I know it's a glass half empty headline. These tapes might exist. If something might exist it needs to be investigated and talked about ad nauseum until its lack of existence can be proven.
That's the problem though, you can't really prove a negative. By the nature of logic. At best, if it is a lie, the original source admits they lied.
Did Donald Trump eat so many Cheetos he actually turned orange? I'm not saying that's true, I'm just asking the questions.
We need to shut down his Cheetos supply until we figure out what is really happening.
You can however reach a level of confidence about a negative.
Like, I can't prove that putting my VR headset on didn't actually send me to another world... but I've got a pretty high degree of confidence that it didn't.
How exactly do you propose to do this, or am I missing the implied /s?
