thanks for the link! this should prove interesting. The key paragraph
<snip>
It wants to ask him about the development of a "document retention policy" at the UK-based tobacco firm and about how it was implemented at BAT's overseas operations. The US government has assured the British courts that Mr Foyle is not accused of personal misconduct or impropriety of any kind. But Mr Foyle has told the US authorities he is bound by a legal duty to keep advice given to BAT confidential.

gives a hint as to the direction the US authorities are headed ie they want to know what Foyle's development retention schedule process is. Although his advice can be kept confidential I would imaging the US authorities will be questioning him on his development process in detail. they will probably also question him on his records management experience as in "have you developed other records retention schedules and if so for what companies?"
Here in the US there is a solid body of case law concerning records and how they are handled. A big portion of the case concerns spoliation.
this should prove to be very interesting.
Well must run
