It would be horrifying if the lawyer did know the answer to the question.

Putin had a need to know the contents of the documents. Maybe they reveal names NCjack Oct 2019 #47

I'm going to guess that the lawyer didn't know the answer, just as he/she stated. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #10

Agree. Be cautious in assuming this means they were DrToast Oct 2019 #16

But the fact that the lawyer doesn't know is very troubling StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #19

Well the Judge wants an answer by Friday DrToast Oct 2019 #20

This lawyer shouldn't know. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #25

The lawyer should know if it was shared with anyone StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #27

How would the lawyer know if, say, Barr shared it with someone? DrToast Oct 2019 #28

That's my point StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #30

Not in this situation. At all. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #29

Lawyers don't "often lie in court" and lawyers lying in court is not "a time-honored tradition" StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #39

Judges rarely do anything about it. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #41

I think a simple "No" would have been the proper response there... Wounded Bear Oct 2019 #13

We're going to need an answer, but it's possible the lawyer just didn't know DrToast Oct 2019 #15

This is HUGE malaise Oct 2019 #14

Oh, and one more thing ScratchCat Oct 2019 #18

To ask that question, does the judge already have an idea of the answer ? OnDoutside Oct 2019 #21

It's very interesting the Judge asked it, yes! DrToast Oct 2019 #22

I wondered that myself. It was a really odd question StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #23
