    For several minutes of the audio recording, the sources said, Trump talks about how he cannot discuss the document because he no longer possesses the sweeping presidential power to declassify now out of office, but suggests that he should have done so when he was still in the White House.

    But the previously unreported suggestion that he should have declassified the document presents a potentially perilous moment, as it indicates Trump knew that he had retained material which remained sensitive to national security – as well as the limitations on discussing it with unauthorized people. CNN earlier reported that prosecutors had the recording.

    Im just shocked he would lie about this. Well he lied to us, he knew better than to use that lie in court lol
    I’m certain this won’t change the mind of any of his defenders. The facts really don’t matter to them.

    Not yet released. Certainly possible the reporting isn’t accurate. If it is, who is recording him and how many other recordings exist?

    What are the credentials of this person giving hearsay evidence that an article was written about and you posted here? Is that person credible? What is the background?

    No, the source was never linked. The news agency that decide to publish this story is linked, but no sources provided.

    To summarize, the article is about an audio recording that can't be proven exist and isn't shared so that it can be verified. The source that claims they heard said audio isn't named either and no credentials have been supplied. Brilliant.

    Anonymous sources claimed Trump had nuclear secrets too. What ever happened to that?

    They are an informant. Their identity shouldn't be revealed unless absolutely necessary.

    What if we call the person a whistleblower? Will you trust their unproven claims then? Lol

    Trump apologists will continue questioning the sources hoping to buy time to come up with a better excuse by the time we hear the audio.

    " the sources said "...... You can just say the sources said and then go on to make up whatever bullshit you want.....:rolleyes:

    How can people be so gullible to just believe whatever comes down the pipe as long as it's something they want to hear? Oh that's right they have a phrase for that, it's called confirmation bias.

    And if you never hear any such audio are you still content to just run with ..... " The sources said " ?

    The sources also said that all you liberals here at PF should send me a bunch of money because you don't want that paper with those pictures of those nasty old slave owners on it

    I suggest you get to work on your position once you can't deny Trump admitted to breaking the law on tape.

    I suggest you get to work trying to find the tape. But of course until then I'm sure that " the sources said " will be perfectly sufficient for you as long as the sources say something negative.

    But if the sources have anything good to say I'm sure you won't believe the said sources
