54 things Donald Trump Jr. couldn’t ‘recall’ or ‘remember’ in his testimony
Washington Post ^ | May 16, 2018 | Aaron Blake

If there's one thing Donald Trump Jr. cleared up with his congressional testimony, it's that he doesn't remember a lot of things.

In a newly released transcript of his testimony, Trump repeatedly couched his answers about that June 2016 Trump Tower meeting by saying he did not “remember” or that he didn't “recall” certain things. Even when he was pretty sure, he'd say “not that I recall” or something like that. The result was a pretty cagey piece of testimony.

Considering that if he misstated something, he could be up on perjury charges even if what was misstated did not amount to much, he was wise to be cautious.

“How many things was Hillary not able to recall?”

at least 39 times in one chat with “investigators”: https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/steve-benson/2016/09/09/hillary-clinton-doesnt-recall-anything/90117940/

So what?

I wouldn’t remember even a single thing.

Hillary Clinton set the standard, so live by it.

She didn’t have to recall. Perjury traps are only set for Republicans.

That’s the problem. Seems people on the hotseat with the last name Clinton, Trump or one of their associates have testimony amnesia. Must be a plague.

How many articles did WashPoop write about Hitlery Rotten Clinton lying about not being able to recall things?

She lied to Trey Gowdy who then “Refreshed” her memory when she couldn’t place a name and suddenly the excuses broke forth from her mouth.

Lying treasonous witch and sycophants in the enemedia lyign for her.

#2. How may things didn’t Democrats before Congress forget or “couldn’t remember”?

Could publish a book of them, or maybe several volumes. Just like the Mafia during the Kefauver hearings or the Communists during congressional hearings.

Seems that the Democrats learned from their techniques from traitors and criminals. Birds of a feather ....

#17. BINGO. Time to put Lynch on the stand before Congress and ask her why she gave a suspected Russian operative a clearance to come into the country.

Who told Lynch to do it?
When did they tell Lynch to do it?
Why did they do it?

Loyal Americans want to know “NOW”.

When then VP Al Gore was deposed under oath by the FBI for his actions in the Chinagate scandal where the Dims actually got cash donations from the Chinese military he said he could not recall over 75 times.

This was no issue at all when Hillary could not remember or recall stuff 346586835835 times so why is it now? WP still endorsed her and she was called “the best person to be president ever”...

The first good advice from your lawyer is always, “Answer with Yes, No, And I do not remember. Case closed!!!

Uhm... I don't know!

What! How can you not remember such a significant detail?!

I was 6 years old?
