I think if he says something incriminating, there will be (just like the last time) a convenient leak to the press, and depending on what is leaked, it could lead to his demise at UMass.
But I would never count him out. The man has more chits saved up than anyone else in the state.

Have they agreed to have him testify in private? All he has is immunity. I doubt the "privacy" rights he claims will be honored, let alone given any thought. He has immunity, so he can be made to testify in public. Anyway, he'd be wiser to testify at this point, so the issue remains FBI conduct, rather than continue to raise a stink, when it becomes his own conduct that's the focus of this, and many other, hearings.
Even if his testimony creates a firestorm, which undoubtedly it will when he acknowledges he heard from his brother but failed to do anything about it, and he loses his UMass job because of it, he'll fall into some other job paying just as much and requiring even less work. That's Mass. politics for you.
