          I think I would have AT LEAST read @Tribelaw's feed. I can't get over the WH waiving privilege earlier this week and now trying to claim it.

          To non-lawyers reading: Privilege, once waived, cannot be revived. The idea is logically nonsensical. And it is not hard to waive it.

          Absolutely, positively not, although you can try to claim you didn't actually waive privilege. Which is very hard to do in most cases.

          Yep. Also, privilege doesn't generally apply against third parties disclosing what would be privileged info in a lawyer's hands.
