The ridiculously overbroad warrant and demand for information, was initially fought by Twitter; however, it appears the courts ultimately demanded compliance and Twitter acquiesced. That is a stunning amount of information included in the search warrant.
(New York Post) – Special counsel Jack Smith’s comprehensive search warrant for information related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account sought the 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner’s search history, drafted tweets, blocks and mutes.
The special counsel also demanded a list of all devices used to log into the account and information on users interacting with Trump, heavily redacted court filings show.
The search warrant, issued in January against the company now known as X, was among several documents released by the Justice Department Monday as part of a lawsuit brought by media organizations seeking sunlight on the special counsel’s investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.
The filings shed some light on what investigators were looking for when they issued the warrant against the social media company owned by Elon Musk. (read more)
While the release of the warrant is initially surprising, it should not come as a great surprise to know the Biden government wants to generate a list of what they would consider subversives to the interests of the state.
Previously, the Obama/Biden administration, through the DOJ, used the IRS to assemble a list of people and entities against their interests. Once that revelation came to light, as a result of a whistleblower, the Obama/Biden administration then began a process of using the NSA database to monitor political opposition. Ultimately, that led to the targeting of candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and the later targeting of President Trump after his inauguration.
The Jack Smith effort is simply a continuation of a very dystopian DOJ effort.
