Apparently, "Religious freedom" includes protecting the Mormon Church AT ALL COSTS. Oaks believes "everything may be sacrificed" for the church if necessary.
He's a lawyer, he fully understands the words he selects, and the word "everything" means "without exception". That then would include the obstruction of justice prospect in the Mark Hofmann bombing case, or the Blood Atonement doctrine of the JoD.
Apostle Dallin H. Oaks:
"My duty as a member of the Council of the Twelve is to protect what is most unique about the LDS church, namely the authority of priesthood, testimony regarding the restoration of the gospel, and the divine mission of the Savior. Everything may be sacrificed in order to maintain the integrity of those essential facts. Thus, if Mormon Enigma reveals information that is detrimental to the reputation of Joseph Smith, then it is necessary to try to limit its influence and that of its authors."
(Inside the Mind of Joseph Smith: Psychobiography and the Book of Mormon, Introduction p. xliii f28)
