As a follow up I think he was giving away Stealth Tech.

In the first season he meets up with one of the Russian illegals, someone who had a bad gambling problem. Claudia (who was still known as Grandma at this point) told Elizabeth that it was incredibly advanced technology, I think it was radiation detectors that the general handed over. This season Elizabeth tried to hit up the same general for more and he realized that he made a big mistake in dealing with them and told them no. She threatened to expose him as a traitor to the U.S. at a meeting she arranged with him. He admitted that he had been a fool and pulled a gun. Elizabeth grabbed the gun and finished him off, trying to set the scene to make it look like a suicide.
