supplementscene: Because if he investigates ZFR you and Rager get to continue your government and there's a decent chance you find a Liberal card.
ZFR likely plays the hand after yours regardless
Consider the possibility of a fascist Joe locking a Liberal out of government. That's not stopping his fascist partner from playing but it is increasing the odds you pick 1 of his fascist buddies into government. That's sub optimal play

We learn nothing from him investigating ZFR because we will still be stuck wondering if he's covering for Hitler, or has honestly investigated.
If he investigates GameRager or I, and determines that person is Liberal, that result can be trusted outside of a strange scenario where both teams have Fascists yet still somehow passed 4L to start the game.
And if he claims Fascist, we know for a fact, either Joe or the person investigated is truly a Fascist and make sure those players do not ever become Chancellor.
Optimum play to me is gaining helpful knowledge instead of wasting abilities. Joe investigating ZFR only tells Joe something.
For the record the table should agree a special election anyway.
