The following is from a tweet by Mr. Nobuo Ikeda, which I just discovered.

If he does not tell the source of information, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office may arrest Konishi and get the name of the bureaucrat who leaked the information.
In the Nishiyama case, the issue was the secrecy of the telegrams, but since this case is designated as secret, confidentiality is obvious.
Even newspapers do not publish raw documents.
It is because, as in the Nishiyama case, the source of the leak can be easily identified.

Unless the official who handed the suspicious document to Senator Konishi comes forward, there is no way that MIC will admit that they are violating the National Public Service Law, so that they will deny it in the end.
It is almost sure that Senator Konishi's suspicious document will be a fabrication.
