Phone call for you Michael....

From the latest news on the Trump Goon Squad, it seems that Michael Cohen's cell phone was pinging cell towers in Prague in 2016 - when he claimed he wasn't there meeting with people he claims he didn't meet with.

Earlier in the year, the FBI collected up to 16 cell phones from Cohen when they raided his home and office. So... I wonder which one of those 16 phones was the one in Prague?

Now, I understand people hoarding old tech (me of the dozen computers. Hey! Only half of them work) but I'll raise the possibility that some of them were 'burner' phones: meant to be used a few times then tossed. You can get cheap phones with temporary plans. Pay cash and they're a lot harder to trace especially if you destroy them. Then, any calls you make are more secret and secure.

It might be telling if we knew *which* phones pinged the cell towers in Prague. *That's* what I want to know. If it was a relatively cheap phone it might have been a burner that he never got rid of. If it was a more expensive model then he's way more careless than anyone had thought.

Unless he likes to buy expensive phones and hold on to them even if they're supposed to be temporary use only.

The stupid - it burns.
