Rodreguez sees what happen to Gonzales and he's next. Once your of no need to the GOP they push you under the bus, but it's worse if your a minority then they don't even know you. If Rodriguez does talk he might not live to see his trial. Remember what that other man said he knows were the bodies are hidden.
