You know what's funny, I hold the same opinion as you do on domestic judicial matters precisely for that reason. I didn't bat an eye when the justice department made statements about the Russian investigation without presenting proof prematurely because there is judicial review. An investigator makes shit up or steps out of line, he may face a judge.
What you're missing is no one holds the federal government accountable in foreign matters. There is no checks and balance at that level except for the people, and shocker, the press. We laugh at international tribunals and "chastisement" by UN observers. We ignore their inspectors and go in guns blazing anyway.
