I have had plenty of private phone numbers. I wasn’t having an affair with any of their owners.
All of us do, but not the private numbers of presidential candidates.
I currently have the private phone numbers of several elected officials in my county and municipal government. I have them because I have worked closely with these people on a number of issues. I speak with these people often and at all hours of day and night. While these calls have all been purely business I could see how with my help the leftist media could be led to believe otherwise.
