18. I would be.

It's the kind of thing that makes you radioactive.

If she doesn't say what the investigators want, destruction in order to get the right answers is certainly not off the table.

If you give the right answers, destruction in order to revenge breech of confidentiality is also not off the table. Two people know what's been said, and if you say "A" and the client says "B", you have to turn to Putin and his interpreter for validation.

If Putin backs Trump, it's part of the collusion. If he doesn't, Putin's absolutely trustworthy.

But if you divulge confidential information, you're no longer trustworthy. If you say you don't remember, you're a tool and incompetent.

Interpreters are background.

Remember Carter's Polish interpreter? Somebody off on the side heard his translation and put a spin on it. The spin went far and wide. A later review by experts concluded that he was right and the media were wrong. You had to be paying pretty close attention to details in really obscure news sources to learn that. Why? Because the NYT and WaPo and LAT weren't about to say, "Oh, yeah, we listened to somebody who was wrong and seriously destroyed this one guy's reputation because we were lazy." Plus ça change ... все одно и то же будет.
