SCAROLA: Because of concern about a -- an inadvertent potential waiver of the work-product privilege, while it is not our intent to assert a privilege with regard to nonexistent communications, any effort to identify the subject matter of communications in the questions that you asked will require that we assert work-product privilege with regard to those questions. MR. SIMPSON: Okay. We disagree, obviously, on that position. MR. SCAROLA: We understand. MR. SIMPSON: So I will ask some additional questions and we will see if the witness answers them. MR. SCAROLA: If it begins: “Did you talk about," the answer is going to be an assertion of privilege. MR. SIMPSON: Okay. MR. SCAROLA: Okay? MR. SIMPSON: [ll ask the questions. BY MR. SIMPSON: Q.
