provide information present information into a courtroom without that being disclosed, but the bar for that is typically very high but again an espionage cases. that is certainly a concern that the government has. if they can plead, get a plea from this person. they don t have to worry about additional information. additional seat. critz making them out into the public light. so the fact the last thing i ll say is that was also a concern here because when you have a suspect who was facing serious jail time that is often a consideration in whether they cooperate or whether they try to, you know, go out in a hail of gunfire, right? we know this person was a gun enthusiast, so i think for everyone here, the operators, the fbi operators and the suspect the best possible outcome we re seeing on our screen. all right. josh campbell . kim dozier, david priest. thank you and evan perez and colonel cedric leighton. please stay with us. this is cnn breaking news. it is the top of the h
