The credibility of these tapes is very low at this point. Guiliani and a Russian operative, Andriy Derkach are involved. The FBI could run forensics on the tapes to determine their credibility. Additionally, the tapes are tapered with as Trump, Jr. got his hands on these tapes and posted one. There is no determining credibility if the Trump campaign has possession of official recordings of the Ukraine government. The FBI needs to take custody of the tapes currently in possession of Trump, Jr. and the Trump campaign. I am more than confident Russia is involved in the same way they were in the hacking of the DNC, DCCC and Clinton campaign.
Guiliani has had these tapes since December? Forget it, the FBI needs to run forensics for tampering by Guiliani and the Trump campaign.
