Can the defender legally make a play on the ball when he is out of bounds ?

He's not the one who hit the ball. He swung and missed. The other guy hit it.

it from the back side, the swipe did miss but hes the one who stripped it from the back too. all while out. the only thing i can think is there was another player on mike's back with a hand on mike's upper arm which technically can't be ruled out as a cause and effect of a fumble. But the strip was cause by the guy out of bounds. So technically when three dudes are tackling you legally and the dude out of bounds is the guys who got is hand on teh ball and stripped it thne youcan't technically say they had nothing to do with him fumbling eventhough they didn't actually do it.

does it matter that he may not have touched the ball?

He was clearly out of bounds and come back in bounds and was part of the tackling crew that hit and caused the fumble. Surely that would not a penalty? Or am I wrong?

Show me the rule.

I, like you, was certain it was illegal for an out of bounds defender to tackle or strip the ball. I can find no such rule, however. If you can find it I sure would like to see it.

the play is dead, so clearly this is probably not the case

A ball in player possession is out of bounds if the ball or the player touches anything that is out of bounds other than a game official or another player.
seems the official or other player part mean it was a fumble
