This one's easy. First off, there was no point in trying to recruit anyone who couldn't occlude extremely well, and Hydra had said she couldn't read him.

Second, he'd reported to me for a couple of years at that point in MEU. I thought there was a good chance he'd switch sides, if only because he thought our side was more likely to win.

Ironically, I had no idea he was involved with Dogstar, even though I'd been a member.
