Correct.
But it's not like somebody is going to drag the individual into a grand jury.
And in private practice, you don't have that.
So if an employee does not want to talk to you, the outcome there is someone makes a decision whether or not that employee is going to be fired.
And the third thing is there are or could be certain people who might have a Fifth Amendment privilege.
And if you have a Fifth Amendment privilege, a good lawyer, even hopefully a bad lawyer, would tell you not to answer questions in an internal investigation because anything that you would say to lawyers can be used by the government.
It is no longer privileged.
It's your constitutional right.
Oh, 100%.
100%.
The reason why the general counsel is coordinating this investigation is, I promise you, the first draft of that internal investigation is privileged.
100% privileged.
Two things fall into the broad realm of privilege if you're a lawyer.
One, I'm representing you.
Our conversation is confidential.
It's privileged.
Mm-hmm.
Second large category is if I'm doing work to help you as my client, the work that I generate, we call attorney work product, which is also privileged, where this investigation would probably fall into.
Later on, the general counsel or the company or the CEO or the board of directors can make a decision that they want to make
portions or all of this internal investigation non-privileged, but in all likelihood is going to be privileged up until that point.
