Exclusive: CNN obtains the tape of Trump's 2021 conversation about classified documents | CNN Politics

You can listen to the recording on the article.

From the text:

The recording, which first aired on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” includes new details from the conversation that is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information, including a moment when Trump seems to indicate he was holding a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.

"Bring some Cokes in please." You can't pay for that kind of advertising. A Coke and a smile.
- Coca-Cola: the official drink of treason.
  This is almost as bad as Pearl Harbor: Brought to You by Winston Cigarettes, an advertising campaign that will live in infamy.

  What's this in reference to? I tried googling for relevant keywords but predictably I didn't get jack shit
- I'm not that familiar with drugs, but shouldn't it be singular? "Bring some coke in"? Or is it nowadays pre-portioned?
  
  You are probably trolling but I'm going to bite anyway, it's cokes as in coca cola.
  
  He was referring to the drink not the drug, but yes is the answer to your question. He pluralized it for some reason. Maybe a joke, maybe the other person wanted a coke as well. Maybe he's dumb and doesn't understand how to make words go together well.

My biggest fear is from the post I read that said that, in cases like these, the Justice Department will frequently offer the defendant a sweetheart plea deal. The information is so classified that it can’t be used as evidence for national security, and he will get little more than a slap on the wrist again.
- I've been wrong before, but I can't imagine Trump accepting a plea deal.
  Mostly I'd be worried about actually being able to finding a decent jury without one nutjob who refuses to convict under any circumstance.
  
  oh god you're right - it will be the ultimate hung jury and it will be annoying af.
  the good thing is, in the current climate I can't see Trump getting reelected.
  
  Jury trials are possibly something I'm too European to understand. They just seem like such a minefield

Please stop giving that man air time.

I’d still really like to know the source. It’s not hard to use AI to fake audio only and I doubt the trumpets will convict on audio only
- It was provided by reporter(s) that were with Trump gathering background for Mark Meadows book. He knew they were there, who they were and presumably he was being recorded, or at least being transcribed, and felt it appropriate to share those files. Assuming they and the aides in the room are on the witness list, which apperently will be unsealed unless the Special Council appeals today's ruling.

I'm curious who leaked it. Just as the DOJ started turning over discovery something leaks after months of secrecy.

Someone still believe what mainstream media say?
- You only have to believe your own ears. It's a tape with corroborating witnesses who were in the room.
