The most credible advantage of the agreement to the President's case was the agreement that Rice would be the only advisor to testify. This makes the "one-off" theory, to be put forth in the future, much more plausible than if they had requested other advisors to testify. Simply having her testify without the agreement might have left the door open to creating a stronger precedent than what will be created now.Mind, I still don't get why her testifying earlier in private didn't have the same effect as testifying in public.
