There are no White House call records from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on Jan. 6, at least according to records turned over to the Jan. 6 Committee by the National Archives. The Washington Post and CBS News first reported the mammoth gap, which raises all sorts of questions about where the missing logs are, and why they’re MIA in the first place.

Even the slowest soul is going to understand this one - the Nixon tapes are American history 101.
Burner phones would be worse in deed, but the specificity of the timeline says there is something to see here.
It’s not that it’s missing, it’s that someone knew how missing it had to be.
Rose Mary Woods Lives!
Or just bad cell phone reception?
One good thing about the missing calls is that there must be a lot of people who knew about them. Not that they knew the precise content of the calls but that they were aware that calls were made and who was on the calls.
Because the calls weren’t entirely secret investigators should be able to question many people around tfg during the ‘gap’ in the records and people around the other party to the call. We know at least some of the calls involved repubs in the capitol building during the attack.
Question every damned one of them and make them squirm on record. Probably get a lot of memory failure from those in the know, but at least shame them on the record.
The press has to decide that this is juicy enough to go with because that’s all they care about. Is it an eyeball grabber enough to push Ukraine to the side a bit? Will Ali Velshi come back to America and stand in front of Mar a Lago? Will Kaitlan Collins put on a bigger smirk-smile? Time will tell.
I think (hope…) this could be big, but we have to be careful about one thing. Given his nature, Mr. Trump would habitually lie and act deceptively even when he had no rational reason to do so. There might not be any bombshells in those missing hours: just Mr. Trump’s hard-wired tendency to hide all of his actions.
