Yeah, i'm just saying they don't regard him as either an actual insider or a real threat. If he starts acting like one, that could change, of course.
I still think it is a deliberate distraction from the discovery that she was involved with a radical muzzie publication.
He was not in the public sphere anymore nor likely ever would be again so most likely he will take his hits here for a news cycle and then golden parachute into obscurity.
Unless,as you say,he renegs and goes rogue.
Then his suicide will be inevitable.
