Around a year ago, they seem to be talked about a lot on boards like Reddit and
such, but for some reason, the story has died, someone must have a physical copy.
Im just wondering why they havent been bought up in a while?

The Apprentice Producer Mark Burnett Breaks Silence on Possibility of More Donald Trump Tapes
https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/apprentice-producer-mark-burnett-breaks-silence-on-trump-tapes-w444207/
The Apprentice producer Mark Burnett said in a new statement that he "does not have the ability nor the right" to release more possible Donald Trump tapes following the Republican presidential candidate's recent scandal.
"MGM owns Mark Burnett's production company and The Apprentice is one of its properties," Burnett and MGM said in a joint statement to Us Weekly Monday, October 10. "Despite reports to the contrary, Mark Burnett does not have the ability nor the right to release footage or other material from The Apprentice. Various contractual and legal requirements also restrict MGM's ability to release such material."
So I dont think your theory that NBC killed the story is correct. More likely Mark Burnett effectively shut it down

which may be a motivator

A Trumpet.

And they are in the possession of people who whole heartedly support Trump or they would have come out by now.

...by myriad guests and staffers on the show, for anyone who bothers to listen to them.
That kind of fuckery can't be kept under wraps forever. In the meantime, Mueller has the tapes that matter most.
