It’s not normal, but it’s certainly possible. At a minimum he could limit the questioning to omit anything that is considered privileged to the prosecution, just as if the prosecution was trying to get one of Trump’s lawyers on the stand for them. If the questioning was allowed, Wade could also plead the 5th, especially if his answer might contradict something he previously testified.
As I said, I’m all for this angle of attachk and appreciate AC bringing it forward, as no one analyzing it on TV has even mentioned it yet that I’ve seen. But it’s not like he’s going to be hooked up to a lie detector and forced to answer every question they dream up, even if they’re allowed to call him, was my only caution.
2. There should be an underlying presumption here that attorney-client privilege would not apply in the dealings with the Washington players because: (A) this is a state case, not a Federal case; and (B) the people in Washington of greatest interest to the defense are not DOJ types, but political office holders and their staff members (White House personnel, J6 committee members, etc.).
3. Having a disqualified prosecutor on the case plead the 5th would be the best thing that ever happened to Trump and his co-defendants. This would be grounds for an immediate dismissal of the charges, since the defendant in a criminal case cannot have his Sixth Amendment right to call witnesses in his defense abrogated by a witness' Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
