1. Loose Gums sink bums

I bet they thought they were being all high-tech and suave and shit…

3. swave and deboner, that's what they thought.

4. Hah

In this case they are not burner phones, they are boner phones.

It’s like they took a highlighter and marked the conversation for the prosecutor: pay special attention, exceptional consciousness of guilt.

12. I'm 90% sure

When the "docudrama series" is made of this, they'll be playing a barely distorted version of Austin Powers music behind it.

2. Rolling Stone Identifies Who Got 2 of the 3 Phones

What I want to know is who had the 3rd burner phone. Might it have been Trump himself? And on another matter, was Trump on a burner phone as his kids met with the Russians in the Trump Tower meeting in 2016? There was an unknown phone number that Jr. called from that meeting. Indeed, how widespread was the use of burner phones by Trump and his people for the last 5 years? You can bet it was not a one time deal.

5. I thought the whole point of burner phones ...

... was that they can't be tied to an individual. You buy a TracFone and a pre-paid minutes card with cash, activate it, and off you go. Sure the data is there, but who is to say whose data it is?

7. geolocation specifics...

will pinpoint who was where when calls were made. The Capitol Complex is very good at locating phone signatures.

[Straw Man]

10. Right, but ...

... how do you tie a phone to an individual if it was purchased with cash and activated anonymously? All the geolocation can tell you is where the phone was -- not who was using it.

[druidity33]

11. I assume they have messages

and other info beyond the location specifics. And who knows, maybe the person who bought the phones was really stupid? (I'm looking at you Bannon)

[Straw Man]

14. Maybe so.

The speakers would have to be stupid enough to identify themselves or each other by name. Yes, that's a possibility.

[KentuckyWoman]

13. IF they did it all right it is difficult to do it iron clad.

Coupled with the 9 zillion security cams in the world plus idiot mistakes that bunch celebrates as "genius", they'll get pretty darn close to iron clad if they have the will to do it.

[reACTIONary]

8. According to "sources"...

.... What I can read of the article (paywall) says that "according to sources" burner phones were used. You don't need telephone records if you have "sources". And burner phones can't protect you from them.

6. Sounds like an idea that might have been by

the tRumps IT adviser, the former Mayor of NY.

[CentralMass]

9. Rudy does have some experience with cell phones .
