Under oath, with only offhand recollection of maybe facts, many people would prefer to say as little as possible. That seems only natural given the potential for accidentally lying if something remembered offhand turns out to be untrue or taken incorrectly.
Contrast with a lower stakes interview, likely prepared for at least in general if not with vetted and researched questions?
- whodidntante 1y agoWell, she had plenty of time to reflect on what she did not remember and had a perfect opportunity in the NPR interview to address that. Watch the Senate hearing. This was not a person that did not want to make an offhand statement. This was a person who clearly did not feel comfortable with what she knew she said to "her audience" but not comfortable when it came to a public audience. Many, many times. She sounded like someone repeatedly pleading the fifth. My opinion, of course.
