(3,344 posts)It was reported that Trump Jr. was not on phone with Trump (we don't know that, but apparently the numbers aren't Trump's). One of the people is Howard Lorber, a very close friend of Trump.

(7,142 posts)I doesn't prove who the conversation was with. I would be more interested to find out the location of Lorber's phone at the time of the call.
I find it curious that Trump business partners, friends, have blocked phones. Why? Is that normal?

(54,770 posts)If speculation and what we think happened was going to get trump, he'd be out of office by now.

(86,978 posts)that LOSER45 is known to use others' phones, quite regularly. And with the knowledge that Cohen had a pile of "burn" phones, I wouldn't write off a call to daddy just yet.
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)after meeting.
The speculation has been the calls were to daddy. That, assuming this story is true, is now quashed.
Now we can come up with all kinds of things that could have happened, like Junior met with daddy after meeting and had girls urinate on them while dad was updated. But that hasn't caused Senators to do anything, or even trump supporters to go against him.
If this story is true, one of the easy roads to proving trump new of collusion is blocked. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but proving it is going to be more difficult.
Personally, I think if Mueller had the goods on trump, he'd have said so by now rather than let a traitor do more damage to the country. I'm ready for Mueller to issue a report, and let the House take action on it if there is enough there. If not, we better figure out another way to beat trump if he decides to run (which seems less and less likely).
Worst case, is trump decides not to run, the Mueller investigations sort of fades away except for a few underlings, GOPers run some sort of palatable candidate in 2020 and manage to label our candidates a danger to our country. All that is laughable after trump, but 50% of country seems to be fine with the likes of trump.

I'm not anywhere close to a millionaire or a billionaire, and I can't imagine just handing my phone over to someone to do whatever they want with. That's like asking to be robbed, have information stolen, or have someone impersonate you to anyone they choose.

Don Jr simply walks over to his father's room, and discusses matters in person?

(50,334 posts)for the Hillary email dirt. Maybe the phone he was calling was a made up person like John Barron. Who the hell knows? The only sure thing is that this is a crime family. End of story.

watoos
(7,142 posts)that Uday called a phone registered to Lorber it certainly doesn't prove that the conversation was with Lorber.
I would be more interested to know where the phone was located at the time of the call. Lorber could have even registered the phone and given it to Trump.
What is very curious to me, is it customary for business friends of Trump to be using phones with blocked numbers? Why?
This story stinks. CNN got played and ABC picked up on it.
watoos
(7,142 posts)that Uday talked with Lorber, that cannot be established. The only thing that can be proven is that Uday called a phone registered to Lorber.
No more Nathan's hot dogs for me, that's Lorber's company.
