But Scooter was not a private citizen, and could not do that, and thus needed more subtle legal advice, about testifying that he did recall precisely who said what to whom, and perhaps if the deposer would tell him what someone else said he said, that might refresh his recollection, and absent that, what someone else said might well be perhaps accurate, with his recollection refreshed, Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for him to speculate as to his recall, as to the precise interplay of the subject conversations. Do you get my drift?
very true. the "cooperate fully" albatross around his neck, hurt him.
in retrospect, Libby should have resigned before it all came down, and thus been a private citizen when the GJ was convened.
