Speaking personally, I agree a hundred percent. Putting myself in his shoes, I'd slow crawl over broken glass to see this through, just so I could flip 'em off with a grenade pin around my middle finger. And I do think that muckraking in this case would backfire, unless it was super duper bad.
Something else that just popped into my head. If there's federal criminal charges in the main B investigation - which I think there are now - this makes whatever happened here potential federal territory.But look at the timing: March 9 he dies, March 12 federal charges roll. So that's interesting. I don't want to go full tinfoil hat here - it's really tempting to do that, and the stuff he was testifying about was, on the surface, unrelated to the criminal charges - but the timing is extremely interesting.
Or maybe he received a phone call: "We know about <that> mistake you made <years> ago. / We will publish what you said on <that> ocasion about <gays / women rights / racism / other sensitive subject>."
That wouldn't destroy the man though. People say shit all the time.
It would have to be something much more damaging to his character like child abuse or something, and well cooked too.
Even then, the timing is wrong. He'd wait and deliver his lawyer shot first, or cancel the case.

Makes no logical sense before he'd even completely finished giving the deposition.
It was his golden ticket to stick it to the people who'd screwed him over.
Can't really see anyone passing up that opportunity. Then probably hanging around to watch it play out (for good or bad, etc). ;)
