Oh. Well, this is, I guess, my interpretation.
I had been subpoenaed to the MPCC. When I first heard, the government's lawyers told me, “You're free to go for this pre-hearing interview. There's no problem. It's entirely up to you.” I had a July 28 letter saying that.
I said to them, “Fine, I'll go on September 1.” Three days later, they hit me with this section 38 thing. If I did go, I could be charged under section 38, and possibly jailed up to five years, for meeting the legal obligation to assist the MPCC.
I guess I interpreted that as a threat.
