But you would of course extend the same benefit of the doubt to Trump that you have to Hillary, right?
I believe it would be morally wrong to assume that I know what anybody but myself remembers, just as I am perfectely aware of such things as knowing that I do not take drugs even though I am often assured by others that I must because the things I say apparently sound unusual to many people.
If Trump were to go out on 5th Avenue and shoot somebody in front of a thousand eye witnesses, however, and claim he didn't remember. I would just seek his trial for murder, not for failure to remember it. The evidence would be what matters, a thousand eye witnesses being more credible, than the denial of a perp. This is why evidence is gathered, so that people with bias can't convict people as a matter of their own personal opinion without evidence pointing to real guilt that is beyond a REASONABLE DOUBT. To do otherwise is un-American and against what America stands for. Yours is the very kind of thinking our Forefathers sought to stamp out.
Supposition of guilt without substantiating proof is what the Bible also rails against, the sin of bearing false witness. If you are a Christian you cannot be a conservative because conservatives hold biases based on gut feeling. And there are also consequences for that: Judge not that you not be judged. It's an actual and real judgement, by the way, that is always and ineluctably rendered, whether you believe in God or not. It is either divine in origin or a projection of our true selves, so it really doesn't matter which. Those who commit it are automatically condemned. It's also known as Karma.
This is also the last thing anybody will ever want to know, that we have condemned ourselves to the guilt we see in others and why our lives are, as a consequence, an unconscious living hell, and why, too, the world is filled with self destruction and misery. It is also what Christ came to release us from by his conscious death as analogy, so we might know we have been forgiven, that the extinguishing of the ego self leads to resurrection and the joy of being.
We are all quite insane because there is only love.
