Man oh man… does the phrase “I don’t believe so” get you out of perjury?

And if so, follow-up question: shouldn’t the top law enforcement official in the country be able to remember… something?

Honest Jeff Sessions, redefining honesty, daily

He will go with the Reagan amnesia defense “I said I didn’t recall.” And Fox “News” and the Trump cultists will eat it up and cry “WITCH HUNT!”.

Remember when the GOP impeached Clinton for dissembling over a consensual blow job?

Ah, the salad days.

His lips are moving, therefore he’s lying.

Please, Please, Please… somebody ask him about his “guilty” vote on the charge that Clinton lied under oath during the Senate Impeachment proceedings.

Wasn’t the actual charge obstruction of justice, IIRC? Remember how worked up Graham got about that?

Does anyone know if “I don’t recall” can at some point be considered – in the legal sense – to be perjury?

Of course there can be, and are, instances where someone legitimately cannot remember some things. But it seems to me that using that as a standard response during testimony, particularly when you so vividly describe some other recollections you have, can be regarded by a judge or jury as evidence of lying. Is that possible? Or is it just always assumed that we can’t MAKE people remember something, so we have to accept when they say they don’t?

Sessions’ middle name is Beauregard, meaning ‘beautiful gaze.’

There’s nothing beautiful about gazing at a photo of this man. Or an article about him. Or anything else about him.

No it was perjury about the BJ.

Okay, I am going to give Sessions the benefit of the doubt. He was a busy United States Senator. He sat on several Senate Committees. He was very active in Trump’s campaign. He might forget a meeting or two.

Now, I am going to take the benefit of the doubt away. Sessions had a group of people working for him. That group is called a staff. The staff manages his schedule, communications, meetings and etc. His Senate staffers kept something called records. They documented his activities. Unless Sessions had a seriously incompetent staff, there are records that he should have referred to in preparation for his confirmation as AG. Sessions did what other tRump nominees did in preparation for confirmation- nothing. No reviews of important records, no prep for hearings. They decided to just wing it, and when asked questions hey should have been prepared to answer, they all stumbled. Some like Sessions just fucking lied. Sessions is supposed to be a lawyer, so he should have known better, but again, why prep when you can stumble, fumble and lie? What were these nominees told that made them think they would not have to answer tough questions? Did Mitch promise to keep the heat off them?

Sorry, but Sessions is a fool. He is making rookie mistakes, and should know better. These people have no business running a lemonade stand, let alone government. It’s time for Senate Republicans to stop giving this guy cover and let him take the thrashing he deserves.

Are we sure Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is really his name, because he sure has lied or omitted just about everything else.

When asked about this report Attorney General Sessions declined comment.

How could he be expected to know a guy named Burt was a Russian lobbyist for Pete’s sake? It’s not like the guy’s name ended in -sky or -ov after all. :unamused:
