"Spam risk Egypt" was the new "John Barron" for Trump when fixing elections

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.'

We have constantly heard talking heads, bemoaning… “If only we could prove his state of mind… his malice aforethought… we could charge him” WELL??!!
Is this not proof?

They know better that intent isn't all that difficult to prove because ACTIONS INDICATE INTENT.

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.

As soon as I read that, my first thought was, "Oh good, more evidence that shows knowledge or intent of wrongdoing!"

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

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.

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?

We had a Mobster Boss as the leader of the free world. Threatening leaders like Zelensky and pressuring people like Chatfield and Shirkey to do his bidding. Chatfield and Shirkey are about as sketchy as they come but even they wouldn't go that low...
