Robert Mueller exploited cellphone GPS to track Trump associates
WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | 6/8/2019 | rowan scarborough

Robert Mueller says he was able to pinpoint security company executive Erik Prince’s precise location for several hours in January 2017 by matching his mobile phone signal to a cell site near Trump Tower in New York City.

The special counsel’s report discloses the use of this investigative technique, by which police determine a suspect’s location via a cellphone’s GPS signal.

The Prince narrative is one instance in unredacted sections of the report in which Mr. Mueller’s team explicitly discloses cellphone tracking. It raises the question of whether the FBI applied the process to other investigative subjects — a phone’s GPS signal can disclose its exact location within a few feet. One of the first requests the FBI makes when confronting subjects is to ask for their electronic devices.

The fact Mr. Mueller could pinpoint Mr. Prince’s exact whereabouts suggest he used GPS readouts, which prosecutors can subpoena from cellular service providers.

There was a clip on this week’s Gutfeld of PC Bond throwing a milkshake at a one-eyed Bond villain. It seriously p!sses him off, and he pushes the button while PC Bond shouts “NO, WAIT!” and he blows up a major building, killing everyone in it. I couldn’t find that.

Didn’t Joffe’s Georgia tech buddies claim russian phones were detected in the vicinity of Trump Tower?

They never should have appointed Mueller. That I can now say with certainty after seeing his work product.
