I don't know myself, but you're probably right, there is no such law, and thus I just shot my argument to pieces. I still wonder, though, if Fitzgerald asked Pincus if there was anyone else privy to information about the case, and if Pincus lied to keep Woodward's name out of it? Now that would be a whole different kettle of fish.
I believe it would compel me to bait the hook, skin the fish and even cook it just to serve it up, LOL!
