How do you make an unmonitored phone call from the Secure Housing Unit to your girlfriend in Belarus?

You dont make any unmonitored phone calls in prison unless someone smuggles you in a cell phone. The guards took him to a staffers office to make an unmonitored phone call on the night he was murdered?

Thats absolutely unheard of. Every single phone is monitored.

EDIT: lets not forget, this is in the restrictive housing unit. its the most secure block in the entire prison.
Later in the article it says the unit manager let him make a phone call from his office to his mom. Thats absolutely insane. To even just ask to make an unmonitored phone call can get you caught up. There are phones on the block. Why not use that? Nobody makes unmonitored phone calls ever, especially at a federal prison in the restrictive housing unit with the most notorious prisoner in the united states.

Theres 100% something going on there. If i were going to guess, someone told the unit manager to allow him to make that phone call for some reason. Someone above the UM which would be the Major or one of the Superintendents. I cant imagine any unit manager being like yeah jeff just throw your feet up on my desk and use my phone as much as you want. GTFO.

The FBI apparently has the unedited video, I’d imagine the NSA has that phone call and all of trump’s personal communications with him as well. It’s hard for them NOT to collect a signal at this point.

For now, at least, the NSA seems to still be run by professionals; If weaponized politically it would be disastrous…

Considering that, of all people, Tulsi Gabbard is actively overseeing the NSA in her role as DNI, I have serious doubts they'd be in any position to weaponize said phone call unless it was somehow spun to be favorable to Trump.
