And I've never had to be questioned by a lawyer in any matter of legal or civil consequence. Is this standard practice if you really don't want to answer a question, to simply say "I can't recall?" Sessions seemed to pull it off in some of his committee hearings (despite howls from Dems). Will you get away with that approach, as long as no one can pin you to prior statements that would imply knowledge of the answer to such questions? thanks.
