...and EVEN IF THERE WERE TAPES, tRump* would not produce them, as they would show Comey telling the truth and tRump* lying, as usual.

With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea...
...whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.

(14,920 posts)3. But he lies about everything, which makes me think there ARE tapes.
Parse the words (obviously not his own) carefully. He says he didn't make any tapes. That leaves open the possibility that someone else did, quite possibly with his own knowledge and consent. Comey called his bluff, and it is very much in Trump's interest at this point to say they don't exist, because discovery would be catastrophic for him and those around him.
at this stage I dont think he cares.
