As this tape adds to the legal scrutiny around Trump, it's integral that he not win re-election. If he does, the US will see the DOJ transformed into a vendetta machine purposed toward revenge.

The leaked audio by CNN is merely a political exercise to influence the public. As the documents from the audio released by the CNN narrative engineers are inconsistent with the documents stated to have been found by the DOJ and FBI, the recording will never be used in court. Being of no legal value, the audio has merely been leaked to once again generate a public narrative that appeases the left's ideology.
