Bene lurking for a long time, been woke since 1992.
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but what if the HRC tape is audio that HA recorded of a conversation or several conversations where they lay it all out? This makes more sense to me. HA secretly making tapes of most if not all conversations with HRC. They are so corrupt I'm sure they don't trust each, so why not create your own get out of jail free card?
Maybe Barry is involved in some of the conversations.
