They don't actually need Cohen to know what's on the tapes. Still good news though.

I wonder whether he confirms the secret trip to Prague and detail what was discussed and done there and who he met with. If Mueller gets Prague and Cogen connected, he has Trump and a few others, no way Cohen does that on his own.

That is what he told Al Sharpton. He is concerned about he will be viewed years from now. I don't think he is going to like how he is viewed since he is no hero by any means. He is a threatening, greedy thug/mobster, crook. If they didn't raid his offices and home he would still be tRump's "best guy, great person".
