So, Lordy there ARE tapes

Bill Grueskin @BGrueskin
Giuliani: "I have been through all the tapes"

Giuliani, a few moments later: "I shouldn’t have said tapes."

Giuliani, a few moments later: "Well, I have listened to tapes."

So can we just agree that the headline from this weekend is “Lordy, there are tapes.”

on Amazon is $92.95, and a 5 pack of high bias cassettes is $44.15. I do have a lot of existing recordings, however.

and about 100 reels, each with 5 or so albums from the late 60's,
early 70's.
He, and many of my old buds, took great care of their equipment.
I was always moving back then, my best stuff was a down sleeping bag
and an old Martin guitar.

I do have a laser disc player, though, and a couple of VHS-DVD combo players. I like to keep up-to-date!

Did Dotard tape his calls/conversations like Cohen did? Or did he have access to the Cohen tapes since the Dotard admin. has its own minions in the DoJ?? (Or maybe both)

what would be surprising would be the idea that anybody in that circle trusted each other.

But the Trump team has heard them all as they were going through the privilege determination process. My takeaway from what I read at the time was that Cohen mostly recorded conversations he had on behalf of Trump (like with Stormy and Avenatti), as opposed to his direct convos with Trump.

Trump, for all his faults, has apparently been very diligent about preventing recordings / documentation of his conversations in texts or emails. It wouldn't surprise me if he had people check their phones before coming into his office at Trump Tower, and he might even have had some countermeasures in place to prevent people from illicitly recording him.

In drops and drabs, to minimize the impact when released. Makes the release dismissable as old news.
