i>I think that a secretary should be at least as exempt as a spouse, an attorney, a physician, a priest, or a clergyperson from being used as a source of possibly incriminating data--if not more so. To attempt to elicit such information from a secretary comes very close to flying in the face of the doctrine of freedom from self-incrimination. Usually, ones secretary is in possession of more knowledge than even the above-noted people who are generally exempt sources. And there is the always great likelihood of an element of personal spin. <i/> AT LEAST?!?!?!?!?!?!? an exemption....meaning the a secretary should perhaps have MORE?! flying in the face of self-incrimination?!?! the self-incrimination doctrine does not have a foundation on who has the most knowledge and thus should be exempt based on this concept.... I would suggest that you read McCormick's Hornbook on Evidence. Good summary of the social policy of privilege and the legal ramifications. A secretary should not be thought of as a co-conspirator in this case as presented so far. Not what I am saying....you are villifying Betty Currie for cooperating. You don't know what she knows.... and you didn't answer my question... Would YOU morally be comfortable having information that your boss had done something illegal and not saying anything about it...and be morally comfortable after being LEGALLY required to disclose....and btw, if you have knowledge of someone doing something illegal..present tense, future tense......you can be a conspirator..depending on circumstances of course.
