“So are we to believe it’s COINCIDENTAL? All of a sudden, a 60(ish)-year-old woman decides to use a HAM radio the month after contracting with Christopher Steele for a Russian opposition research dossier on Donald Trump? “

Who says the code has to be obvious? All it needs to be is a boring conversation about yoga pants.
