I think that this is exactly right and that this would probably have been used, because it sounds so incriminating to many people, to obtain more funding to persecute the Ramseys even further. Lin was merely stepping in to nip the current line of questioning "in the bud" while also avoiding Kane's trying to trap him and Patsy into getting a lack of cooperation into the record.
