(6,243 posts)30. Also remember how they wanted a "back door"
communication network during the Years of Darkness, aka 2016-2021, and we kind of thought because it became public knowledge that they didn't do it? I'm willing to bet they did establish one with the help of Putin. Despite him being brazen about making calls to Putin using his personal phone it does not mean that was the only line of communication. Putin was not about to get into details etc. over someone's personal phone.
There's no way that someone as ignorant of matters as the Orange Ruski knew on his own which documents to grab as he left. Someone was working on the "list" and there is no way the "job" was discussed in a manner open to US Intel detection.

But will the Royal Subversive Court issue an edict that the phones became official by his touch?

I think this has been forgotten but during Trumps time there were a lot of spy cell sites in DC (called Stingers)
