But I do also understand your point.
I have always thought he must know SOMETHING which would be seen as damaging to the U.S., considering his alliance with us some years back. But it seems to me all he would have to do is shut up and take the stand, where he can let slip all the secret info he may have. It doesn't make much sense to take the chance of being muzzled, gagged or thrown out of the courtroom before he has a chance to spill the beans. If I were the judge I would have done all three of those things 2 days ago.
