... that could be called criminal. A group of people who organized a public rally talk to each other on cell phones. So what? And some of those people are with the administration!?! Well, TFG appeared at the rally and gave a speech. Of course his people were talking to the organizers.

Was there anything more sinister going on? Maybe, but so far nothing in the public record shows that to be the case.
