Notable Quotes 3
Absent a court order directing otherwise, U.S. authorities will not use or disclose the content of the witness's statements in an interview with U.S. authorities in any matter other than a U.S. criminal investigation or proceeding, and any non-criminal judicial or administrative proceeding directly related to a U.S. criminal investigation or proceeding, pursuant to Article 7 of the Treaty.
The FBI should really understand that any leak of any of this would be pretty terrible.
This weekend's events, which are troubling on many levels, also provide an opportunity in this case. Blackfords's and the witness's anger have been focused on your former USA's public statements. They may now have some greater confidence that they can rely on any statements of confidentiality.
