[Ipg-smz] Phone interview question

[Tom Henderson]

The only issue is plausible deniability, which a phone interview might 
have-- if you didn't tell the interviewee you were recording and have 
that proof. The others are presumed to have a source origin. Verbal 
conversations are subject to your notes, which you always keep, in case 
there is litigation.

 From there, you can say "in a phone interview" but that information is 
superfluous.
