Jan. 6 organizers used burner phones to communicate with Trump family, White House: report
By Joseph Choi - 11/24/21 04:28 PM EST

Organizers of the "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the deadly Capitol attack on Jan. 6 allegedly communicated with members of former President Trump's family and administration, according to Rolling Stone magazine.

Multiple sources told Rolling Stone that Kylie Kremer, an organizer for the rally that took place at D.C.'s Ellipse park, had an aide buy three burner phones a few days before Jan. 6. Kremer said that it was "of the utmost importance" that the phones be purchased with cash, one source, who was a member of the March for Trump team, told the magazine.

Kremer kept one of the phones herself, while another was reportedly given to her mother, Amy Kremer, who was also an organizer of the rally. Sources could not say who the third was given to.


According to Rolling Stone, the phones were used to communicate with high-ranking members of Trump's inner circle, including his son Eric Trump, daughter-in-law and former campaign official Lara Trump, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Trump surrogate Katrina Pierson.

Speaking of when Kylie Kremer bought the phones, the March for Trump member said, “That was when the planning for the event on the Ellipse was happening, she needed burner phones in order to communicate with high-level people is how she put it."

I tend to doubt this report, considering the considerable involvement of the FBI in this entire fiasco.

[Smokin Joe]

Burner phones are used to thwart proof of involvement, so what went wrong, and how do we know whose burner phone was whose? (Are these FBI plants, or in the absence of the phones, how does anyone prove who was actually calling who?)

What was illegal about planning a rally?

Ifn it is reported in "The Hill," you can be sure that it is garbage!

Add the Rolling Stone to the mix and you have totally credibility of reporting.

Annndddd.....THIS is the cogent point. The short answer is that absolutely nothing is illegal about planning a rally.

The long answer is this. Planning political events these days requires some internal security and the ability to keep competitors...ie Democrats...from knowing exactly what you are doing and how you are doing it. Much as corporations take steps to prevent their rivals from knowing their business plans and strategies, so do political organizations seek to lock out rival interests from their internal planning. Not to mention, and its almost surreal that this is happening, rogue Feds like the FBI who seem hellbent on advocating for the Dems to the extent of initiating covert targeting of conservative groups and causes.

If Donald Trump is guilty of phone calls received by his son, how about we apply that standard to Joe Biden being guilty of any phone calls made to or from HIS son Hunter?  Joe and Hunter could well be a lower form/level of global mafia family.
 
The phony hypocrisy is enormous!

By the way, burner phones have been tracked and criminals gone to jail, they were on camera where they bought them, and research showed who they were.

The rally was innocuous, whether The Hill believes it or not. At the rally itself - at least a mile from the Capitol - everyone was well-behaved and the president said absolutely nothing to encourage violence.

[christian]

Democrat allies have been abundantly supporting violent organizations, odd that advocation of violence, even burning down cities, doesn't bother them at all.  BLM antifa, etc.  Violent organizations,even foreign Countries that are terrorist are best friends of Americas democrats.  Who invited said terrorists to Jan 6th riot?  By van, our own law enforcement agencies with democrat backing!

You clearly don't understand how fascism works.

[Absalom]

So, the rally was innocuous and there is nothing illegal about planning a rally,
besides Trump said absolutely nothing to encourage violence.
Why of course, as it was simply an exchange of pleasantries between Disciples.

Jan. 6 organizers used burner phones to communicate with Trump family, White House: report

Non-rational persuasion - this is a textbook case of methods our media use to sway public opinion.

"Jan 6 organizers" - There are two events that occurred on Jan 6.  One was the rally at the Ellipse, and the other was the protest at the US Capitol.  With this title, the authors try to label the Trump family as conspirators, culpable for violence and even death.

However, the "burner" phone part of the story only involved the Ellipse rally and had zero to do with the events at the Capitol.  Also, the only deaths that occurred at the Capitol happened at the hands of Capitol Police.

[Hoodat]

So, the rally was innocuous and there is nothing illegal about planning a rally,

Correct.

besides Trump said absolutely nothing to encourage violence.

Correct.

Now let's contrast that with what happened at the Capitol.  Request for National Guard presence denied.  Protestors waived into the Capitol by Capitol Police.  FBI moles inciting violence among the protestors.  The point-blank ambush-style fata shooting of an unarmed protestor by Capitol Police.  And the fatal crushing of another protestor by Capitol Police.

Why of course!
Those defenseless souls were simply out for a placid stroll of the Capital.
Then those FBI/Police meanies turned their backs on them and it makes one wanna cry.
Trumpty Dumpty will get justice for these poor souls any day now!!!

More nonsense.

What does Trump have to do with it?  He was at the Ellipse.

   And FBI setting off smoke bombs to agitate patriots. Starting trouble.  Then ANTIFA/BLM...was bussed in, wearing Trump gear,  to smear TRUMP PATRIOTS.  Those you see climbing walls?  ANTIFA. They caused all the damage.  Patriots tried to stop ANTIFA/BLM...from vandalism.  Black outfits with riot hats?=ANTIFA

Precisely. Where is the effort to identify those people? (no need, the FBI already knows their own).

[sneakypete]

Trump just lives in their heads 24/7,doesn't he?

[christian]

Notice how those that demand Trump is to blame,despite no evidence of such, had no criticism of rioters burning down cities for over a year?  They are still hard at work doing there tear America/Trump down stooge work.  Soros paid stooges?

According to Rolling Stone. That scion of journalism that published the false University of Virginia rape accusations, that just earlier this year had claimed Oklahoma hospitals were overflowing with ivermectin overdoses.

But let's trust THEIR judgment. /sarc
