Okay? That doesn’t make the line of questioning illegitimate. I, too, dislike being questioned about anything by anyone.
> the government is assuming any time that you ask a coworker to “call you” that they are going to question you
Yes. They will also pull your call records and ask you what was discussed. Again, this is super normal. What, would you like to block investigators from asking what was discussed at meetings?
> I would never talk to anyone in the government without my own lawyer
You’re complaining about the government’s general right to investigate? You know that before these records you would still be questioned, right?
I know I would hate to have been questioned about why I wanted to take a conversation out of my corporate channel when I was trying to have an after work “get together” with a cute coworker over a decade ago (that cute coworker is now my wife).
> I’m sceptical of government overreach. But asking what was discussed in a meeting is incredibly standard investigative fare.
It’s not just what was discussed, the government is assuming any time that you ask a coworker to “call you” that they are going to question you.
I know I would never talk to anyone in the government without my own lawyer - and that would cost money.
