Notable Quotes 2
The duke's legal team is expected to release a statement today in reaction to the disclosure of the MLA request. A source close to his legal team said: "Legal discussions with the DOJ are subject to strict confidentiality rules, as set out in their own guidelines. We have chosen to abide by both the letter and the spirit of these rules, which is why we have made no comment about anything related to the DOJ during the course of this year. We believe in playing a straight bat."
`Straight bat' is nonsense. This is what is as known (in cricket at least) as a defensive bat — plainly meant to deflect the pitch. I think we should be immediately clarifying things, either on the record or off the record.
Red Flags 1
- The Prince's team is using confidentiality as a defense, which is considered 'rubbish' by the sender.
