That's something I don't get. We all lol'd when Trump was screaming ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE IS DEAD, but shouldn't those tapes be inadmissible in anything?
Sounds like Cohen has some recordings.

Not if crimes were discussed.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Yeah, I think attorney-client privilege goes out the window when the attorney is actually a party to the crimes in question rather than just defending the client after the fact like normal. (But we should probably ask one of our actual resident lawyers to be sure.)

EDIT: Also, I would think the recordings would need to have been made with client permission, otherwise they'd be useless, right?

Not if they’re going after Cohen. And if Cohen is an accomplice, then...
I’m not a lawyer, I don’t know. But otherwise, everyone would break the law with the help of lawyers, and then claim nothing’s admissible, no?

Yeah, I'm loathe to opine either way. I'm just slightly distrustful when the sources are vague and everyone jumps right to, "Cohen has tapes of Trump saying stuff! Oh man his goose is cooked this time!" when that is the reaction to every little thing. Hehe. Trump must have more cooked goose than he knows what to do with by now.
I don't know what Cohen has obviously. As to your second point, if Obama had done 1/100th of the shit Trump has, he'd have been shot into the ionosphere. So we know he's guilty, everyone else does too. Just have to put non-cowards in government.
