1. Yup...Add to it all the confidences between accountants and
clients, physicians and patients, and newsmen and sources. Add everyone that does phone sex. Add anyone calling girl friends or mistresses. Add politicians talking to lobbyists too.
3. i dont think so; the fact of the occurence of the communication is not
subject to privilege, its the communication itself. I can ask in a deposition or trial if a party had communicated with their lawyer; I cannot ask about the content of the communication (well i can ask; but they have the right to refuse answer and invoke the privilege).
4. Do you really believe they aren't selectively listening?
They only admit the violations as they get caught?
Further, does the government really have the right to electronically tail me as I investigate a case when it is the government which has brought charges against my client?
