There are still investigations being conducted by Democrats into former President Donald Trump and anyone he may or may not have been able to speak with on the phone in January.
Media and Democratic allies have pushed the narrative that there is a 7-hour gap in the White House call logs from January 6, 2021. The January 6 Committee is looking into reports that Trump might have used aides’ phones or burner phones.”
It appears that the long-running narrative about a “mystery gap” in White House call logs for then-President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, has already crumbled.
CNN reports that the record of the Trump White House switchboard calls is in fact “complete,” despite assertions to the contrary. It appears that Trump’s call log reflects his “typical phone habits,” according to a source.
CNN’s report alleged that the technology used to track presidents’ telephone calls is, and has been for decades, “imperfect and antiquated,” but the Trump White House call logs are neither incorrect nor lacking.
“That said, the [January 6th Committee] still wants to know who Trump was talking to and what he was doing and not doing during the attack,” Gangel remarked. “There are other phone logs and records they can check and ask for. This simply speaks to Trump not using the WH switchboard to place calls.”
“The mystery of the seven-hour gap has fueled furious speculation as to why calls are missing. That includes allegations that Trump was using ‘burner phones’ (which he has denied) or that the logs were purposely suppressed. But the gap might have a less mysterious explanation,” CNN reported.
“According to multiple sources familiar with Trump’s phone behavior and the White House switchboard records, the January 6 log reflects Trump’s typical phone habits,” the report stated. “He mainly placed calls through the switchboard when he was in the residence but rarely used it when he was in the Oval Office. The fact the log does not show calls on January 6, 2021, from the Oval Office is not unusual, said the sources, because Trump typically had staff either place calls directly for him on landlines or cell phones. Those calls would not be noted on the switchboard log.”
“The six pages of White House switchboard logs for January 6, 2021, are complete based on an official review of White House records, according to a source familiar with the matter,” CNN continued. “There are no missing pages and the seven-hour gap is likely explained by use of White House landlines, White House cell phones and personal cell phones that do not go through the switchboard.”
Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, is prepared to fight back.
If Republicans win control of Congress in November’s midterm elections, Jordan is also calling for investigations into Democrats.

According to Jordan, the Democrat investigation into the violence at the Capitol Building is simply a “political operation” designed to prevent Trump from being a candidate for president in 2024.
“There’s been subpoenas issued to 11 individuals, 11 American citizens who asked the government permission on an application to hold the Trump rally,” Jordan explained. “The government granted it and now the January 6 committee petitions them to ask them questions about exercising their First Amendment right to assemble.”
“And why would they subpoena me? I didn’t do anything wrong — I talked to the president,” Jordan went on. “I talk to the president all the time. I just think that’s — you know where I’m at on this commission — this is all about going after President Trump. That seems obvious.”
“Everyone in the country sees this as a political operation. This is designed to get after President Trump. Because they don’t want him to run again,” he added.
The Democrats realize that the phony Jan. 6 Committee, created by Nancy Pelosi, will be the first casualty of a Republican-led Congress.
In the article “Garland Faces Growing Pressure as Jan. 6 Investigation Widens” that appeared last week, the outlet continued to promote the narrative that Trump had violated the law and should be prosecuted for the intrusion, and that no one can comprehend Garland’s hesitation.
Here’s what’s really going on.
On Jan. 6, Trump did not violate the law, therefore he can’t be prosecuted. As a result, Garland is hesitating because he knows Democrats are spreading a false narrative and does not wish one day to be held responsible for indicting the former – and possibly future – president of the United States on false allegations.
Reuters reported in August that the FBI had found “scant evidence,” which indicated that the Capitol incursion occurred because Trump supporters planned to overthrow the government.
The report states that the sources “have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on” the FBI’s investigation of what happened on and leading up to January 6th.
Therefore, the only conspiracy that took place on Jan. 6 was one between the FBI, the deep state, and mainstream media. In order to manipulate the American people, these three went to great lengths to create the impression that there was an attempted insurrection.
