Maybe he was terminally constipated and sitting on the pot, straining. Or he might have forgotten to charge his burner phone. Or the person who bought the burner phones didn't buy enough time, and they all ran out of minutes. Or...
You know there has to be a reasonable explanation for that gap, right?

I'm skeptical anything will come of this, although it should explode all over the Rape-Publicans like a pink glitter bomb.

(2,161 posts)While a several hour gap raises alarms, he did take some time to film a speech, which took several takes because hes a moron and wouldnt condemn the riot forcefully enough
Thats a couple of hours there.
The rest of the time hes on the hook for, though, and we know for a fact from other peoples phone records that he was on the phone a lot during that time.

(3,230 posts)planning his presidential library and preparing his thank you speech for the acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize he was going to win. Also, he was probably, finally, composing his concession speech and then saying a quiet prayer. He then had a cup of herbal tea with finger sandwiches while listening to W. A. Motzart- Symphony No. 41 (1788).

(24,401 posts)or did nothing, it's just as bad IMHO. One of our branches of government was under attack and the guy who was so aggressive with BLM protesters the summer before did nothing to stop it for hours and it's not even clear that he did anything in the end other than tweeting out his love for his peeps and telling them to go home. But I don't buy that he wasn't still working the phones trying to get Senators in line to object to the certification. In fact, don't we know for sure that he was trying to call people? He was certainly on the phone with McCarthy and didn't he mistakenly place a call to a Senator that was meant for another? Guilty as sin.
