OK, first off, how the hell did CNN even get their hands on this tape, since it was supposedly seized by the FBI?? are they THAT bloody leaky?
Secondly, all those dems wringing their hands "they have trump now" need to realize that
A) since the tape was illegally made, (Trump was never informed he was being recorded, thus the tape SHOULD be inadmissible)
and B) Since they illegally released its contents,
that SHOULD MAKE anything on it inadmissible in court...

New York's wiretapping

law.
New York makes it a crime to record to record or eavesdrop on an in-person or telephone
conversation unless one party to the
conversation consents. ... Penal
Law §§ 250.00, 250.05.
unless Cohen states that the conversation is being taped and Trump does not disagree to it, it is worthless.
