“I don’t recall,” “I can’t answer a hypothetical,” and “I will follow precedent” responses would never be acceptable in a serious job interview. Such responses should result in immediate rejection of nominees. Enough of this BS.

Yup.

BINGO

This is who Bove aspires to be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_...

Where TF are they finding this animated corpses?

Definitely yes & I'll say it again when cameras & mics are off.

BOVE IS AS SLIMY AS FUCK. HE SHOULDNT BE ANYWHERE NEAR A COURTROOM.

Convenient lack of memory. Dude is an asshat

The way to avoid a perjury charge.

Lawyers tell you to say that to avoid incriminating yourself. Because if you take the 5th you look sketchy. If you say you can’t remember you just look totally incompetent, which is on brand for this administration.

Schiff is so precise.

Bove reminds me of the troll under the bridge.

What a ghoulish fucking lying sack of shit!

He’s so creepy. And a liar.

You said it. Those Lurch eyes!

They are all just 💩y people

I want to thank you for the informative post but morally I can’t click the like button.

Translation: Yes, I did.

And yet Bove will be confirmed as a judge. The 💩 pile just gets bigger

Schiff saying "fuck you" 5 times took me out.

Might as well have said 'yeah but I don't remember'

He's lying, again!

"I don't recall" worked so well to keep Reagan from feeling any consequenses that everyone's using it now.

He was born in 81 and looks like that!

Full of 💩!

Lying sack of shit. I wonder how these guys go home at night. I couldn't.

Upholstered with slavish sycophants

He has the most plush wall-to-wall carpeting in his crypt

How did this man graduate high school in 1999? He looks 64.

How can you be a judge if you don’t recall that?

Consequences? 👎

Great attitude for a potential appeals court judge!

Do they have other examples of him using those words as his normal language. People like him who swear a lot without a filter like Trump, try to pretend “I’m just a small town lawyer” to mask their crude communication style

This guy is such a creep - reminds me of an old vampire 😳 he cannot become a judge on any bench any where in America!! He doesn’t like America because he is always complaining about how the law just doesn’t suit what HE thinks it should be - THIS IS AMERICA THE LAWS ARE WHAT THEY ARE!

IDR = A big, whopping YES..

Repeated lies Repeated lies Repeated lies

Isn't that interesting ... it's alleged he said to say "Fuck You" to the courts, and yet .. he is being nominated for the courts. If he becomes a judge, will lawyers before him just tell him Fuck You?

You watch these hearing and you come to realize that not only are these people liars and idiots, they are woefully incompetent to do the jobs they are assigned to. Never before have I heard the phrase," I don't recall" or "I don't remember" in my entire life.

Hes playing a MTG, I DONT RECALL !

Filibuster the crap out of him. Please democratic senators, fight back and fight hard and trash those “strongly worded letters.”

Yes, we all know.

Vampires stall because they have nothing but time..

What an upstanding, honest looking fellow.

Bove giving Nosferatu vibes

Of course-the whole administration talks that way because that's how they feel.

Same old lies by all of the Republicans.

Lying POS. That’s means the republicans have found their man. He’s a shoe in for the job. POS.

Yet another disgusting excuse for a "human" who is currently power drunk.

Direct hit there, Schiff! "I don't recall" is one of their favorite dodges.

I ❤️ Senator Schiff

I like it when Adam says fuck lol @adamschiff.com

I wish the questioners would just tell the witness “So that’s a no.” Then move on to the next question just to get it in the record and put a finality to it.

So “I don’t recall” means “I’m evading the truth.”

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WITH A REPUBLICAN VOTING BASE FILLED WITH REDNECKS, GRADESCHOOL DROPOUTS, AND DEGENERATE INBREEDERS RUNNING AROUND WAVING VOTING CARDS LIKE A GRAD SCHOOL DIPLOMA FROM PRINCETON...WOULD YOU GIVE A MONKEY A LOADED GUN ???..THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ANNUAL COMPETENCY EXAM TO VOTE !!!..🤔

Why go through all this and he'll probably still get confirmed?

Schiff should have told Bove to “fuck off”-and then said “think you’ll remember that I told you to fuck off”! 🧌🧌🧌

"I do not recall" has two shades of meaning: 1. I am mentally incapable of recalling, 2. I choose not to recall. Either one is a concern when involving incidents occurring within three years preceding the question.

Exactly. If it was a no- he would have said that!!

He is lying! All trumpets are liars. Democrats should not stand for it and put holds.

