    About that review

    The review of the scientific data needs several aspects to it. An independent group of qualified scientists needs:

    • Access to all raw data generated by FBI scientists and scientists doing work for the FBI. Full documentation of methods employed and all results are needed for the review to be valid.
    • The review group needs to have the opportunity to interview the scientists both inside and outside the FBI to find out if the reports emanating from DOJ match the results they generated.
    • The review group needs access to RMR 1029, the actual attack material from the Leahy and Daschle letters and reference samples of both non-weaponized and weaponized material from Dugway and South Jefferson so that they can carry out their own independent analysis to confirm the results obtained by and for the FBI. Reference material from any other facility capable of producing the material also should be submitted should a miracle occur and Mueller actually name additional facilities after the break.

    As suggested by Glenn, this scientific work should be carried in parallel with, and coordinated with, an independent evaluation of all other evidence generated in the case.
