(11,100 posts)The question is whether the client of the WH counsel is the government or the President. If the client is the government, there is no attorney/client privilege and he must testify. If the President is the client, there is attorney/client privilege and he may not testify. My inclination is that the client is the government but I have not researched the question.

This man was a SERIOUS military commander!
This man was the 'Head of Staff'for the leader of our country!
And he won't answer serious questions about illegal activity?
You are SO right!
