He was MI6 i believe. He is brit National Security to his eyeballs. Can be and will be are not the same

He has no leverage through his MI6 background. This isn't a case where he was involved in an intelligence-gathering operation in some backwater in Africa. He was a key player in a foreign campaign to undermine a presidential election in which the target of his work ended up winning the damn election.

In intelligence parlance, the British government has a huge incentive to treat him like a "kite" and cut him loose.
