Years ago the Democrats found that answering questions with “I don’t recall” or “I have no specific recollection about that” effectively shields them from charges of lying under oath, even if other witnesses come forward with testimony against them.
Hillary used the strategy in the Congressional inquires she went through on Whitewater and her conduct in the White House. I seem to remember she answered with those word (or with slight variations when she got bored) over 250 times.
In June 1996, the committee published its report, describing Thomases, Williams, Nussbaum and Hubbell as “not candid” and concluding that they had “provided inaccurate and incomplete testimony to the committee in order to conceal Mrs. Clinton’s pivotal role in the decisions surrounding the handling of Mr. Foster’s documents following his death.”
Thomases had answered “I don’t recall” 184 times during the course of the hearings. Independent counsel Kenneth Starr rejected the committee’s criminal referral against Thomases for possible perjury.
NUMBER OF TIMES that Hillary Clinton, providing testimony to Congress, said that she didn’t remember, didn’t know, or something similar: 250

“She’s the most unbelievable actress I have ever met,” said a woman who worked on Hillary’s Senate campaign. “I remember one time at a Women’s Leadership Forum event in New York, thirty of us sat around Hillary, talking about politics. And she said, ‘You know, I love this organization, not just because we sit around and talk about politics, but because of the bonds of friendship forming around us.’ The way she said it, people were riveted by her performance. But I had gotten to know her, and I could tell she didn’t mean it. She has this unbelievable ability to be a liar. She is soulless.”

THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY
“I seem to remember she answered with those word (or with slight variations when she got bored) over 250 times.”
And just look what kind of a career boost having a conveniently ‘sucky memory’ gets you... if you happen to be a Democrat. From the wife of an adulterer to being the 1st Lady, to a Senator, then to Secretary of State, and perhaps on to even becoming the President. Yes. I’d have to say we have a major double standard in this country.
