First, there are witnesses who were present when the tape was made and will vouch for its authenticity and, presumably, will testify to the fact that Trump had a document marked classified in his hands. So the trumpian is dreaming when he/she says the tape won't be admitted into evidence.
Second, how does he know Smith doesn't have the document that Trump was flashing around. There are 31 documents referenced in the indictment. It could be one of those documents.

They know it's damning. It's an act of desperation to claim Jack Smith leaked it.

No, because it was taped by, and owned by, the team writing the Meadows book.
