Why is it not a law that every call be recorded at the presidential level?

I know that by having people write down what was said is a way they can hide stuff, but it`s 2019 and we do not record phone calls like what happened in the U S - Ukraine call? What the hell is so hard about that? If there is so sensitive stuff than lock it up. Than there is no way that things are forgotten or left out on purpose to protect someone.

2. Calls should be recorded, I am wondering about Vindman's ref to Biden call tape too.

Where did drumph get a tape of a Biden call?

3. Wait...Y'all Still Think a Ukraine/Biden Transcript Actually Exists?

I'm shocked Trump didn't take steps to keep anyone not named "Trump" or "Zelenskyi" from even listening in, much less take notes...

4. There is no such tape. I have no doubt that such a tape exists only

in Fat Nixon's twisted mind, which is located a bit south of his large intestine.

6. The Real Reason Why the WH May Have Omitted Reference to "Biden Tapes":

Because in the year 2019, anyone--especially in an allegedly industrially advanced nation like the USA--shouldn't still be using tape to record anything...
