Cleaning out a rogue network?
Lets say that a network of rogue/traitor/compomised by corporation-foreign gov-dr.evil/moles are suspected of commiting serious crimes against the american people but that this network controls key positions at the top of the hiearchy of the FBI/CIA/blackops/military...? How can this network be rooted out if they control the very agencies that should root them out, and how could security be assured for a proscecutor that might be the target of assasination by highly trained and dangerous assassins/military/etc which might be even part of the security detail?
I guess Ill have to watch mutiny on the bounty or the caine mutiny or something

You know, a good place to discuss this would be if we were talking about another country like Ukraine (or maybe Russia) where the government basically is run by the mafia. Almost any major government official has to be owned by them in order to climb to a position of power, or at least concede something.
You're not going to get anywhere through official channels, because they're all a sham anyway. The laws only apply to non-mafia. I think the only way you're going to beat them is by playing their own game better than they do. What you need is a second shadow network.
Right now, the mafia can assassinate, but they themselves are virtually immune to assassination by outsiders. (They may assassinate one another from time to time, but not in a way that endangers the enterprise as a whole.) Their whole system works on the basis of being immune to retaliation. So I'm wondering:what if you were to revoke that immunity? Take their own fight back to them? Give them their own medicine? I don't think they'd be so brave anymore.

The Caine Mutiny was carried out by the officers, not the enlisted folk, so it might or might not square with what you're talking about. Hard to say.
