Sort of buried in last Friday’s the 13th News — was the “Seizure of Cohen Tapes.”
… or at least the game-changing significance of such “Michael Cohen souvenirs.”
Did FBI Seize Trump's Taped Conversations With Michael Cohen? President's Inner Circle Worries Yes: Report
[...]
"We heard he had some proclivity to make tapes," an adviser to the president told The Washington Post. "Now we are wondering, who did he tape? Did he store those someplace where they were actually seized?... Did they find his recordings?"
Cohen has historically taped conversations with his associates, later storing them digitally and sometimes playing them back for his colleagues, sources close to Cohen told the outlet. No one is sure whether Cohen continued this practice during his meetings with his most powerful client, the president, but some say there's a good chance he did: Sources tell the Post that the Trump attorney recorded "both business and political conversations," including those with Trump's advisers.

Should FBI agents have gotten their hands on recorded conversations between Cohen and Trump, it could be just what Mueller needs to build his case against not just Trump's campaign staff, but Trump himself.

But Friday wasn’t done with Cohen yet. Hours later, in what may have been the worst news of the day for him, ABC News reported that the FBI had seized audio recordings from his office during their raid. What’s on those tapes is anyone’s guess, but it probably isn’t Cohen reciting from an ethics-law textbook.

Federal agents who raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room this week seized recordings, sources familiar with the raid tell ABC News.

On Wednesday, Cohen told ABC News: “I just want my stuff back.”
It was the secret tapes that brought down the Nixon’s law-breaking presidency.
No wonder Trump and Cohen look like they saw a ghost, since that Frightful Friday.
… The ghosts of their individual careers — and their many Lies propping them up — going down the public drain … like the intertwined piles of BS Con-artists, that they both really are.
Karma just turned a page … it’s time to let Justice prevail, finally.
