So the alleged fact that the Senate has found that the blocked numbers before and after the Trump tower meeting weren't Trump's doesn't rule out Trump being on the other end.

Stone told the Post that Trump would ring him late at night because he "gets almost no sleep," and would call from blocked numbers, sometimes borrowing the phones of friends and aides. "When Donald Trump calls you, he does most of the talking," Stone said. "You do most of the listening."

Senate investigators have obtained new information showing Donald Trump Jr.'s mysterious phone calls ahead of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting were not with his father, three sources with knowledge of the matter told CNN.
Records provided to the Senate Intelligence Committee show the calls were between Trump Jr. and two of his business associates, the sources said, and appear to contradict Democrats' long-held suspicions that the blocked number was from then-candidate Donald Trump.

(14,627 posts)By that time, Mueller had several of those traitors under legal surveillance.
He knows exactly who was called and what was said.
They are all fucked, sideways and backwards.

(14,974 posts)whether or not Don Jr and Trump discussed those meetings either before or after... and the chance they did not is miniscule.
For one thing, Trump was IN THE BUILDING, ONE FLOOR AWAY.
For another thing, a lot of back-and-forth went into setting up that meeting so one can infer it was highly anticipated by Junior, a dope who is persistently desperate for Daddy's approval.
For yet another thing, Trump's campaign manager (Manafort) and primary family-member-campaign-staffer (Jared) attended the meeting too, during a period where campaign staff time was very valuable and limited.
