From https://www.democraticunderground.com/10588883 , but I think more than Michigan needs to hear about this:

'fmr Michigan state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey says he was given a heads up by the state house speaker that Trump might call him and that it would show up on his phone as "Spam risk Egypt."'
'Seems Trump used a burner phone with a coded number to make his calls leaning on state officials to change election results.'

Every day, people go to jail for standing on a street corner known for drug transactions, with baggies of drugs in their pockets, small bills for making change, in the company of other known drug dealers, and changing baggies for money.
The cops jacked up the drug dealer, and the court system tried and convicted him, no psych eval necessary. Because the dealer's ACTIONS INDICATED INTENT.
Same thing with the bewigged bozo. You don't use a burner phone to call people to do something illegal if you are not intending to do something illegal.

This is just the kind of stuff Jack Smith needs to convict Trump's ass.

(21,573 posts)drumpf has access to phone lines in the white house. the fact he would use a burner phone goes to intent and can be used to prove he knew what he was doing was wrong.

(7,302 posts)If a cell phone uses wi-fi, is there a way to use a VPN to route the call? Because that could produce a caller ID that looks like that, right?
Or rather, if using an online app/tool to make a voice call (instead of a cell phone using wifi), and you have a VPN, what does caller ID say?
