Since people seem to have missed this one, unsealed in the Smith filing:
-Trump used a burner phone, routed through a foreign country to contact Michigan house speaker.
-He tried to pressure the speaker in this off book call.
-Speaker McCarthy knew about the burner phone line.
-The phone showed up as “Spam Risk Egypt” on caller ID.
That seems like a big deal. Proof that he knew this call was something he had to hide.
Regardless of how crooked and obvious of a big deal this is, absolutely nothing will be done about it. The time for consequence in America for politicians has passed.
It’s maddeningly clear that there are powers in place green lighting a criminal enterprise.
If they succeed the future will ask “how the fuck did 320 million people stand by and let it happen?”
We didn’t.
Aren’t we kind of not doing anything though? Looking at somewhat recent events, the trump cult attempted an insurrection when things didn’t go their way. I can’t think of anything to that level on the opposite side.
It better show how un-fucking-official of an act it was and prevent that bullshit president king immunity pass the scrotus gave him.
This shows that. If it were an official act, he would not feel the need to hide it.
Equally important - who set it up for him?
Not trying to be funny.
Oh, please. We all use burner phones routed through Egypt to call Michigan state legislators. It’s as American as Mexican food.
I am still waiting for the taco truck on every corner I was promised if Biden won in 2020
If he bounced it through a foreign telecom/IP network, the NSA has tapes. Lordy.
Even if he didn’t route it through a foreign country, I’m sure they have it. I’m sure they have tons of intel on him. Why they stand by and do nothing with it? We may never know.
I would be willing to wager they have the voice transcripts of every call made in the last ten years
I’m sure of it. Yet he remains a free man, openly conspiring against the country, committing crimes and plotting treason. But anyone who’s capable of doing something about is either in on it, or seemingly unconcerned.
I’m waiting with bated breath for this to be picked up by a more neutral source so I can boost the shit out of this without being dismissible.
Or you could, you know, look directly at the primary source material helpfully excerpted and screen capped for you right in the Tweet…
Meh. Too much work, hopefully someone else has 15 seconds and enough energy to do it so you can “boost” it.
If this isn’t an emblem for the state of society right now, I don’t know what is.
