Everyone seems to be asking, “do you think there are tapes”. Trump has indicated that possibly there are. Comey is saying he hopes so. And the media keeps wondering about whether they exist or not.
I seriously don’t tapes exist. Tape isn’t used anymore. Conversations are recorded in digital files.
Why does that make a difference, you might ask? Isn’t it the same thing we are talking about? Well, not exactly. Tape recorders contain magnets. A room san be “swept” for magnets and tape recorders. Recording with digital recorders are much harder to detect. And, they are smaller. Now, in that den a snakes surrounding Trump, with many eager to make a big buck from their contacts, you can expect many, many people will be recording it, if for no other reason than to protect their own backsides.
Recordings no doubt exist, authorized and unauthorized. On top of that, microwave transmissions have been used in the past to transmit conversations in a room. The Russians have been very keen on this method.
Offer a reward for those recordings and they will be forthcoming.. You may have a whole stack of them.