Schiff needs to be our next attorney General when the next Democratic president is elected!!

I, for one, will not forget how brilliant Schiff was in Trump’s first impeachment trial. If the Republicans were less corrupt, he would have been out of office then.

He would surely know if he didn't say it. HE'S A LIAR.

If he recalls and says he doesn't, that's perjury. LOCK HIM UP

Lovin' Shifty Schiff🇭🇲🦘🇺🇸🦅🩷

This is the most foul-mouthed, unprofessional, incompetent motley crew

OMG

If someone is nominated to be a Federal Court Judge and cannot recall if they ordered D.O.J. subordinates to ignore the Constitution, you should not only be disqualified, but also be disbarred. Bove is simply a bold faced liar, and grossly unqualified to be a federal judge.

These cowards do nothing but lie. I will celebrate the death of every single one of them.

It’s not like Schiff is asking him about something that happened 30 years ago. More like 30 days.

I hate the lies, the foot-dragging, the dancing around with syntax, but most of all I hate the smirking. So many of the regime's nominees have performed this way--lying while telegraphing that they know you know they're lying, and that they know they'll be confirmed anyway.

“I don’t recall” is the new “pleading the 5th”, without pleading the fifth.☹️

Different candidate. Same lame excuses - I don’t recall. I don’t know.🙄☹️

😱

This guy couldn’t even make it as a Harvey comics villain!

That’s all these people have: lies and deceit.

How do you tell if a Republicans lying? Their lips are moving.

I don't recall=yes

yet again.... bsky.app/profile/pett...

If a nominee can’t give a straight answer, then they should not be confirmed. Period! We’ve seen what happened with many of Trump’s nominees ie Bondi, Kennedy, Noem, Rubio, etc.

Kavanaugh…

Hegseth

While we’re at it: Coney Barrett and Gorsuch

💯-💯-💯-💯

My god

All Dumps peeps have horrible memories don’t they? I pray this pos doesn’t get confirmed!

He looked away when he lied and said, I don’t know.

The episode in question took place a few months ago. He’s pretty clearly acknowledging a lack of sufficient “recall” to qualify for appointment as a federal judge with a lifetime tenure.

Doesn't "I don't recall " Equal "I plead the 5th"?

Bove is a complete crook If he ever told the truth about anything, he would burst into flames 🔥

Many of these folks are amnesiacs, it seems.

This is all fine and well until the Dems still vote to advance Bove's nomination. Hopefully they don't.

Now do the Republicans, you know, the ones in the majority.

I envy such optimism.

Lol - you mean optimism that "maybe they won't"?

Yes. Based on past behavior, I expect the dems to embarrass him a bit, then advance him.

Unfortunately most likely, but I try to have some hope.

Stating “I don’t recall” should viewed with the same skepticism as pleading the 5th because both statements are indicative of refusing to tell the truth. You may as well be saying: “I refuse to incriminate myself”

For years I've been saying, "I don't recall, Senator" as a joke.

This was so predictable, is anyone surprised? No, of course not, because this administration, and this piece of shit, lie every time they open their mouths. Why not put us all out of our misery, and take the vote? He's going to get confirmed no matter what he says.

Can't a Senator hold up Bove's nomination?

The restraint our electeds must show in these hearings is Herculean. You couldn’t pay me enough…

Where is the trump administration digging these people up from?

I hope Schiff said "So you don't deny it, let's move on."

They're all the same

The Ronald Reagan Defense. However, in Reagan’s case, he may have been starting to develop Alzheimer’s.

How many times have we heard "I don't recall"?

Whenever one of these crooks says “I don’t recall” the response should be: “So that’s a yes” or bring out the video/audio refuting the lie. Play hard ball, it’s war.

All Americans need to take time to read or listen to the Whistleblower Complaint…..the audio is like listening to a high suspense novel…..only this is REAL….https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/protected-whistleblower-disclosure-of-erez-reuveni/id1317481380?i=1000714483460

"Since you can't recall, and another person in the room recalls it clearly, then we'll just ignore you and say it's true"

He knows that we know what he said. Are these really adults that we're questioning to hold the highest positions in our govt and country? Do these adults tell their kids, don't lie! I'm sure their family is so proud of them lying to get the job. PATHETIC!!

If the guy has such a bad memory, maybe he doesn't deserve the job. He may forget some really important 💩 when he makes his really important decisions!! For the rest of his life!

So Dems are still holding nominee hearings…I see.✊🏻🐺🤬

They lie about everything

He knows if someone recorded him saying that he’ll lose his license.

