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?https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216543895
Wow are you retarded.
CNN admits that the whole thing is a nothingburger.
Well this certainly shakes my confidence in CNN's stellar reporting going forward. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2022/04/01/medias-7-hour-gap-story-in-white-house-logs-turns-out-to-be-hoax-cnn/
Sadly for those still desperately trying to see Trump locked up for something (or at least stop him from coming back and retaking the White House), the explanation for this “mystery” won’t require any meetings with Deep Throat in a parking garage. The call logs for the President are generated based on calls that go through the White House switchboard. It’s a system that was established back in the 1960s, long before the era of cellphones and other modern communications technology or social media. So the record only reflects calls that go through the main switchboard.On a typical day for Trump, there were records of calls beginning shortly after he got up early in the morning. Those were calls that he made in the residence on a landline and the landline is tied into the switchboard. But once he moved from the residence to the Oval Office, as with many presidents before him, Trump rarely used the landline and he generally didn’t even place his own calls. He would ask someone else to place a call for him and then be patched in when the person was on the line. He also asked aides to place calls via cellphone, either his or their own, taking the phone from them when the other party was on the line.To their credit, CNN spoke to a former staffer who worked in the Oval Office with Barack Obama. He reported that Obama did the exact same thing, having others place his calls and then being patched in. So if you examined Obama’s call logs during similar periods of time you would see a similar gap on most days.
