At the start of Wade's 2016 deposition, he's asked if the hours spent w/ Finaldi + reviewing documents helped refresh his recollection of the past.

Wade boasted: "I didn't need them to."

Within the 1st hour, here are two dozen details he couldn't remember.

(To be continued.)

• Didn't remember when he started writing the book (maybe second half of 2012).
• Didn't remember if the notes he took on computer still existed.
• Didn't remember what software he used to compose his book (maybe "Story").

• Didn't remember if he saved different drafts of the book as he worked on it.
• Didn't remember when he stopped writing the book (maybe April 2013).
• Didn't remember the title of the most impactful CSA book that he read, twice.

• Didn't remember what his wife said when concerned about perjury if writing a book.
• Didn't remember when he first got in contact with the first book publisher.
• Didn't remember any specific instructions given to potential publishers.

• Didn't remember what publishers or agents he spoke to regarding his book.
• Didn't remember any publisher getting his book draft (but email indicates they had).
• Didn't remember what writings or book drafts were sent or to whom.

• Didn't remember if he authorized anyone to send drafts to publishers.
• Didn't remember when he stopped pursuing a book deal (maybe first quarter 2013).
• Didn't remember if any publisher actually said they would publish his book or not.

• Didn't remember certain details or events so asked his mother about those things.
• Didn't remember other details so "checked his memories" with Chantal.
• Didn't remember dates and such so used the Internet to help in his research.

• Didn't remember when his mother started working on her own book.
• Didn't remember if or when he disclosed to his mother he was writing a book.
• Didn't remember if his mother ever provided him drafts of her own book.

Note how these are mostly questions based around 2012-2013. A year's time in the recent past.

Yet he also claims he never forgot one minute of what happened to him from age 7 on. But he also told his mother he didn't remember a lot of details. And claims his memories evolved. 🤥