I mean, my problem isn't with the words fuck you. My problem is with BREAKING THE LAW while imprisoning innocent people...

Are we placing wagers yet as to whether or not any of this --> 🖕 in America's face will make a dime's worth of difference when he gets confirmed anyway? With extra points for every Dem who votes FOR him?

Your “tough” questions are still lame… it’s impossible to be civil with liars, schemers and cheaters. You have to be meaner than they are (fat chance). So disappointed that I won’t ever again register democrat.

We need to get rid of all these absolutely liars. Enough already. The country deserves people who care. Care about many things the least of which are themselves.

I don't recall is a cowards lie.

Disqualifying

They just can't because their dear leader may eject them! Haha! This is the most farcical administration 🙄! I have to laugh or I'm going to lose it!

"I'd rather not admit that I did, and I'll be sure to reprimand the people that told you about it."

Surely he will not be confirmed. Please.

Red lights and sirens going off! Run, don’t walk away from this cretin!

Bove is bad for democracy! Vote no for another Trump loyalist!

I don’t recall is the MAGA equivalent of “yes I did, but you can’t do anything about it, so NANANA” then stick their tongue out and give the country the raspberries!

Bela lugosi's dead

"that depends on what the definition of 'IS' is"

When they say "I don't recall" means yep I did it.

“I don’t recall” is always the fall back position and always a red flag 🚩 to me that the person is lying.

whether he gets the nomination or not, he is probably losing his law license...

The Sessions standard.

Republicans= Murder Weapon Killing Democracy and People for Profit and Power!

Bove is a Spitting Image puppet in real life🤪

Ah yes, the "I don't recall.", that takes me back. 🙄🚬💨

All they do is lie. We don’t need people like Bove at DoJ. Block his nomination.

did the whistle blowers letter get brought in ?

My response when I saw this earlier: “The “I don’t recall” foolishness. So predictable. So I guess that we will have to take the word of percipient witnesses who recall you saying it. Thank you sir.”

Throughly enjoyed Schiff saying “fuck you” multiple times.

Joyce, why is lying to Congress never investigated?

Bien sûr

Well, it’s such a minor thing to remember, isn’t it now???🙄

Well it’s not a no.

Schiff gets so caught up with the "fuck you" of it all that he never pinned the guy down on whether he would order or support the DOJ ignoring court orders. Fuck you indeed.

That's what the Trump Administration have been doing.

Hey, Bove . . .

deny, deflect, defend, diffuse, dumb down

All 53 GOP plus Fetterman will vote him in

Fetterman, the new Sinema.

It's his way of getting attention. He's Manchin in a hoody with a shaved head

Something happened to him. Huge change. Could it be the stroke? I don't think he'll be voted back in. Ppl feel betrayed. We all cheered him on so much & supported him. What a shame.

Happens too often when a state politician becomes known nationally.

Lying weasel.

“I don’t recall” is just another “fuck you”. Same answer.

How many witnesses are there that heard that alleged comment.

Love to see this question: So, you lack the mental capacity to remember your previous statements? Does early onset Alzheimers run in your family?

Set it up backwards. I trust they'd easily be tricked into bragging about their great memory skills.

😈😈

They’ve perfected the art of deflection…it must be a prerequisite.

“Teabaggers”. They don’t belong in Congress but in boiling water or prison.

“Mr. Emil J. Bove III” for Ghoul of the Year award! #NiceJobCentralCasting

In all fairness, he says that phrase to everyone every day — it’s so hard to recall individual ones 😆

Yes, but others, lawyers in the room, heard him say it. Witnesses. Not sycophants.

On the upside… he’s VERY worried he will be found in comtempt at some point.. bc otherwise he’d double down and refute it… perhaps there is a recording? Concern for one? Multiple people coming forward to say yup totally happened? Cracks in the veneer? Not so easy to a mob boss .. I guess..

Dracula 🧛‍♂️

Maybe he has dementia

Maybe he’s a Nazi. I swear we’re all in this loop doing the same theming our last go at this.

Maybe he is a lying sack of shit....🤷‍♀️

Why not both?

Works for me!!

On something this important, “I don’t recall” is an admission. Every time. @ushouseofreps.bsky.social But where’s the follow up “you agree that anyone that would tell a court ‘FU’ rather than follow the courts order is not fit to serve as a judge, don’t you?”

Gawd he looks frightening !!

