The real bombshell from this interview that no one mentions: The NFL is trying to dissuade Walsh from coming forward, and Specter has seen letters from the NFL saying so.
If this is true, it's horrible for the league and makes Roger Goodell look like a hypocrite. That's what Specter was talking about when he said "light a fire" under this thing. He's giving the impression the NFL has something to hide... basically saying that publicly, the NFL has been throwing the Patriots under the bus, while privately trying to sweep it under the rug.
The government and Specter are not going after the Patriots. Big picture... they are giving the NFL the Microsoft treatment, the same treatment they give every billion dollar corporation.
But remember that according to the Pats, there is no confidentiality agreement that would keep him from talking. . . .
