This is Russia we're talking about, people. The country that finds dissenters wherever they may be and assassinates them. The country that poisons Putin's political opponents. The country that hacked our last presidential election. Are you really going to trust them to provide any kind of evidence that has not been manipulated?

The Russians must be laughing at us and at our gullibility.

Russia is archiving oval office conversations?

or just when the ambassador and photography crew were there?

If the two revelations are combined - Trump's "tapes" and Putin claiming
he has the Ambassador's conversation - the possible implications are startling.

American media were invited. They'd all have video, but now we are dependent on the Russians for video of what went on in the WH. Strange.

since they were allowed in the room... and no one is asking the question why Trump thought it was okay to "declassify" info in front of reporters (if that is indeed the source of the recording Putin wants to provide and not something more nefarious).
