“I have no idea if there are voice recordings or not,” Abbate told Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday during questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

No idea? You're the f'ing FBI aren't you? I think we should drop the I.

Yes, it's the FBI's fault the phantom evidence doesn't exist.

FD-1023

An FD-1023 (CHS Reporting Document) is the form FBI agents use to record
raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources. FD-1023s
merely document that information; they do not reflect the conclusions of investigators based on a fuller context or understanding. Recording this information does not validate it, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information known or developed by the FBI in our
investigations.

You don't know it doesn't exist without a thorough investigation to try and find it,

Maybe I should be paying more attention to MSNBC:

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/gop-unrealistically-high-hopes-informant-cant-find-rcna84626

"In case this isn’t obvious, Comer and his far-right colleagues are
working on the basis of some odd assumptions: When Biden was vice
president, they believe, he was bribed by someone to do something for
someone else. Who? What? For now, no one, including the Republicans
themselves, seem to have any idea, but they’re trying to fill in the
gaps, assuming there might be evidence, which they don’t have, and which probably doesn’t exist.

What’s more, the elusive evidence will apparently come from an elusive informant, whom they’re confident does exist, but whom they can’t find."

NB: Steve Benen isn't an on-air personality. I remember him from Salon
and Washington Monthly.

Stop the presses! Man who supplied audio that doesn't exist may no
longer be with us:

"When asked by Hannity if he has any contact with this alleged Burisma
source, Comer replied: "Unfortunately, nobody's had any contact with him
for the last three years.""

We have Joe on tape bragging about getting that prosecutor fired who was investigating Burisma.

Meanwhile....you seem quite happy the FBI has "no idea" on the whole topic.

Yes, because the prosecutor was corruptly not investigating properly.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/biden-ukraine-prosecutor-trump-tweet-888662/

...at least one official in the prosecutor’s office said the
investigation had been suspended by the time Biden threatened to
withhold financial aid until Shokin was removed. The former vice
president also did not appear to do anything to thwart other efforts,
including those of the Obama administration, to investigate Burisma.

There also doesn’t seem to have been much legitimacy to Shokin’s investigation in the first place. According to tweets from Russia’s
Crony Capitalism author and Ukraine expert Anders Åslund, the inquiry
was likely nothing more than an effort to extort Mykola Zlochevsky, the company’s owner. “A prosecutor in Ukraine is usually a person who uses state power to investigate crimes, but after having done so the
prosecutor goes to the culprit & extorts him or her, after which the
prosecutor closes the case,” he wrote before noting that Shokin’s case against Burisma was quickly closed.

End quote.

Meanwhile....you seem quite happy the FBI has "no idea" on the whole
topic.

It seems specific to these alleged recordings, not "the whole topic."
