If he was using a university issued phone, won't all 39,000 calls be known if someone makes a Freedom of Information Act request? I'll hang up and listen.

Yes. Nutt's attorney just asked for all of them going back to 2012.

Nutt's attorney intially asked for 6 days of phone records. He has since asked for all the calls dating back to 2012.

What was important about those 6 days?

I believe it was a specific 6 days he and or staff were in Tampa recruiting img kids. Looks like the one exactly what they were looking for.

I suspect that was the time period before NSD when the alleged plan to plant stories with the media pointing a finger at Nutt happened.

Out of the loop a bit, but why only 6 days initially? Was a supposed conversation had taken place or what?

Wasn't it the six days that were around the timeframe of when Freeze basically blamed Nutt for the NCAA sanctions?

Initially the request was to identify calls Freeze made to reporters who had stories citing "sources" that said most of the violations were under Nutt's time at Ole Miss. Seems the attorney had reason to believe those reporters had spoken to Hugh in advance of their stories, so he just needed phone records to back that up.
The hooker call was literally just stumbled upon while he was looking for something else, but it will ultimately be what helps Nutt get paid. It shows Freeze was underhanded and had a pattern of lying and self-preservation at all costs. OM saving some money by not having to pay Hugh will be all the more easy to pay Nutt.

Nutt is paying his lawyers to ask these questions. These people are pros at this kind of investigation. If there is any dirt to be found they will find it.

I think this is correct. It was apparently sheer stupidity on Freeze's part (he was allowed to redact "personal" phone calls from the FOIA response, but missed this one) rather than ninja investigative skills. Nutt's lawyer was looking for phone calls to reporters where Freeze tried to push the blame for the NCAA violations off on Nutt, and just happened to find this nugget.
