A witness who has a case in court shouldn't come before the committee and make essentially legal arguments. This committee is not a place to make legal arguments. So I would hope Mr. Abdelrazik's counsel would advise him that if he is before this committee, he is not to use the opportunity before the committee to essentially argue the case he has before the courts. Presumably he's before the committee for other reasons, to discuss or address other issues. I'm not sure. But here before the committee wouldn't be the place for him to argue his legal case.
