Trump still uses his personal cell phone despite warnings and increased call scrutiny

Trump still uses his personal cell phone despite warnings and increased call scrutiny - CNNPolitics

President Donald Trump has continued to use his personal cell phone to make calls, despite repeated warnings from his staff that the practice could leave him vulnerable to foreign surveillance, multiple officials told CNN.

The Democratic impeachment inquiry has resurrected concerns about the security and potential vulnerability of the President's communications. Witness testimony revealed some top officials repeatedly failed to follow protocol intended to prevent sensitive phone conversations, including those involving the President, from being intercepted by foreign intelligence services

But but but her e-mails!

Trump and his supporters never cared about issues related to classified information or our national security with regard to the Clinton e-mail controversy. It was all just an excuse to attack Clinton.

And he and Rudy, who also uses his own private cell phone, talk with each other daily when Rudy is in Ukraine, like right now. Ukraine's communications are are the most thoroughly penetrated country on earth by Russia. Everything Trump tells Rudy are things he's also telling Russia. But when you think about it, that wouldn't concern Trump one bit if he's actually a Russian asset and has been from the start.

We had the same issue with Obama, just let it die.

Warnings and increased scrutiny are not the DOD, or DOJ telling him that he cannot use his own phone. So long as he follows the necessary steps, he can still use it.

Why should Trump care about Russia hearing his phone calls? After all, the entire Oval Office is probably bugged straight to Putin after Trump's giggle-fest with Sergey Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak, when he not only spilled one of Israel's most highly guarded secrets, he also told the Russians that he wasn't worried about security matters. At that point I'm sure the two Sergeys planted bugs all over the place, since the only American in the room was their good buddy, Trump, who "wasn't worried about security".

I wasn't the one complaining about Clinton's e-mails to the point where I was suggesting she should be locked up...

Trump was...and so were Trump's cultish followers.

I wonder what people will find when he leaves the White House. not just the bugs, but all the transcripts and records he has been accused of hiding in classified files.

Am I missing something? If Donald Trump and his supporters succeed in making their case against Hunter Biden, wouldn't that set a precedent that would end Trump's presidency and bring down much, if not all, of the Trump family? Are they accusing the younger Biden of anything the Trump kids aren't doing in plain sight? D.V.W., Everett, VA

A: We're going to start with a statement that is enormously judgmental. Trying to be diplomatic and soft-peddle it would just waste everyone's time, so we're going to come right out with it: Trump, his family, his base, and much of the GOP establishment that supporters him are enormous hypocrites.

I like the Q/A article. With respect to the first question I think a lot of it has to do with psychology. A significant fraction of Trump's support comes with people who score high on authoritarian personality traits. For them, it's not so much about the principle of the thing. It's about people being in their rightful place...beneath them.

Also, interwoven with that sort of psychological undercurrent, is this sort of mentality that Trump supporters have adopted that Democrats and Trump critics are not real people, real citizens, with actual rights, that they don't have any right whatsoever to participate in the same legal and political processes as they do.

Does a dog have any right tell you that you can't screw over a subcontractor? What does an ant have to say about ethics and law and duty?

I too, "liked" (in the sense of finding them thought provoking) the question and answer.

Unfortunately both the question and answer distressed me a great deal as they appear to say something VERY significant about the course that American society has embarked upon.

That course CAN be changed.

The question is "Does the American people have the will to do so?".

I wish that I was as confident in a "Yes." as I would like to be.

None of us cared that the lot of you were sad that Epstein died either.

Then again, in Hillary's case. It was most likely that she had protection. Because I don't think it's legal for a person to destroy evidence, and public record. Especially when they're ordered to hand all of it over.

But it must've had some rather incriminating items on it, if she felt the need to erase all of it with the kind of software that they used.

It's been equipped with all the latest security features. Prove it's not.

Also, the President has access 24/7/365 to other communication devices with ultimate security.

Yes, Obama got to keep his BlackBerry...with enhanced encryption and limitations on use.


..Warnings and increased scrutiny are not the DOD, or DOJ telling him that he cannot use his own phone...

Nope, it would be the Presidential Records Act, which requires archiving presidential communications, telling him that.


...So long as he follows the necessary steps, he can still use it.

And that's the question, whether he's following the necessary steps? Aside from not preserving records and potential hacking/malware infection, a concern is the GPS of an unsecured phone makes it easier to pinpoint the President's location.

He is probably just ordering KFC from Grub Hub no State secrets there.

Care for a refreshing beverage? Russell would be happy to pour you a nice cup of tea.

And presumably to unsecured ones.

Someone loves making up silly stories! Especially stories to attack Rudy and the president. :doh

Fake News @CNN is reporting that I am “still using personal cell phone for calls despite repeated security warnings.” This is totally false information and reporting. I haven’t had a personal cell phone for years. Only use government approved and issued phones. Retract!

This is pure fiction. You believe this because Hannity told you to believe it. It's amazing how effective propaganda is.

According to the FBI the order on part of Clinton's assistant to destroy the e-mails came many months before the request for the e-mails were made. Hannity didn't tell you that, did he?

They were also to find the e-mails that were deleted. You see, when e-mails are sent to someone else, the recipient of those e-mails gets a copy. That's how e-mails work. And the FBI found there was nothing untoward in the deleted e-mails, indicating they had not been deleted to cover anything up. Hannity didn't tell you that, did he?

If you have evidence indicating Clinton ordered the evidence to be destroyed. Share it.

Oh, you don't believe the CNN article because Trump told you it wasn't true. LOL!

I find it amusing you think Trump is telling the truth at any given moment in time. That's very funny.

You must be a very gullible person.

You'd think at this point you'd be able to admit you've been conned by a con man, but I guess the truth hurts too much to admit.

This seems worse and more serious than Hillary Clinton using personal email and a personal email server
