As i've told a number of reporters today, I'm underwhelmed with the #TrumpTape, standing by itself, as proof of a campaign finance violation (though it certainly gives plenty of reason to fully investigate). /1

But speaking politically, it shows how much the goal posts have moved with Trump. For any other president/presidential candidate, a tape like this about potential reimbursement of hush money to pay off playmate to keep quiet about affair would be YUGE political scandal. /6

But a scandal does not prove illegality. The key point to keep in mind is that this is a piece of evidence in isolation. Cohen knows a lot more, and there is a lot more evidence. It may well be proven to be illegal activity. But the tape alone does not resolve the matter. 7/7
