The only people who worry about a perjury trap are the guilty. You either tell the truth or you don't.
That is bullshit and you KNOW this to be so and so I am not sure who you are trying to convince or why?
If you are asked something and you tell it to the best of your recollection and understanding, have you told the truth or have you lied? What if you get it wrong? No one is too stupid to comprehend that we as humans can't recall or remember everything or that our perception will be the exact same as everyone else. This is not even up for question. You know this as well as I and everyone here knows. For example IF you witnessed a crime your perception will not be the same as some other witness. You may think the mugger/robber/murderer was wearing completely different clothes to another, was a different height or was of a different race or ethnicity. If you study for a test you are unlikely to get 100% and many of the answers you answer will NOT be guesses but rather what YOU believe was a truthful answer.......you just got that wrong.
Okay so we know that you can tell something you think is true to answer a question and completely innocently get it wrong and because you are a reasonable and smart person you do not doubt this for a moment. Mueller knows this too and so does every person with any critical thought.
So when he asks something that he has answers for (or has a testimony that HE believes is true) and you get it wrong (even quite reasonably as stated above) what will Mueller do? Will he say, "Well that is not what we have here. Perhaps you mean to tell the truth and give your honest perception and best recollection but it is incorrect" OR will he say "You just perjured yourself"
If the latter then this quote:
"The only people who worry about a perjury trap are the guilty. You either tell the truth or you don't."
is ridiculous. Why are you saying it? Is it simply a Trump thing?
