A “taint team” is a group of government attorneys who are not involved in the investigation of the underlying matter and are assigned only to review seized documents for privilege. The taint team will review the documents and then provide non-privileged documents to the trial team and return privileged documents to the party from whom they were seized. The prosecutors who are working on the underlying investigation and prosecution are usually referred to as the “trial team.” In most cases, the defendant opposes the use of a taint team, because allowing the government to review any privileged documents undermines the privilege and runs the risk that documents will inadvertently, or deliberately, be shared between the taint team and the trial team.

Only the government would have an occupation known as a taint team. | |||

Its a team of government attorneys that occupies the space between genitals and assholes. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

It refers to a different definition of taint. In this case, they are trying to avoid a tainted case. The use of people not on the prosecution team to evaluate and separate information is similar to computer companies employing staff to reverse-engineer code or devices and then provide only the general specifics to the team that will produce the new code or device. | |||

So, after they imprint their stamp of approval on the documents, is that called a "Taint Punch"? | |||

I’m the taint system is as robust as the system where people aren’t supposed to do insider trading. </sarcasm> "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

They are government lawyers, hence the 'taint' reference... “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
