    I think Cohen leaked news of the hush tape. But FWIW, in Special Master report released yesterday, she described 22 files Cohen claimed were privileged but didn't GAF to fight to prove it. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.491943/gov.uscourts.nysd.491943.93.0.pdf …pic.twitter.com/ee4KFj8h9g

        They didn't fight to prove because the judge in the case ruled that motion practice over privilege determinations would not be under seal.

        That was true of the earlier two. These MIGHT be the same or might, given Cohen's apparent newfound disinterest in protecting Trump, reflect a disinterest in spending money to do so.

        Maybe. But Trump already intervened as the privilege holder, and it was Trump's attorneys, not Cohen's, who asked to have privilege fights under seal and ex parte. Trump's attorneys could fight them even if Cohen's don't.

        Why do you think Cohen v. Trumpworld? Trump team had tapes, so it doesn't help Cohen (in terms of potential pardon). At same time, it's mildly damaging (we knew about McDougal, no payment - used catch & kill) & distracts from Russia. My money's on Giuliani for leak.

        Plus Haberman is saying this is 'apparently the only one,' which sounds like a claim Guiliani would make.

        My money is still on Rudy, but it is possible that Cohen is turning up the heat on Trump to expedite a pardon.

        Yes. Trump team leaking it doesn't make much sense:https://twitter.com/andrewlong166/status/1020346272887246848 …

        Possibly, but seems far too cute by half. As another commenter points out, it blows privilege. And if it truly were privileged, i.e., there's no crime/fraud exception, then Cohen would NOT be able to use it to cooperate.

        I'm with Cheese - my money's on Rudy (or another Trumpist): Suddenly, the talk is not going to be about treason / Russia, but about an old fashioned sex scandal (which won't impact Trump, because his base DGAF).

        Especially when it was 12 years ago. Clinton's fan base didn't GAF when he did it as President, in the oval office. What the left should realize is that all the BS heaped on Trump is bringing him more support, not less. Keep it up!

        12 years ago how weird that he is on tape trying to squash it right before the election. Could be a problem. Maybe that's why he is acting paranoid and lying to America this morning like he does every morning about a "break in." Trump is cornered.

        I view this leak as a signal to Trump. Here’s a damaging recording that probably isn’t all that damaging with your base - but there are others. Lots and lots of others.
