This statement only digs the hole a little deeper. Your move, Senator Harris.
He is not denying a conversation… he is denying that he remembers a conversation.
As for any absolute denials… he is only denying that any conversations he had were “inappropriate”
IOW, “I don’t remember anything, and even if I did all conversations were appropriate.”
Hereafter known as Trumpian Logic.
There was no collusion, and if there was, it’s not really a crime.
Balls and strikes, man. Balls and strikes.
Also safe or out. Also fair or foul. Also did the batter’s swing go around. Also intentionally hitting the batter. Also unsportsmanlike conduct. Also using a corked bat, scuffing the ball, charging the mound, throwing gear in anger, offensive interference, or overheating with the umpire.
Also other stuff as needed.
The lack of transparency and cynical document suppression by the Republicans has created a situation where Kavanaugh can’t really be sure what information the Democrats might have. The attempt to keep Democrats in the dark seems to have paradoxically given them a strategic advantage.
Of course, what they need more than that is a couple more votes.
Was he confused yesterday? Or did he decide that one instance of perjury was worth it for a lifetime appointment to the court?
Orrin Hatch has become Trump’s toady. I wonder WTF Donnie has on him.
"I’ve never given anyone any hints, forecasts, previews, winks, nothing about my view as a judge or how I would rule as a judge on that or anything related to that.”
“As a judge.”
“As a person, though, I’ve expressed my view to the president’s lawyers and the president himself that I think he should be immune from any investigation or requirement to testify or produce documents, and that he cannot be indicted, should not be impeached and is utterly above the law.”
Orrin Hatch has become increasingly dotty and subject to being manipulated.
What do they have on each other?
Is there a dietary supplement he can take for that?
It’s called rehabilitating the witness on redirect. The problem is, you have to bring up the shitty idiotic thing your witness said on cross examination again just to give him a chance to say something mildly less idiotic.
“I don’t remember anything, and if I did all the conversations were appropriate. And if they were inappropriate it’s no big deal since anyone would have had those inappropriate conversations. And also they never happened. It’s all hypothetical anyway so no comment.”
Love,

I noticed the careful bounding as being about “the Mueller investigation”. Leaves out the whole SDNY question, leaves out the emoluments cases. Even leaves out what might happen if there are Mueller indictments.
