent man facing federal impeachment blocking the testimony of witnesses who should be in position to exonerate him.
