With all the leaks how can anyone not see wade as vindicated on not talking?

The man is about to be questioned in a federal trial and yet some on here blame him for not talking to the leakiest department outside of Washington with officials whose only interest is self preservation

I don't blame him, but I don't blame the administration for putting him on administrative leave until it's over

While he is under subpoena, based on the information released to date, Wade will not be testifying in the April trial. Nothing about the two conversations is relevant to the case against these defendants. Just because a party has him subpoenaed does not mean the judge is going to allow him to testify, his testimony has to be relevant before it will be allowed.

These defendants are accused of bribing coaches at Oklahoma State, Kansas, TCU, Creighton and NC State. Dawkins phone calls with Wade had nothing to do with this.

The reason the Dawkins' defense team is leaking this information is because none of it going to be allowed at trial and they are trying to tell a narrative of "everybody does it" (so its voluntary and not a bribe) through the media.

UNC academic fraud should have showed us the way to handle this. Go silent on everything and make NCAA prove it.

They both took the right steps.
In fact, if I represented Wade, I would have WANTED administrative leave for my client. To have left him on the job would have subjected him to having microphones put in his fact to ask about all this stuff and other embarrrassing situations. He's better off (and so is LSU) talking to no one until the picture clarifies and the currently set hearing concludes.

I still think he should’ve have at least told them “the offer was a scholarship and playing time. I offered tickets to the family. That’s it”

AND STICK TO IT

Wade is right for not talking and the administration is right for suspending him because he is not talking. I don’t think this is that hard. This is exactly how any other business would handle this same problem.

I apologize if this is a stupid question or has already been discussed, but I read in an article that: "Haney refused to discuss which coaches or how many [were being subpoenaed], as he said he wanted to honor the protective order in place by the court."

By being subpoenaed as a witness, could Wade have also become subject to that protective order? If so, would a protective order in a federal criminal case possibly include a restriction that witnesses are not to discuss the case or their upcoming testimony other than with their attorneys without being in contempt?

Agree with all of this and have been saying it on here since the leaks started. Defense counsel was shut down trying to introduce this same information in the first trial. They want this information to be known, so if they are doubting their ability to be able do so at trial, may as well violate a protective order and start leaking this information to the media. They've made everyone well aware of their intentions to try to expose everything for quite some time. Dawkins already knows he's screwed, so he's going for broke and trying to take everyone down with him.

Wade is not a party to the case, so he is not bound by any protective order in place.

Maybe this isn't authoritative, but I found this in a quick search suggesting that it depends on exactly to whom and what is restricted in the court's order. I am curious what is in the protective order that Haney spoke about. Apparently, it doesn't restrict whomever did it from selectively leaking things on tape.

"What is a Gag Order
A gag order is issued by the court to order individuals involved with a civil or criminal court case to refrain from disclosing certain information to the public, or to the press. People who are commonly the targets of gag orders include witnesses, attorneys, law enforcement officials, jurors, and other parties to a legal matter. Gag orders, sometimes referred to as “protective orders,” are a tool commonly used by judges to protect individuals’ right to a fair trial, to protect a company’s trade secrets, or to protect the identity and privacy of minors and victims. Because this type of order restrains people from releasing information, or from discussing the case in any manner, it may be considered a type of restraining order."

You may be correct... but WW's attorneys are worried/smart enough to tell him to say nothing until trial/plea deal is over or judge rules on his testimony.
