re: #293 Gus

Since it’s from a recording of a meeting they can always say it’s not an official statement.

Good luck with that, nobody’s going to buy it. Closed door meeting with “influential” world leaders, it’s an official statement. It’s not like he got drunk at a cocktail party and somebody secretly recorded him. I’m guessing the White House didn’t want to make it a public statement (thus the close door meeting) and they’d rather not have the recording out there.
