The Clinton investigation was never a threat to Obama's agenda like it is to Trump. Obama was in his 2nd term so there was no election in his future and Republicans controlled congress so there was no chance of getting any of his agenda passed. Lastly, Clinton and Obama were never close. In fact, they disagreed on most policies.
I find it strange that Trump would not know whether there were recordings made of the meetings with Comey. Presidents usually have a policy about recordings. Also, why would he record a meeting in which he was going to ask the FBI director for favors in the investigations. That would be nuts.
Obama did not record any private meetings with Clinton or anyone else. It was his policy. The only recordings made were public meetings or meetings with the press or interviewers. There were no charges and thus no warrants in Clinton email investigation because the FBI investigated and did not recommend charges.Clinton was a very close associate of the President. I believe heading the State Department qualifies as close. He failed to do so in the Clinton investigation. He went out of his way to avoid normal investigative techniques. No recording of her interview. Destroyed the evidence. No warrants. Gave deals to everyone involved. WTF?When your investigation involves close associates, and advisers to the president and could even lead to the president, you damn better take notes on any private meeting with the president if there is any discussion of the investigation.Comey is a clown. In the Hillary investigation he didn't even bother to record her interview and then destroyed all the evidence. Who does that? He also failed to issue warrants for her home and offices and gave deals to everyone involved. A complete white wash by him. But all of a sudden he is filling notebooks with notes about Trump. Sounds legit.
Hopefully, there will be a recording of the meetings and phone calls but that seems doubtful. If there was any recording that refuted Comey's testimony, Trump would be tweeting day and night about. If it backs up Comey's testimony, it will never see the light of day. Comey tried to convey his beliefs as to what Trump was asking but without recordings, obstruction would require more evidence.
