I’ll jump in here.

No interview. Period.

We’ve seen enough examples of special Prosecutors charging bulls***t crimes because they can’t make the substantive crime they are looking into. See, e.g., Scooter Libby.

I had a client once (who incidentally was referred to me by Jenny Durkan, who is now the Seattle mayor) who was under investigation for a clean water act violation. We worked out a use immunity agreement (nothing he says can be used to prosecute him) and they charged him anyway based on other evidence. It was a foregone conclusion. At least his comments during the interview weren’t used against him. All based on an inadvertent release of concrete into a river during a bridge project.

General rule of thumb is don’t talk to the prosecutors

But, and this is a big but, what would Basil Vespe do?
