WikiLeaks announced Friday it is prepared to pay $100,000 for any tapes of conversations between President Donald Trump and former FBI Director James Comey. The message was sent out from its Twitter account just hours after Trump sent out his own tweet apparently warning Comey not to leak information to the media because of tapes he has of their meetings.
Update: U.S. lawmakers ask Trump to turn over any Comey tapes. Background on Comey's firing.

I doubt DJT installed a new recording system...
That's an empty assumption.
Back in the days of LBJ and Nixon a recording system was big, complicated and required staff to manage.
Now you can record days of conversations on a device the size of a tie-tack.
And yeah, Turmp uses scotch tape instead of tie-tacks, [esquire.com] but the point remains that the effort required is trivial. Trump could have been doing it all by himself if he wasn't such a technophobe. It doesn't require wiring up the oval office, just putting an innocuous paper-weight on his desk or a pen-shaped recorder in his suit pocket.
BTW, Turmp has a history of deleting records in direct defiance of court orders. [newsweek.com] So if they exist, there is a good chance he's gonna delete them rather than hand them over.

If only he had used duck tape instead, then we could laud him, right?
Washington DC delenda est.
