Interesting perspective from you.
Personally, I don't really give a damn about "friendly" witnesses or hostile ones either for that matter. What it really all boils down to for me at the moment is the question of exactly who it is that owns our government. If it's we, the people, then we have a right to information to determine exactly how criminal our government has become. I really don't care about who is embarrassed by any of this. Let the chips fall all over the freaking place. Publish the lot of it, and we will make our own assessment. Screw these people who think they are our lords and masters. I mean really. Screw them all.
I know you don’t. Glad you’re not in charge. One minute after the baddies go down, you will need many of those people. Moreover, no one would EVER trust Sessions, Trump, or the DOJ again if they turned their backs on friendly witnesses or outed good, honest foreign agents.
Most of all, though, the main reason these documents have to be gone through with a fine-tooth comb is that there are about 1 million pages. If Schifty and the Ds find just TEN pages that contradict one or two of the main points, they will be able to nullify the entire impact of the Memo in a week. Then all the “release the memo” crap will have been useless.
Fortunately, Sessions and Nunes understand all this.
