It's strange and sad how bravado and sarcasm are subtleties that are (currently) lost to or wasted on the general population. Is it a sign that the general population is getting seriously dumbed down? Humor and irony need an audience with a shared sense of history and cultural context for them to make any sort of sense. A joke isn't funny if you have to stop and patiently explain it. Whoooosh.
Trumps “admission of guilt” within that audio would have been very damaging to him at trial. If it were true. If in fact Smith had those documents that Trump was boasting about.
But because that audio was full of “bravado” Smith figured he could leak it to CNN and try to create damage to Trump in the court of public opinion.
Did it work? Do people still think Trump boasted about having classified documents? Probably.

Anti Trump partisans have already shown over & over again that they’re morons who lack a sense of humor.
“I could shoot somebody on 5th avenue & not lose voters.”
The democrats actually used this one in a court case during the Trump Presidency.
“Russia are you listening, the press will reward you for the missing emails.”
Democrats scream treason.
Now the idiocy is involving courts and the same idiots take the same bait, again.
“Silly Rabbits.”
