Linguistic subterfuge. Every time they tie the proceedings to "unprecedented" language, they use the term "Investigation". Every time they refer to the actual thing that has begun - the Inquiry - they use the proper term, "inquiry". And inquiry is not an investigation, and is not bound by the same principles. It's the thing you do before a trial, to make sure you have all the pieces and parts to the whole puzzle.
