Maybe part of the game was to eventually get us in position before the fact.

We're willing to take responsibility for acting before the fact.

Unfortunately, most of us are influenced by what we know before the fact.

But I did not discuss the matter with him before the fact.

There may have been nothing I could do before the fact.

It was a moment before the fact registered on the man.

This is exactly the same as being a television newscaster, only before the fact.

But they didn't have to, because so many of their songs, written long before the grim fact, said it for them.

You are not an accomplice either before or after the fact.
