What a tragic president. He says he has tapes. And they will released over a short period of time.
This is so good. Confirmation makes subpoenaing them so much easier.
And since there is clear relevance to his job Mueller can subpoena them to address the OoJ issue and if there happens to be other pertinent info all the better.

He said he would answer about the tapes at some point in the future, and "don't worry, you'll be very disappointed." WTF is this nonsense?
Yeah that what is confusing. I think what it means is he may have tapes but that we will be disappointed with the contents of the tapes. At least that is the way I took it.

I took it as he will tell us *if* there are tapes soon, and that we will be disappointed (so, no tapes?)

Trump officially took questions from reporters for the first time in three weeks, standing next to Romanian President Klaus Iohannis. The brief news conference -- where each President took two questions from the press -- comes the day after James Comey's bombshell Capitol Hill testimony in which the fired FBI director accused the White House of "lies."

Then why all the suspense?? hahaha
If you don't have tapes. You don't have tapes. The end.
What a moron president!
He is a lying liar that lies a billion times a day.
IF they existed (and they didn't) AND they were exculpatory, he would have published (what do you do with audio tapes? IDK) on the eve of Comey's testimony.

rump also twice declined to confirm the existence of White House recordings of the conversations.
"I'll tell you about that sometime in the very near future," Trump said.
Asked again, Trump said: "I'm not hinting anything. I will tell you over a very short period of time."
So more of his "in two weeks" stall tactic.
I don't think tapes exist. I think it's a bully move he's used in the past to shut people up and he foolishly thought he could bully Comey like that. Now that he's been called out on it he's just stalling until people finally drop it. All bluff and bluster.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe there are any "tapes" any more than there were "wiretapps." In fact his addled brain is probably conflating the two in the first place.
I don't think he has tapes. I think he tried to bluff and manipulate ("Comey better hope there are no tapes..."), and now he won't answer one way or the other. He wants people to think that they might be recorded in his office because it makes him feel powerful. But he's too stupid to realize that he put the idea of recordings out there (which is the dumbest. Hello, Watergate tapes??) and now those imaginary tapes can be subpoenaed, and he now knows he's going to look foolish for making an empty threat. He's hoping this will just just be forgotten about before the "future" comes.
I WANT there to be tapes but I don't believe they do exist.
I don't think he has tapes. I think he's just used to dealing with other shady ass motherfuckers and then blackmailing them to get what he wants.
I'd LOVE to see him go under oath. I'm sure he'll lie his ass off, but he won't remember his lies so those questioning him just need to trip him up a bit in order to catch him.

Or he'll tweet out something completely different the next day.
