Does leaked audio--recorded without consent--have a place? Yes. Especially if it's political views: Romney & Clinton's fundraiser comments.

Did the private conversation reveal something that an honest assessment of decades of public behavior did not? Not sure it passes that bar.

I think it does. There are women who alleged Trump did the things he describes doing in the tape. They were not believed.

Now he has admitted to doing those things. That removes the "well, just allegations" method of brushing it away.

Rather than being redundant with the public record I think this will cause people to reevaluate the public record.

The NYT may be about to publish something shortly about a former Miss Utah.
