"Even though we share a name." "My only role in is to absorb money... All of it."

I have seen this movie sooooo many times.

"Why aren't they on trial here?"

And so on and so forth and blah blah blah and whatever and yakkity yak then "Who? Me?" & etc ad nauseum.

For the next 20 years or until they find just the Judge they were shopping for or the DA gets bribed/unelected/goes insane or Daddy is reinstalled in the WH or any number of preferable outcomes to wearing an orange jump suit.

Liars use it all the time.

Practiced liars can use it well enough to place them at the center of an event but still, somehow, miss the crucial moment of an event.

The dancing lie - one that weaves in, out and around the truth. Always leaving wiggle room for clarification and plausible deniability.
