Prosecutors working for Jack Smith, the special counsel who has twice brought indictments against former President Donald J. Trump, obtained a search warrant early this year for Mr. Trump’s long-dormant Twitter account as part of their inquiry into his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, according to court papers unsealed on Wednesday.

The warrant, which was signed by a federal judge in Washington in January after Elon Musk took over Twitter, which is now called X, is the first known example of prosecutors directly searching Mr. Trump’s communications and adds a new dimension to the scope of the special counsel’s efforts to investigate the former president.

"As part of their sprawling investigation, prosecutors have seized cellphones and other electronic devices from some of Mr. Trump’s close aides and lawyers. Those include at least two people identified as the former president’s co-conspirators in the indictment against him filed this month: John Eastman, a lawyer who advised Mr. Trump on a plan to pressure his vice president, Mike Pence, into throwing the election his way at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, and Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department loyalist who Mr. Trump sought to install as acting attorney general.

It seems like a lot of work to go through just to have trump walk scot free in the end but hatred is a powerful motivator.
 
Twitter was fined $350,000 for failing to turn over Trump’s data

The social media company Twitter was forced to hand over records from former president Donald Trump’s account to the special counsel investigating the events leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and pay sanctions for failing to do so more quickly, as disclosed in an appellate court ruling unsealed Wednesday.

A lower-court judge, Beryl A. Howell, ruled in March that Twitter, now renamed X, had to comply with a sealed search warrant issued by the special counsel and pay $350,000 for missing a court-ordered deadline by three days. The filing also reveals that Howell had found reason to believe that should the search warrant be made public, Trump might engage in obstructive conduct or flee prosecution.

Moronic. All twitter posts are public. There's nothing to hide.

What this indicates is Jack Smiths desperation to find anything to fit his laughably weak attempt to criminalize free speech.

Illegal. You cannot force or take devices away from lawyers. It's client privilege. There are no co-conspirators. There was no conspiracy. These claims are lunacy on steroids.

I have always said, if you are getting your news from places like the Washington Post, the New York Times, MSNBC, CNN or this Government, you're being gaslighted and treated like a moron.
 
My dear, if you even had a fucking clue, you would know that the twitter account information is for a period back in 2020 and 2021.

Moron: if you had a brain, you would know that all twitter posts are a public record. They are not deleted. They are not hidden. There is no there, there. Unless you are a gullible dumbass and think that a clown like Jack Smith has a case.
