22. Of course that's his view of the evidence. He was ready to indict the guy.

Prosecutors don't go for an indictment if they don't think they have a good chance of winning.

I don't get it, really. There could be no "revelations" in Mr Smith's testimony, because we already know what he thought. Only if we had a line-by-line release of all the evidence he and his team collected would we find any revelations. His opinions, with respect, matter no more than anyone else's.
