his fired fbi director isn t subtle. quote, james comey ber hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. the white house denies it was a threat but were any of the conversations taped? identify talked to the president he has nothing further to add on that. there were three conversations whoop him and his fbi director, two phone calls and a one on one dinner they had at the white house. press sean spicer didn t respond when he was asked if there was credible to tape those conversations. press circumstance told us that s different from a bill-in taping system using by presidents kennedy, johnson and nixon. during nixon s recordings, a 1972 oval office conversation about how to push back on the watergate conversation. that white house taping system
was shut down in the summer of 1973. the american people, press or media didn t know anything about the taping systems until alexander butter field, a white house aid in july of 1973 told the senate watergate committee, told the staff that there was a taping system. at that point, richard nixon had the opportunity to destroy the tapes and decided not to. as for the one on one dinner between comey at the white house, there was no none systems to tape conversations. they say the president can bring in a recording device or have an aid take notes on the information but it s unlikely he would. could comey tape the conversations on his end? we have no information from the fbi. that will only be allowed if the president himself is under investigation which trump says he s not, and if the fbi chief got a warn to tape him.
