Will Harry Have to Come Clean?

If the politics are handled properly, the svartalves might owe a debt for that -- the transfer and rescue have spared them the dishonor of having Thomas die in their custody waiting for trial.
Regardless of where Thomas is, I expect the svartalves will want an emissary appointed and a hearing held to rule on the attack. That's the point at which it would be really helpful if Harry could present them with the actual culprit and evidence of what happened.

Personally I'm hoping that Marcone tries to force the issue, only for Harry to say where he is and have Etri go "Y'know what, that probably satisfies the demands of Justice, you can let him out whenever, I consider this settled."
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think we will have the Emissary appointed and Harry will present evidence to clear Thomas, although his current condition does mean he can’t be examined for mental tampering. That makes it difficult to clear him.
I think what will happen is that Harry will force a confession in this case, from Eb or Evanna in front of the Emissary.

I doubt it. I think BG will be largely about the battle and no one will have time for this political stuff.
And after that... well, depends how the situation stands after the big battle. Lots of things could happen that would radically change the situation.
If Harry ends up imprisoning the Titan & is therefore publicly revealed as Warden of Demonreach, the svartalves might be a lot less willing to go against him. (And they should know how Harry responds to threats to family...)
Sure, Harry won't use the power of Demonreach for something like that (... probably... I think he might have in Changes if he'd known), but can anyone outside his POV be sure of that?
(BTW, I doubt Thomas was under mind control. So I don't think there is going to be evidence to clear him.)
Conspiracy Theorist:
There is always time for that politics stuff......unfortunately. And Swartalves are not known for letting thing’s slide. Nor is Harry a bully, he hates bullies.
The other point is the weapon of assassination, a bomb, whilst Thomas could undoubtedly build one, it is unlikely he could smuggle it past Swartalf security. Which means it was already in the Embassy, and Thomas was used as a dupe by someone in the Embassy to take it to Etri. Eb could have dead dropped it off on his prior visit, or Evanna could have made it and passed it to Thomas to present to Etri.
If Thomas needed a weapon he could have physically taken one from a guard, lured Gedwig away and broken his neck, taking his weapon.

If the bit about the Hounds is true, then Eb could have easily by time travel dropped off the bomb for Thomas to use.. Or Cowl did, he knows some nasty Ways in the Nevernever which might open on the Embassy grounds.
