Special counsel obtained search warrant for Donald Trump’s Twitter account
CNN ^ | August 9, 2023 | Tierney Sneed and Katelyn Polantz

The special counsel investigation into Donald Trump secured a search warrant of the former president’s Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, according to a newly unsealed court filing.

The search was so secret that Twitter was barred from telling Trump the search warrant had been obtained for his account, and Twitter was fined $350,000 because it delayed producing the records sought under the search warrant.

Twitter and special counsel Jack Smith’s office spent several months litigating the question of whether Trump should be told about the search warrant.

What, their army of bots just couldn’t scroll through his tweets?
Are they looking for a coded call to organize insurrection?

Everything Trump ever tweeted was widely available for everyone to see..but since we live in a banana republic here we are, they will stop at nothing to get this man, even going after his social media posts..EVERYTHING in order to protect the Biden crime syndicate

...and not a word about the Biden crime family in the news. This is on the verge of an all out war.

That's funny. The feds employ thousands of social media assets to provide that information to the DOJ on an hourly basis. There are whole mainframes following Trump social media content, and probably the content right here on FR.

My guess is that subpoena was requested to cover up all the content they already obtained without legal process.

They did something illegal and need to fix that before discovery.

$100 Million from World despots versus Mean Tweets.

Wow

The whole Op is deflect from Joe’s Crimes of 14 years - and the Cover up.

They justify this by saying trust in the agencies will collapse if they allow the truth to come out.

Lindsey Graham calls it - tearing America apart. If the the truth is known…

“Are they looking for a coded call to organize insurrection?”

They call them “dog whistles”.

For example, the tweeted phrase “Merry Christmas” is a dog whistle to his white supremacist supporters to go lynch black people.

This tweet was a dog whistle for “storm the capitol, stop the electoral count, and overthrow the government by force at once.”

“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

I’m sure they’ve rummaged through his email accounts, his facebook account, and all the other social media accounts he may have, including Truth Social. It wouldn’t come as any surprise if they haven’t bugged all of his residences, phones, cars, and airplanes, and those of all of his children as well. They are that hell-bent on finding ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they can no matter how small.

I hear Smith has obtained a warrant for all material Trump has placed on roadside billboards dating back to 2015.

Joe and the FBi knew it was censored only due to FBi embeds.


I can post Judges condemning Get Trump Russian Op Defendants being admonished at sentencing - for the Public being misled and the importance of a Gov reps not misleading the Public.

And they went after Santos for misleading Voters.

Could someone get in trouble if they had evidence of crooked deals on their laptop?
How about picture of the laptop owner with underage girls?
