I respectfully disagree.
To qualify a statement by the phrase “to the best of my knowledge” leaves the door ajar, if ever so slightly, for an attorney to prove that you DID have knowledge in some way shape or form at some point in time. A memo or an e-mail, or a phone recording is all it would take.
The phrase “I can’t remember” or “I have no recollection” leaves the attorney with the impossible task of somehow proving that you actually DO remember. How do you prove whether someone remembers something or not?
Regardless of what one may think of Bill Clinton and his eight year soap opera, “As the World Burns”, he was a clever man.

I’d honestly be interested if any attorneys would weigh in on this topic ...
Not only are Liberal/Dem members of the CIA guilty of treason, so is Suskind, the author of this book of lies. In no other war - Civil War, WWI, WWII - would this kind of book, and these kinds of actions be allowed. The book should be banned, the author arrested, the traitors in the administration fired and arrested.
It is time to implement the kind of procedures to protect our Nation that would be used in any other wartime situation. Let’s stop playing games and get serious about defeating our enemies, both External and Internal.
