It's certainly so that many of the government witnesses were lawyers and that some of them had pleaded guilty. 4 Q. And their pleas included pleas to making false statements to the IRS, correct? 6 A. That's true. 7 Q. So it's not inconceivable that attorneys lie, correct? 8 A. I don't think that's what I said, but it's certainly not inconceivable that lawyers lie. 9 Q. And at the end of that conversation, you told Theresa Trzaskoma to leave it, correct? 11 A. I don't remember the words, but something to that effect. 12 Q. Now, she had been the partner in charge of the jury selection, correct, in terms of the detail work? 14 A. I was in charge of the jury selection. But you're right, she was closer to it than I. 16 Q.
