But you think this is all a witch hunt, and that there is no smoke and thus no need for an investigation at all, no?

Again, I don't know where this investigation leads. Many times in legal questions (in both the criminal and civil context), the issues are nuanced and messy and difficult, to where reasonable minds can view the issue very differently. Let's assume for the moment that, ultimately, DTJr. simply is not guilty of any crime. That's fine. But that's a far cry from believing this whole thing is a completely manufactured witch hunt not worthy of investigation in the first place.

OO, out of curiosity on something unrelated: did you believe Lance Armstrong was the victim of a years-long witch hunt?
