Not only is it possible, it’s exactly what they'll say. It’s a lie, of course, but that has never been much of a hindrance before.

There’s a long tradition of this, going back as far as I’ve been old enough to be aware of it – and undoubtedly much further. Nixon called it plausible deniability. Reagan just couldn’t remember. Clinton obfuscated to the end. And the really terrible part is we don’t care; at least not enough to do anything about it.
