My question includes any possible personal contact either by phone, text, email or letter. Myself, suspecting what a mob bossy DJT's life he's had while constantly surrounded by lawyers who taught him how to 'not get caught' by not doing this or that - it's my opinion that he'd not use text, email or any letter writing that might possibly turn up as embarrassing evidence someday. So, I think that there's at least a possibility that he's had a few phone chats with Putin - nothing in the likes of constant phone chats with Hannity but at least a couple long distance chats that has kept them somewhat close. imo I understand that I could be wrong about this, but I feel more strongly than not that the two have remained in contact.
Beyond astonishing and incredible, but who really knows, right?
I'm sure that Pelosi blew at least $200 Million on having mobile phone engineers testify that absolutely Trump and Putin were definitely talking about and planning the surrender of the USA to Russia. delusional, idiotic and asinine Pelosi is at it again.
Trump, like many other American citizens, stayed off the grid for the most part on purpose. I too have no desire to broadcast every part of my data to whoever the hell would want to read about it to begin with. After all, it is no big secret that the largest IT corps like Google, Facebook, Twitter, image hosts, etc... -- specifically those with unlimited cloud backups are left-wing radicals.
There is no way in hell that Putin and Trump spoke via phone as it is beyond highly likely that the NSA would have ID'd both voices (vox recognition) and made the connection for all calls between the two of them.
Since the Patriot Act was passed following the 9/11 tragedies, one provision (The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA)) got one hell of an upgrade, allowing for the mass-collection of Bell Telephone data (now either AT&T or Verizon, I believe. CBS 60- Minutes (USA) did a piece on it years ago and showed a gigantic metal-type pipe emerging from the Pacific Ocean containing literally millions of wires (likely fiber optic, I would think); it went into a typical non-descript Bell Telephone building where a splicer-type device split the cable into two identical 'lines', one of which went back into the ocean and the other went deeper into the Bell building where every bit of data was copied and the announcer said ~ultimately ends up at the NSA.
This is illegal for intra-US communications, but not for data that was once again leaving the US. Regardless, you had young men and women explaining how a word or phrase triggered the system, causing that call, text, email, to be flagged for future follow-up.
So, 60-minutes concluded that every communication, whether involving a 'protected' US citizen or not was backed-up somewhere for future scrutiny. My calls must bore them to death.
But here we go again - granted the Republicans started this one after 9/11, and it had an expiration date on it, another American civil liberty had temporarily been taken from us with high-ranking officials like Obama informing the American people that it would only be temporary, while Obama was in the shadows making damn sure that the renewal documents were signed by the AG in time, once even having to rush to the hospital to get the AG's signature. The dems love the fact that they can keep an initial well-meaning, temporary item going and instead, figure out ways to keep it going into perpetuity - and funded. DISGRACEFUL!!
So, if your quote is true -

. . .given all of the leaks in Trump's WH, I think we would have heard something about Trump-Putin phone calls. Don't you? It seemed every Trump call was leaked and now with Biden - not a single peep - even after Biden spoke with Putin the other day likely to [TRY] and cut off Putin's pipeline deal. Biden is still ordering 500,000 barrels of Russian oil per day, but will not allow oil and gas drillers on our own federal land that they have paid for leases on - are allowed to drill at all. Mas a ton of sense to me as our gas prices will blow through the $5/gallon pump price probably next week. But with millions that the Biden Crime Family is making off of foreign countries - who the hell cares anymore? Biden did tell us "IT WILL COST YOU NOTHING" - Remember that ?
Just my opinion.
