Cagey use of such weaseling can make a later prosecution for lying more difficult, but not impossible. Indeed one of the charges on which Dwight Chapin was convicted was for his claimed failure to remember details of his dealings with Political Saboteur Donald Segretti. The legal theory traces back to the Queen's case in 1820, in which a footman was suspected of having had a lengthy affair with Queen Caroline. Questioned about the matter, a fellow servant...
