Previous Guy's 12 point program what refutes the audio recording [1]

“Fake news CNN has exclusively apparently obtained another audio recording used as evidence in Trump’s document case,” Hannity began. “It’s kind of weird because there are virtually no leaks from Biden’s document investigation, if there even really is one. It’s almost as if we have a two-tiered system of justice, isn’t it?”
Immediately, you see how this works. The investigation into Biden’s possession of classified documents is not understood to be commensurate to Trump’s in any significant way. There’s no indication that Biden knew he had classified documents, much less tried to retain them. For Hannity’s point to stand, it would require that (1) the recording obtained by CNN was leaked by the Justice Department and (2) that there exists a recording incriminating Biden in the same way — appearing to show someone a classified document and mentioning that it’s classified — but without that recording similarly leaking. But Hannity’s viewers aren’t pausing to consider that. They’re hearing the code-phrase — “two-tiered system of justice” — and (Hannity hopes) nodding.
[...]
After a commercial break, Hannity played the audio itself. You can hear Trump at his Bedminster club showing something to the writer with whom he was speaking, mentioning that it’s secret and that it would need to be declassified, though he no longer had the power to do so.
But that’s not what Hannity claimed to have heard.
“Now, while he did say, you know, this is stuff that he got from the military that would be highly confidential and secret and says at another point as president, I could have declassified it, now I couldn’t,” Hannity began. “But now, you know, it would still be a secret. That does not confirm for me whether or not specifically this document was declassified or not.” And then, some additional skepticism: “Was that actually the real document or is it a story that he was telling?”
