Thanks for the update. It looks like Sen. Grassley's block on all DOJ business before the Senate Judiciary Committee was successful in gaining additional cooperation from DOJ.

The first is that he'll tow the company line and claim that the Phoenix division was off the reservation.
Well, that one won't help him much since we know he was involved to the level that he was watching the sales via the Internet at his own desk.

The second is that he'll pull the Nuremberg defense and throw one or more of his superiors under the bus.
The quote that caught my eye from your link:

"But in private conversations with congressional investigators in recent days, Melson has indicated he does not believe he did anything wrong because he carried out his bosses’ wishes and is eager to testify to describe the full picture, according to sources familiar with those conversations."

So, I'm guessing he is going with option #2. It will be interesting to see how DOJ responds.
