The word "expose" is telling here.  Had he wished to provide
evidence or assist the investigation, then this could have been done
without publication.  Giano gave every impression of wanting to
cause maximum damage.  Giano has, since then, done nothing to
correct that impression.

We are not supposed to reach for the tar and feathers here.
