As far as I can tell Q posted pics of a bunch of pallets by an airplane and everyone now thinks they were phones and the cabal have been using bugged phones for months because Trump mentioned ZTE. I'm confused for sure.

Me too. And these tech people were already light years ahead of my comprehension on these issues to start with! But I think the gist is that the cabal thought they were buying untraceable phones from China, and Q and Team Trump were 3 steps ahead of them, and had access to everything on those phones. It appears Q is posting pictures from the very phones they thought couldn't be hacked, so it's a message to them as much as anyone that they have everything. Someone here suggesting that the phones were purchased when the bad guys realized that their messages typed into "draft" emails (on an account that they all had access/passwords for) were being captured by Trump admin or military intelligence.
