Talk about cut off from reality:
Walden repeatedly asked Dunn how she thought HP was getting the phone records. "My understanding was these records were publicly available," she said, later adding, "I understood that you could call up and get phone records" because she thought it was a common investigative technique.
I believe it though. Large company CXOs and board members are treated like royalty. Wherever they go, Potemkin villages spring up around them, directed by studious aides ensuring they don't get any messy reality on their shoes as they walk through. They live in a different America, so of course they don't realize that phone records aren't public.
That's probably the least shocking thing in a long, long list of things that they don't realize.
I can't decide if that's hilarious or terrifying.
