What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!
Answer: the only kind of lawyer willing to work for a felon who doesn't pay his lawyers.

Trump authorized (or chose not to fight) the release of this tape. Either he's forgotten or he's a really good actor.

How would he fight it? It was already deemed not privileged and in New York you only need the consent of one of the parties to be recorded.

Attorney client privilege would prevent the release of the tape, unless the attorney or client is discussing a crime.

I don't get why Trump's lawyers would waive privilege to the tapes. What are they trying to do here?

Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, said in a tweet that Trump and his legal team had waived the privilege to the tapes. One of Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani, confirmed the waiver in an interview with Reuters.

Actually, never mind, found it in another article.

Over the past couple of days, there have been some questions raised about why Giuliani hadn’t been challenging the release of this recording between Trump and his then-lawyer Cohen on grounds that it is covered by attorney-client privilege. It’s one thing for Giuliani to say that, but to actually challenge that, as Law&Crime reported, he’d be exposing himself to some risk. Trump and Giuliani would have to raise most legal objections to evidence in public. If they were to be shut down, it would embarrassing. Worse yet, if they disputed evidence that is covered by the “crime-fraud exception,” it would be damning.

President Trump, as mentioned, also decided to chime in on the Cohen tape.

because they think the tapes show there wasn't actually a campaign finance law violation. They think this is like the John Edwards case, which was dropped.

i think he is both senile and crazy. he honestly doesn't know minute to minute what he has and hasn't done.

That probably hurts even more to know that senile and crazy dude outplayed educated and intelligent liberals.

As a former R, it hurts to know that senile and crazy dude outplayed educated and intelligent conservatives. He outplayed everyone.

Trump says the tape may be doctored. Sure, why not?

To be fair, looks like he had some help.

Or...they are being proactive because they want to say that it is McDougal (despite no name being mentioned) instead of Shera Bechard, the playboy girl who got an abortion.

As an American, it should hurt to know that senile and crazy dude is in charge and no one sane will stand up to him or remove him. And to think (current) Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism. Patriotism is not lying to the people, attacking the press, stifling dissent and freedom of speech. That's not democracy, either.

I want to know who else in on the Cohen tapes - HANNITY??????? Give us the juicy details, Michael Cohen! PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!!!

[Anonymous]

They got out in front of it because they didn't want a federal judge ruling that the tapes were subject to conspiracy crimes closer to the election. They are betting/hoping this will be forgotten by August.

It wasn’t “dropped.” Edwards went to trial and was acquitted. This looks like a stronger case, however.

+1 he didn't want to open up the privilege issue either, which could be used to rule on other matters.

Didn't Team Trump also release a transcript of what was alleged to be on the tape and it was basically made-up?

Yes, Giuliani is claiming that Trump said “don’t pay cash.” That’s not what I hear on the tape.
