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.
Please stop giving that man air time.
I’m curious who leaked it. Just as the DOJ started turning over discovery something leaks after months of secrecy.
“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 dreamt it up, my friend
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.
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.
Can’t you? Every time Trump gets caught breaking the law it’s spun as a political attack on conservatism. It’s sunk-cost fallacy. They have bought into so many of his lies that to cast doubt on him calls into question who they even are.
I figure anything that puts Trump in front of a camera works to his advantage. Will it swing an election in his favor? Who knows? That’s over a year away - you can’t really say anything for certain.

As bad as he is, if he becomes ineligible to run, there are equally bad GOP candidates standing in the wings, except they’re more competent and are willing to fuck over the country far worse than Trump was able to.
Yeah it’s so stressful to think about. The only good thing to come out of this is a less-apathetic voting demographic between 18-35. Let’s hope it’s enough to keep the fascists at bay.
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.
