She knows she can't let her client testify under any circumstances.
When the K team decides to use them in its defense and urges the committee to call them forward, they suddenly under oath gasp out the unpleasant truth that they also were involved in reckless booze & sex-driven parties.

Nonetheless, the left is no doubt urging her, or paying her, to suck it up for the sake of the scam.
You and I are not making any progress, so lets just plan to politely disagree.
