Public Service Announcement for non-lawyers:
"I have no evidence X happened": "I did it and destroyed the evidence"
"I can't remember doing X": "I did it and can't destroy the evidence"
In other words: If you catch up to me with actual evidence, I'm proven not to lie (note that in several jurisdictions, lying might be illegal, especially as a witness).
There's nothing quite like corpspeak, just my favorite:
"I'm planning to have more time with my family": "The investors or my cofounder fired me"
- rumanator 7y agoYeah, the statement does sound like a blatant attempt at plausible deniability.
- mardifoufs 7y agoI mean has there been any evidence? How could evidence of this even be covered up? The masks have to be somewhere. I mean 3M already criticised the US government for cutting mask exports so why would they suddenly lie and say they don't think anything has been seized? If anything I think they are trying to be diplomatic here by not directly saying that the whole thing isn't true.
