They elected him President.

Maybe what he's worried about is Eddie's information making it harder for him to secure the nation that elected him President.

Eddie you and Bradley violated the law. Under the rule of law, that means you end up in court. Yes we are "afraid" of people who break the law. That's why we made laws to restrain them.
