1. And yet Mulroney got $300 K for a pasta machine brochure

but by solicitor/client privilege.

The case went on for several years and it is virtually impossible to compartmentalize the facts and the stories into privileged and non-privileged communications. Thus, the only prudent thing to do is not discuss the details on the internet at all.

(There were sealing orders as well, but those were eventally vacated.)
