Also just from a logistics standpoint, this seems like it is 100% unprovable. Which is a gold mine for a conspiracy theorist because it means they can never be proven wrong saying it.

I mean I guess Russia could offer up the tape if it existed, but why would they ever if one did exist?

So it is basically a story that can not be corroborated, can not be verified or fuly discredited, but definitely feeds those that are looking for this to be true and are willing to set their critical thinking aside to achieve it.

It is also the sort of thing that indirectly helps those she is seemingly wanting to expose by putting out there assertions of fact she can't back up and that upon even superficial examination become faulty without further verification.

Yep!

The idea of a tape gets her followers whipped in a frenzy. Never mind the fact that recording a tape is about the dumbest thing I've heard in this entire Russian mess. That mythical tape floating around out there lets her spew her fan fiction a little longer.
