"The President appears to have used an unsecured burner phone for over seven hours while in the White House in the midst of an attempted insurrection, the goal of which was to unlawfully overturn the result of the democratic election removing him from power."

"But her e-mails."

1. He was known to use other people's phones. I guess they wouldn't pick up they knew it was him

2. This bombshell is going to fizzle too. First, there is a 2+ hour gap that is easily explainable--

trump gave a 70 minute speech at noon standing in front of WH lying about the "stolen election."

Then, his handlers had to get him prepared for his speech later that day calling for all the lovely people to go home.

He probably spent 2 hours in the bathroom looking at himself in the mirror.

4. they know who he talked to during that gap

We know the people who received calls or talked to Trump during the gap: Mike Lee, Jim Jordan, Mike Pence, etc. Get their records, identify the incoming number, and then you’ve got the phone(s) Trump was using.

11. When TFG said "I have no idea what a burner phone is"....that's the

projection tell. He knows what they are, had one, used one.

Only a moron in his Cult believes him. He has projected his entire life. "Russia, no collusion, no nothing" (Don Jr., Stupid Eric,= "We make so much money from Russia, we don't need banks"....on and on...

12. So the guy..,

So the guy who knows more about technology than anybody and has one of the world’s all-time great memories doesn’t know what a burner phone is and can’t recall if he ever heard the term.

"I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term."
