jobs should learn to shut up and give only what's required

I don't think he will have any problem doing just that. OTOH, he should try not to come across like Gates during the MSFT monopoly trial. In any case, there is a real possibility that he could say the wrong thing and open the proverbial can of worms. It's never a good thing to be deposed. Also, it's important to note that the DOJ has not made its position clear about Jobs in this backdating mess. It could be that it's still investigating, poking around for the smoking gun.

in my opinion the DOJ lawyers blatantly broke the law in the Reyes case. The overtly lied and presented a false picture to the jury even with a paper trail that it was false. It didn't matter- the judges and DOJ are sortof corrupt, almost. It was amazing to me. What I don't know is if this is the way federal prosecutors *always* act. Like when they were going after the mafia or communists or whatever evils of the day is this what happens.

By now, everybody knows what happened in the Reyes case here. Jobs lawyers will fight this, and if he does have to testify I am sure he will. He has to be careful though. They will try to perjury trap him, no doubt in my mind. He will go with his lawyer and plead the 5th if he has to. He won't be stupid like REyes was early on just going in and answering questions without a lawyer.
