Forget Cohen recording Trump discussing McDougal, what else did he secretly tape?

If Cohen was secretly taping Trump just for routinely buying off his mistresses, then he must have also recorded Trump's criminal shenanigans that put him in illegal jeopardy. Trump sent Cohen to deal with the Russians so is it on tape when he told Cohen what to do when he met with a Russian oligarch at Trump Tower? Did Cohen tape what Trump told him to do when he went to Moscow during the campaign, or when he met with Russian intelligence agent in Prague in the last weeks of the campaign?

What about all those iffy financial dealings that passed through Cohen’s hands, did Trump talk about those vast unreported sums? Was Trump laundering money through Cohen for either cash-for-access or straight-out bribes?

So the FBI's got access to any tapes which touch upon potential future illegal acts.

And because Trump can't breath without grifting, everything that Cohen and Trump discussed which involved money (which is everything, of course) probably involved some kind of fraud or campaign finance violation.
