Why is a lawyer interviewing people illegal?

As a practicing atty, I’ve interviewed witnesses before. Not by deposing them. Not by subpoenaing them. Just interviewing them. Sometimes, I tape it. Sometimes, I’ve had a court reporter there. Sometimes, I just take notes. When I think someone may know something affecting my case, my first step isn’t a subpoena. It isn’t a deposition. I’ call them and talk with them and determine what they know about whatever it is that affects the interest of my client.
There are a limited supply of people I can’t contact - represented parties, people’s doctors. People who live in foreign countries aren’t on the list.
Rudy Guiliani meeting with people in foreign countries isn’t illegal.
It starts being illegal when Rudy gets a secret warrant and listens to their phone calls, or hacks into their emails.

I do not know that it is illegal, but do you not find it odd that the President of the United States is conducting the foreign policy of this nation using not a state department employee, but rather his personal attorney?

oh so Rudy is conducting foreign policy now?

Didn’t they ask to speak to Rudy? That was in the transcript.

It's very odd. It's odd because our FBI is disinterested in getting to the bottom of the 2016 MUH Russia Hoax. By getting to the bottom of the Hoax it exonerates Trump and implicates the FBI and CIA.
Guilani has to go around the FBI because they are GUILTY. Guiliani is doing what any good dense attorney would do for their client: investigate the matter to determine the facts that present an alternative fact pattern that exonerates your client.

You must not know anything about Eric Schmidt. You might want to look into him and his role throughout the Obama presidency. That’s what a private citizen conducting foreign policy looks like.

The state department asked Rudy AND Rudy is looking to clear his client of the bullshite accusations against him. He has an absolute right to do it and the President has an absolute right to defend his good name.

Yes they did. Why? Because they tried to go through normal channels, U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine to the FBI, but they were blocked.

You can add the names Cody Shearer and Sidney Bloomanthal to the Eric Schimdt name.

Why the frick would Trump trust anyone? Every goddamn agency, including his White House staff is infiltrated by leftists hacks.
You people act like Trump was gonna lead the fricking investigation himself and conduct interviews and write reports.
He was asking for their cooperation you twit.

Like Trump can trust any of these Deep State leaking snakes.

Now we know why Trump has not fired ds wray. He does not want the corrupt FBI controlling the investigation.

You can add both the Clintons, post office, to the list as well, through CGI/CF, and Soros through his many foundations. The difference with Schmidt was that it was very out in the open about what he was doing.

How many times do you need this spelled out for you?
Rudy is the personal counsel to the POTUS. He isn’t some family law attorney working on Don Jr’s next vacation home purchase. I wish our president didn’t need an attorney guarding him at all times, but thanks to partisans bent on removing him from office and jailing him over one false pretense after the other, he does. Secondly, the Ukrainians reached out to Rudy first. They involved him, because the “do nothing” DOJ wouldn’t take their calls - likely because of the ongoing Mueller investigation.
Another tragedy in this is that Trumps lawyers are telling him that he can’t even direct the DOJ to investigate because dems will lose their fricking shite. They are right. So, as Rudy explained in his interview with Steph, they put the paper trail out their in hopes that the DOJ would come to them. That’s where we are.

What should be front and center is our FBI turning down Ukraine. So they went to the State Dept and details that are not known yet had Rudy get a call to help.
Posted on 9/30/19 at 9:09 am to 3lsu3
So are you saying even Obama didn't trust the deep state?

I wondered the same kind of thing about John Kerry going to Iran and talking policy with them as a private citizen after he was out of office. I find that even more egregious. Don't you?

Peter Schiff apparently sent a staffer to the Ukraine either to conduct clandestine foreign policy or investigate the WB complaint without the consent of the State department or WH.
Why aren’t people like ProggyHank or the media up in arms about that?

I would find it odd, if he were conducting foreign policy.
I do not find it odd or surprising or illegal or unethical that he learned this info in the course of Representing DJT in defense of the mueller investigation that involved Ukrainian witnesses.

Obama is the deep state. Take a little time to investigate Schmidt’s actions and you’ll find clear differences between his and Rudy’s actions. Personally speaking, I’m no fan of Rudy, but his actions don’t amount to shite compared to what’s been going on the last 20 years.
