I was replying to a comment that said it’s analogous to hiring a lawyer for a court case, but I do think that’s more accurate than jeopardy. If there actually are zero potential ramifications as long as you’re not lying under oath in a private testimony, are there any reasons to hire this guy other than making sure you’ve got your story straight and won’t be caught provably lying? I’ll give you that the argument against allowing the hire is much less clear-cut in that case, but it’s not any less sketchy for his situation.
I mean it’s a pretty common theme to be able to hire somebody to be able to help you prepare for any sort of important testimony any sort of important court case any sort of important meeting etc. It’s really not out of the ordinary for somebody to do this especially so many that’s running business and been involved with politics and other things for such a long time.
