Aaron Blake: “From the moment we learned the extent of the 7.5-hour gap in White House records of President Trump’s phone calls on Jan. 6, 2021, the question has been: How did this happen? Could it just be sloppy record-keeping — that so happened to overlap with the most critical and problematic portion of that day (that is, the insurrection)? Could Trump have used burner phones? Or could someone even have engaged in Watergate-style tampering?”
“The answer isn’t just a matter of curiosity; it could matter legally. Coverups, after all, can be used to prove criminal intent. And the Jan. 6 investigation is trending in that direction, with some recent validation.”
“All of the above-mentioned options are viable, given what we know so far.”
