As Twitchy reported earlier, it’s now a matter of record that Obamacare architecht Jonathan Gruber “isn’t stupid,” but it does seem he has a problem with his memory.
Under questioning from multiple members of the House Oversight Committee, Gruber “doesn’t recall” just how much he has made, in the words of Rep. Darrel Issa, “lying” to taxpayers:
@DarrellIssa how much did taxpayers state and federal pay you #Gruber to lie to them; doesn't recall

Gruber… "Oh…oh….oh…" Jim Jordan presses the question. "How much did the taxpayers pay you?"

Jordan revisiting compensation: "How much were you paid?" #Gruber refusing to pay. "Give me a dollar amount."

GOP members angered at #Gruber failing to disclose his pay; Gruber, after consulting his lawyer, said his submission is complete

@BillHemmer @marthamaccallum @foxnews @TGowdySC @DarrellIssa – How much did the 'TAX PAYER' Pay – GRUBER STILL REFUSES TO ANSWER.

And it’s getting a little contentious with Gruber telling the committee that they’ll need to address questions on his compensation to his attorney:

Gruber just referred Oversight to his lawyer.
Transparency!

How does an MIT economist not remember how much he made from taxpayers or think that taxpayers aren’t entitled to that information?
