Oh, god. A president is recording everything that goes on in the White House. That worked out so well in 1972.

Did you consider that DJT is playing with the most despised group of folk on the planet?? Seriously the DBM needs to be throttled with all their FAKE NEWS - we have the internet in 2017, nothing is more accessible to happenings in the USA in real time. We don't need no stinkn' ABCSeeBSNBCCNNPBSMSNBC,etc. Lies 24x7x365.

If Trump is making recordings in the White House (or in the course of his official duties), those recordings could be subject to discovery or disclosure under subpoena or FOIA. Even they aren’t, there will certainly be a legal fight about them. Therefore, by insinuating he was making recordings, Trump has set himself up for a legal fight he didn’t need whether the recordings exist or not.

And if they don’t exist, while I’m sure he’ll claim he was speaking in the hypothetical, it makes him look disingenuous (and won’t necessarily stop the legal fight).

This one was a mistake.
