I think they won't bring him back because he's already dead.

  The government said on Saturday he’s alive. It’s not worth speculating beyond that. From a purely cynical view, it’s better for the rule of law if he is alive as he can be a test case. If he’s dead, that is likely a different court case that could get assigned to a different more credulous or craven judge, plus burn out some time.

    > The government said on Saturday he’s alive. Not exactly a group known to say anything factual.

      I don’t disagree but it at least raises the outrage from the court(s), media, and people if they were lying.

    If you read the exact report, you realize why you want to be cynical. No one was actually met with, no was even called. The lawyer constantly use language to the effect of "to my understading" as means to try and distance himself as far from the case as possible to minimize any potential contempt/sanctions on his end. No one in America legitmately knows what's going on as of now. Maybe Trump does now but we know how that goes.

    I wouldn't trust the El Salvador government to tell me that my shoes are untied.