Senators do NOT confirm Bove Remember your horrible confirmation of Pam Bondi RFK Jr Pete drunk Hegseth @schiff.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov

Anyone who can't recall their actions surrounding such an important event is not fit to serve in any public capacity or office. If they choose to use the "I don't recall" answer, they should be disqualified from the nomination.

plus the whistle blowers letter 20 plus pages

I'm so, so, so, so, so tired of the GOP using "I don't recall" as an answer. The general public should just start using it, too, I guess.

It's an epic shame, but you know he'll get confirmed along party lines.

Do not vote to confirm anymore Nazis

He's such a liar

Just say “Yes”. It’s not like Republicans have any morals anymore and won’t vote for him.

POS BOVE!!

How can he remember case law while on the bench if he can't remember something he argued for two months ago? A lying, weak-minded toady like Bove is totally unqualified.

Sounds like he’s got a memory issue. Maybe he should be in a memory unit instead of confirmed for any position on the court.

YES we do!

Bove could have a answered " No, but I remember saying 'fuck you' to you cuz I just said it." And still get confirmed.

Republicans should forget about running, since they are unable to remember anything else. Just sayin’.

They've all had a full course of "lie and deny" it appears

Bove is a lying sack of shit, which is why tRUMP wants him to be a judge.

This would have happened at one of the consequential meetings he would have been involved in within the last 3 months. No way he does not remember almost every detail of this meeting.

If Bove gets confirmed, trump will make someone step down or disappear from SCOTUS and Bove will be the next SCOTUS.

He wants to get rid of Amy!

Or any of the women. Any way he can.

We certainly know from his obstructive cuteness that Bove can't contradict the whistleblower testimony that he said those things.

interesting that boveferatu remembers details of that meeting but doesn’t remember saying fck you to courts. me thinks it might be using rfk’s brain worm as a memory tool. “The answer is either yes or no. And we all know which of those “I dont recall” is”

Of course he recalls. the "I don't recall" is a lie to deflect. Ask www.bodylanguagesuccess.com to read his body language.

Fucking Exactly.. This is another trump piece put on the Chessboard of Democracy.

Bove looks like "what if Roy Cohn and Stephen Miller made a baby together".

MAGA = Memory Always Goes Away

Bove is lying under oath in his confirmation hearing. What is it with these reThuglicans, that they think EVERYONE else doesn't know they're lying? And btw, this alone is grounds to deny confirmation, let alone the underlying unlawful conduct.

Why does evil look it?

Joyce, as an attorney isn't Mr. Bove an officer of the court? I mean not even as a DOJ official, I mean as a run of the mill attorney?? Aren't officers of the court required/expected to follow court orders? That would be the logical thing. Of course, where is logic these days? :(

Pulling out the classic gop strategy. It brings me back to good ol' Reagan.

This guy must be auditioning for a movie called “Crimes of the Cryptkeeper.”

Not forceful enough

It was a lovely slow dance wasn't it? It almost felt like a love was blossoming

🤣🤣🤣. It might as well have been. I appreciate the hearing but let’s face it. He’ll get confirmed.

Kind of like "I'm taking the Fifth". #DontRecall

Am I right in assuming that the person who wrote the whistleblower report could be charged with perjury if they lied in their statement?

I absolutely believe that the whistleblower is telling the truth, I just wondered if that is something that can be mention to really strengthen the credibility of their statement.

Imagine telling so many judges to fuck off, that you can't recall which judge you said it to?

Trump employed a lot of people with poor memory.

Thats a good one

😂 Why are we still doing this? Okay, real talk. We’re dealing with abusive, racist, immoral people who manipulate things like the concept of benevolent religion & patriotism to harm people & undermine democracy. They do it intentionally. So when do we stop playing this fucking “but you said” game?

Anyone who accepts a nomination from Donald Trump should be assumed to be of low character and / or incompetent, because it's against Trump's most basic policy to hire people who are decent and competent. Hence, no Democrat should vote for any Trump nominee. Ever.

Officer, that is just mouthwash on my breath. I don't recall drinking at all.

"What comment?" WATF??? They gaslight like no other. CALL THEM OUT ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im tired of the F'n games

Besides the fact that he is a horrible, corrupt and incompetent lawyer, this guy is a weird, creepy sleezeball liar

Bove comes across as a disgusting POS.

And that’s on a good day!

He "doesn't recall", and yet he says that the whistleblower is lying. Did he explain how that works?

Why do all these Trump dudes look like evil henchmen in a cartoon?

So, he lied. OVER & OVER & OVER.
