It's in 3 pieces, the first piece is here

It also paints a scathing image of the collusion between the FAA and Boeing, to the point where FAA has completely lost all creditability, and makes you wonder what will happen in the rest of the world when the FAA, once again, rubber stamps the Max and clears it for a return to service.
The politicians on both sides of the atlantic are smart: rather than pressure Boeing or get in trouble with the US they will say nothing and just wait until the next crash. At that point Boeing will not be able to buy themselves out of trouble, and the public will pay to have the FAA resume a major check role.
