“Taped testimony can’t prove anything.
Try telling that to Richard Nixon”

Sorry, can’t agree. The Nixon tapes weren’t testimony, they were tapes of actual conversations, involving multiple people, and supported by other evidence and other testimony. There is a huge difference.

What we have here is one person making claims on tape. The claims, nor the fact that the claims are taped proves anything.

I could tape some claims about Michael.S.F., but they wouldn’t prove anything either, even if I had known and worked with you personally for years.

You are being literal, I was being realistic. There is "proof" as in a court of law, which sometimes means nothing (OJ, Scooter Libby) and then there is "proof" as in the court of public opinion, which means everything in politics.

The tapes convicted Nixon, in the court of public opinion, resulting in his resignation.
