Cooper asks what’s the relevance of those researchers? Defilipis says that it is “fair game” to probe Lichtblau on the circumstances and what they had vis-à-vis Sussmann.
Defilipis says the communications are “highly probative.”

Defilipis says they DOJ should have exhausted all avenues before calling Lichtblau. Defilipis says they talked to three researchers and GPS folks took the 5th and Joffe testified before grand jury. Judge asks Defilipis why he didn’t immunize Joffe? Defilipis doesnt answer.
