On cross examination, Emil Bove focuses on the fact that the call detail logs do not show the content of the calls -- just the fact that a call was made. And he suggests there could be other explanations for a call being made.

You've heard of a pocket dial, right?

End snip.

These peeps get paid hugely for this.

1. Who puts a phone in a back pocket?

7. See it all the time. Have done it myself when shopping/walking.

Won't fit in front pocket, and more likely to damage it there. Don't really carry it enough to warrant buying a holder.

14. Lots of people. And you can "butt dial" from a front pocket as well. I do it on occasion.

Not saying that's what happened, but not going to criticize defense counsel for doing whatever they can to create doubt in the jury's mind. That's their job.

2. TFG's lawyers have insulted him in every other way whilst asking

their questions or making their arguments... So why not lean into the short finger thing as an explanation for inadvertent dialings?

3. Logs reveal the length of a call

butt dial calls don't include an extended conversation. That should be easy to establish or refute.

13. Every call I make or receive shows time involved.

15. I've been on both sides of some pretty lengthy butt dial calls.

4. Donnie's butt has been way too involved in the proceedings so far.

5. Well, TFG talks out his butt, so in a way, it was butt dialing.

6. He is gonna be butt hurt

when this is over

8. The Trump attorneys cannot even lie convincingly.

They are not putting much effort into any of this.

9. Diaper-butt dials are the stinking worst

As repubes know only too well.

10. JFC! The only way this entire 9 year period could become more of a "goatrope"

would be for the media to explain how these "butt dials" are "bad for Biden".

BTW - I am not putting that past them.

Chuck : "does this show President Biden is out of touch? Who amongst us haven't accidentally butt-dialed someone?" Andrea?....

11. Every phone call Trump ever makes is 'butt dialing', technically speaking

he's a butt, and he's dialing

[Grins]

12. Whose phone?

The orange flatulent-fraud used the cell phones of the taint-sniffers around him (some of whom had multiple cell phones) to make calls that he didn't want traced. Lookin' at you Keith Schiller, Dan Scavino, and Matty "The Squid" Calimari!

Note: The RNC paid Schiller $15,000 a month from October 2017 after he left the White House; thru to December 2020.
