Also he'd have to get someone to do it for him and I don't think anyone smart enough to do it is dumb enough to trust that Trump won't throw him under the best if thet get caught.

sophisticated than Trump ever thought of. But then his buddy Putin might help. It's all Trump BS, as usual. He's wrapped in lies. God this man is horrible.

he just wants to imply, without saying it, that there might be "tapes" that prove that his version is true.

It just keeps everyone focused on something that does not exist, rather than the obvious fact that he is lying.

where he commits obstruction of justice. He can easily delete the part where he asked for Comey's loyalty.

Oh, and did I tell you he also will, stall.

There are no effing tapes, but Trump is determined to dream some up.

is himself far less techie than I am, for sure. Any forgery he might try to make will be laughably obvious. And I suspect that even a fairly well done one will be easily uncovered as fake.

But I think that it's more likely he just never actually addresses it... same with the 100% would testify comment. Pretty sure he said he'd 100% release his tax returns once the 'audit' was over too.
