The reason not to investigate 101, 150, or 1000 claims is that there weren't 101, 150, or 1000 claims. Iglesias investigated complaints made, not fictitious whims or drumming up cases without cause. This is one of the most basic facts in this case. This is a man who was invited to teach at a voter integrity conference in 2005!
Circumstantially, it seems likely that these dismissals were retaliatory. To believe that Iglesias and Lam just happened to be for other reasons is exceptionally trusting. In terms of having evidence that is more than circumstantial, that's exactly why there is and should be an inquiry. This isn't a court case, it's fact finding.
