TBA's Theory: Trump uses an insecure cell phone as direct way to send information to Russia.

.

The more and more I see this clown operate, and ignore the advice of the IC and security protocols, leads me to come to one conclusion. He's using those devises on purpose, as a way to transmit signals to Russian operatives without an overt outreach to Putin.


More from The Washington Post:

Phone records released this week by the House Intelligence Committee revealed extensive communications between Giuliani, unidentified people at the White House and others involved in the campaign to pressure Ukraine, with no indication that those calls were encrypted or otherwise shielded from foreign surveillance.

The revelations raise the possibility that Moscow was able to learn about aspects of Trump’s attempt to get Ukraine to investigate a political rival months before that effort was exposed by a whistleblower report and the impeachment inquiry, officials said.

Trump is not identified by name in the House phone records, but investigators said they suspect he may be a person with a blocked number listed as “-1” in the files. And administration officials said separately that Trump has communicated regularly with Giuliani on unsecured lines.

“It happened all the time,” said one former senior aide, who noted that Giuliani had a range of foreign clients.

I have a second theory. All brontosauruses are thin at one end; much, much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine and what it is, too.

It's not that he's such a dotard that he can't learn to use a new phone. He doesn't want to.

I'm sure Russia has his SIM information and knows exactly what to scan to capture his conversations.


He is doing this to put Putin in the driver's seat with direct knowledge as to whatever is going on with the USA and allies. There is no need to descramble conversations. I'm sure world leaders don't know what is going on with regards to their 'private conversations' with him. I also wouldn't be surprised if he calls a dummy number to transmit conversations in the Oval Office or when he's on speakerphone with other world leaders.

...separate from US Intel oversight.

IIRC, this was something that Jared was working with Kysliak and it dried up once it went public. So - next best thing, invite Vlad onto the party line with anyone and everyone.
