      Also needs time to book a flight as everything is pretty much filled up this close to the holidays.

        Especially since the power outage at the Atlanta airport has really messed up airline schedules all over the country for the rest of the week.

        Plus I'm sure he has to think up some new lies in light of the Jacobs letter. Being a corporate lawyer is bad enough, but being a corporate lawyer for Uber is like being Satan's right hand man. I'll be surprised if he doesn't burst into flames when exposed to the Florida sun!

      Thing is this is highly unusual. Nine times out of ten corporate counsel would be immune from testifying. I'm mean you get sued and and your lawyer has to go and testify possible against you . The only way this happens is if the judge thinks the lawyer was in on it. In that case yes he would not want to testify as he could be liable and lose his license to practice law .
