> Uber has the authority to say to its employees, "If you have anything at home you bring it in here, give it to Mr. González, and he will turn it over to the Court." So Uber says that to Levandowski, and he says "Sure, I'm an obedient employee, I'll give you the file if I have it. I don't have the file." Lying under oath is punishable by law (hence taking the 5th), but lying to your employer is (AFAIK) not. Now if the judge is satisfied with that, then fair enough, but I doubt he would be. If he wants Uber to require that Levandowski not take the 5th as a condition of further employment he should just say so.
