There may or may not be recordings of phone calls BUT there will be records of calls made and how long those calls lasted. In the age of tech. Expect more emails or text messages.
This all needs to come to a nice slow boil,...get at the truth FIRST!
I’m with you, Ernie. This is an investigation not a game show.
