Why does everyone assume it is a man who turned over the tape? So far, it seems to me to be women who are trying to save our democracy.

In California BOTH parties must have notice but not in Wisconsin per the Statute. The facts are extremely valuable to JACK SMITH even if the recording were NOT admissible: connects, parties, timing & overt acts of conspiators not to mention the essential evidence of Criminal Intent. I am NOT a Wisconsin lawyer but, I have litigation experience in Federal Court against aggressive, well funded parties. JACK SMITH's reputation prcedes his work on these cases, little emotion, no bombast -- just puts his cases together methodically. Right person for tough jobs.

Very damning evidence. I have to agree with SandyC, I think people started getting subpoenas and suddendly got Jesus lol.

The recording is lawful in Wisconsin per statute, Section 968.31.

Tell me about this stuff when somebody is ARRESTED and does the perp walk. Will anything ever happen to the ones who actually plotted to overthrow an election or just the 1/6 stooges that were sent to the Capitol?

I’m glad the tapes have been turned over, but 2 years?? I guess there is a lot of legitimate fear of Trump supporters out there. I agree with Sandra, I’d put my money on the source being a woman.

Interesting evidence, good analysis, and I love the simulated negotiation bid at the end. My only quibble is on this line: "And we have it all here, on tape, thanks to a guy who’s already cooperating." Is this guy really cooperating if he refuses to be named? And how can we be certain that the recording is authentic and undoctored? Might it not be disputed?

It would seem at this point that the abundance of evidence is sufficient- enemy of good and all that...

But, on a separate but elephantitic (now words, because....Friday) topic:

Should Trump somehow get on the ballot, well, he is not eligible and that should not stand and We The People should throw the party of all protests and run that seditionist outta town.
