Of course in the audio (and video) tape world no one talked about feet they spoke of minutes of tape as in the missing 18 minutes of the Nixon tapes.

"Footage" remained a valid term up through the video tape era. Like film, it also came in long rolls that had to be passed through a machine to be viewed. It is only in the last ten or twenty years that we have stored video in entirely electronic form, rendering "footage" an anachronism.Foggy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 7:57 amGreat, thanks. I'm sure it will be wonderful fun to see him searching through classified documents and keeping some for himself.
And now, I feel the need to go off topic.
Off TopicFootage.Investigators now suspect, based on witness statements, security camera footage, and other documentary evidence, that boxes including classified material ...
This is a word that has been bothering me for a while.
What, in the physical world in which we live, is the "footage" captured by security video cameras?
Now gather around, children, and I'll tell you how cameras, especially motion picture cameras, used a thing called film, back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. This film stuff came in great rolls, and you could legitimately use the word "footage" to describe a length of film that showed something relevant. A length of film could be measured in feet and inches.
Footage actually meant something, and you could measure your footage.
But we don't have footage any longer, and so I think we need a new word. A verbiage.
We also still refer to "dialing" a phone. When was the last time you saw a telephone with a dial, other than in an old movie or TV show? Twenty years or so ago, NPR ran a tongue-in-cheek contest to come up with a new term to replace the word dial. Someone submitted an acronym, "digitally initiated analog link", or DIAL for short. Even that is becoming obsolete, as more and more phones become digital using Voice over IP digital transmission.
I saw a video on YouTube once, in which they showed an old rotary dial phone to some first graders. They had no idea that it was even a telephone. Yet, they could all use their smartphones.

Trump attorney Alina Habba is pressed on whether she saw any classified documents during her “diligent search” of Mar-a-Lago for tax documents, and she responds: “I don’t know, but I’m not in a deposition right now, and I’m not going to continue with this conversation.”

It both would, and would not, be a terrible shock, if Secret Service agents were found to have helped him conceal documents.
Mostly would.

Which is by coincidence the exact length of the original recording of The Alice's Restaurant Massecre by Arlo Guthrie.
Or is that a coincidence?

Looks to me that the former guy pushed secret service members into cheap tax payer handyman duties. We have seen photos of them moving goods at the airport. Not just securing his manhood livelyhood.

My Shocked face if the Secret Service are implicated in moving Classified documents (because he treated them as unpaid servants and told them to move boxes into his trucks} will be so very very shocked.
I'll bet they will be totally loyal to him if that's the case. Totally

Too bad vaudeville is no longer around.
It might even play in Peoria.
Also, it is a pity that Ed Sullivan no longer has his variety show. tfg could vie with the plate spinners and animal acts for top billing.

Chuck Todd to Trump lawyer Jim Trusty: "He's done with classified documents what no former POTUS has ever done... there was actual cooperation by those former presidents to deal w/the dispute. In this case, not only is he not cooperating...how do explain him defying a subpoena?"
