My ex, a lawyer, used it during depositions:


"Where do you work?" I do not recall.
"What is your salary?" I do not recall.


A hundred pages of that before we called it off and went back to the judge, who ordered her to respond.


To which we got, "I do not recall that order".
I've been deposed a time or two and here's my all time favorite response:

"I may have; I can't remember".

for anyone excoriating sessions for not recalling certain events, let me ask you all, can you remember the minutia of your lives for the last two years? can you remember for instance everytime you visited your friends, and every conversation you had with them? especially the minor or insignificant ones?

if someone asked you, could you remember ever place you went, and everything you talked about on say dec,17 2015?

sessions was asked if he met with any russians regarding the trump campaign for president, to which sessions likely answered truthfully that he did not meet with any russians about the campaign. they did not ask if he met with any russians for any reason.

words mean things people, and context also means things as well.

But as I saw Jeffries ask in his questioning...Sessions said a police officer committed perjury after he corrected his testimony. Should he not be held to his own standard?

Its really called hypocrisy. On both sides. When Clinton did not recall 30 or 40 some odd times in her deposition it was okay to her "fans" and then 2 years later when the someone they don't like does it that person is suddenly "unfit" because of it. However, the same action did not deem Clinton unfit in their eyes.
Just as the people defending Sessions probably had a problem when Clinton did it.
Its problematic in both instances yet NORMAL. Any good counsel will tell you if you cannot remember 100% state you do not recall. Instead of lying, say you do not recall.

So the left hates it, but did it for 8 years while Obama was the president....


But now, the right cannot bring up the hypocrisy of the left...
