OK .. This midnight signing was on Dec 28, 2000 and the phone call was on Nov 8, 2001

Wouldn't this be a problem with the 1978 one year ban law??

Need a freeper lawyer but it appears to me Rubin was prohibited from making that phone call.

TITLE 18
PART I
CHAPTER 11
Sec. 207. - Restrictions on former officers, employees, and elected officials of the executive and legislative branches

Clinton' s EO took effect at noon on the day he left office so that doesn't apply but the 1978 one year ban seems as if it does. Did Rubin duck out before Clinton or did he leave the same day?
