Since people seem to have missed this one, unsealed in the Smith filing:

-Trump used a burner phone, routed through a foreign country to contact Michigan house speaker.

-He tried to pressure the speaker in this off book call.

-Speaker McCarthy knew about the burner phone line.

-The phone showed up as “Spam Risk Egypt” on caller ID.

      Fair enough, but a decent actor could probably work as well.

        Or a third grade actor like Trump?

        There is, after all, all the witness testimony from his side of the call.

          I understand we have all the proof now, but back then, how can someone get intimidated by a call that could easily be fake.
