    I read the title of this post and assumed it was satire. It does not appear to be, and while Wexner chuckles it off it seems really, really, odd.

    I’d ask who the lawyer works for but I’ll wait until I’m in a single story building.

    Should’ve learned how to answer questions like his buddy Jeff, watch his deposition every question is followed by his lawyer raising an objection and motion to strike and Jeff pleading the fifth.

    What’s interesting here is that the attorney apparently hadn’t given him that advice earlier.

    One of the earliest and easiest rules about being a lawyer in the US - tell your client to shut the fuck up. Police, press, Congress, it doesn’t matter. They should shut the fuck up.

    He has a right to remain silent, and he should use it. Anything he says can be used against him, but nothing he says can really be used in his defense.

      This attorney also works for somebody else. This was a very serious threat from a very serious sociopath. The lawyer’s laugh is very unsettling.

      The lawyer is promising to Wexner what happened to Epstein and Brunel.
