This is a preventative for the mistakes made during Iran-Contra. Ollie North got a free pass by testifying under oath with a grant of immunity. That happened because the evidence against him was leaked to the committee and the press, giving him a clear shot to demand his right to defend himself. No, this time the evidence stays under wraps until a grand jury sees it first.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
