[font size=5]Report: Donald Trump Rigged Phones at Florida Estate To Eavesdrop On Guests[/font]
According to BuzzFeeds sources, Trump kept what was essentially a switchboard in his bedroom that allowed him to tap into phone calls made by any of the hundred or so people staying at Mar-A-Lago:
.... Four of them speaking on condition of anonymity because they signed nondisclosure agreements said that Trump listened in on phone calls at the club during the mid-2000s. They did not know if he eavesdropped more recently.
They said he listened in on calls between club employees or, in some cases, between staff and guests. None of them knew of Trump eavesdropping on guests or members talking on private calls with people who were not employees of Mar-a-Lago. They also said that Trump could eavesdrop only on calls made on the clubs landlines and not on calls made from guests cell phones.
The existence of the switchboard was confirmed even by BuzzFeed sources who maintain that Trump did not use it for nefarious purposes, but Im having a hard time thinking of someone who I would trust less with the power to choose to eavesdrop on his guests than Donald Trump. ....

[font size=5]Why in the World Might Donald Trump Assume People Are Listening in on His Calls?[/font]
At least twice, Donald Trump has publicly insisted that he assumes a third party is listening in each and every time he picks up the phone. Also, multiple employees claim that Trump used to listen in on the calls of his staff and guests at his Mar-A-Lago resort. Might the steak mans paranoia and his alleged eavesdropping somehow, perhaps, be related? ....
Assume everybodys listening to you. I always do. Every time I pick up a phone, I assume people are listening, you know. You sue their ass off if they are. If you can find them, you drop a little lawsuit on them, and you make them pay, big league.....

I'm beginning to agree with that fascist that shooting people in Times Square would increase his popularity among angry morons. He seems to know his fan base really well.

(Sound of telephone ringing - the phone is answered and we here Michael say
Michael Palin : Hello I am just listening to this record with my wife and our au-pair and Id like to say how shocked we are that a pleasant collection of Norwegian folk songs should be turned into an excuse for communist propaganda of the shoddiest kind. Whats gone wrong with the world. I cant even take a bath without 6 or 7 communists jumping in with me. Theyre in my shirt cupboard and Breshnev and Kosegan are in the kitchen now eating my wifes jam. Oh they are cutting off my legs. I can see them peeping out of my wifes blouse. Why doesnt Mr Maulding do something about it before it is to late. Ohhhh

(34,137 posts)Florida's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Florida makes it a crime to intercept or record a "wire, oral, or electronic communication" in Florida, unless all parties to the communication consent. See Fla. Stat. ch. 934.03. Florida law makes an exception for in-person communications when the parties do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation, such as when they are engaged in conversation in a public place where they might reasonably be overheard. If you are operating in Florida, you may record these kinds of in-person conversations without breaking the law. However, you should always get the consent of all parties before recording any telephone conversation and any in-person that common sense tells you is private.
In addition to subjecting you to criminal prosecution, violating the Florida wiretapping law can expose you to a civil lawsuit for damages by an injured party.
