Special Counsel Smith wanted information on all Trump supporters

Good day all. The political trial of the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, has just taken an interesting turn. Information has come out that Jack Smith wanted information on anyone who retweeted President Trump.

Thanks to the Twitter Files, we know just how in the tank the previous management was with the Democrats and their Secret Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Under Garland, the “Get Trump!” policies went into overdrive, leading to the current railroad job currently underway.

We know that Smith and his gang of thugs wanted all of President Trump’s tweets, drafts and discarded tweets to prove that he did something. (What is the question) The information that Smith and his gang also wanted information on anyone who retweeted or favorited President Trump is worrying. Here are the details from the Federalist:

Special Counsel Jack Smith hunted information on X users who liked or retweeted posts published by former President Donald Trump, according to redacted search warrants and other documents released Monday.

According to the heavily redacted document issued to then-Twitter in January, the court ordered the social media giant to forfeit a bevy of information regarding Trump’s account, including “advertising information, including advertising IDs, ad activity, and ad topic preferences,” as well as IP addresses “used to create, login, and use the account” and privacy and account settings.

I’m not a legal expert by any stretch of the imagination, but this seems like a fishing expedition to me. Then we get to the really worrying part.

The warrant also demanded information such as Trump’s search history, direct messages, and “content of all tweets created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted” by his account from October 2020 to January 2021.

That demand would cover the tweets of tens of millions of people. I believe that President Trump, before the Fascist anti-free speech prior management booted him from the platform had well over 10 million followers including yours truly. (I still follow him on Truth Social) I can’t see any reason for this request other then to use it as a means of intimidation.

Though the warrant was first covered in August, it was again released as part of a court order after numerous media organizations filed to obtain the document to shed light on the Smith-led special counsel’s “investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol,” according to the New York Post. Smith previously indicted Trump in August on several bogus charges related to the former president’s challenging of the 2020 election results in the lead-up to Jan. 6, 2021.

But it wasn’t just Trump’s Twitter account that Smith and his cronies were targeting. The special counsel’s warrant also sought data on Twitter users who interacted with the former president’s account. Among the information Smith sought was a list of every user Trump “followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked” during the aforementioned timeframe. Smith similarly demanded that Twitter, which has since rebranded as X, fork over a list of users who took any of the same actions with Trump’s account.

That warrant request should have been denied. That seems to be overly broad and I can’t see any reason for it. I have a suspicion he plans, or planned to go after people who supported President Trump and may have been in Washington on January 6th. Never mind that they never went near the Capitol building.

According to the Post, Smith’s warrant was issued to then-Twitter “along with a nondisclosure order, instructing the company not to notify Trump about the search.” Twitter initially bucked Smith’s demand, arguing that to forfeit such information to the government constituted a violation of the First Amendment. The social media giant ultimately complied with the warrant but was fined $350,000 for failing to meet the special counsel’s demands by deadline.

First, it looks like Elon Musk fought back against this warrant. Second, due to the delays in getting the information, probably due to Smith’s utter incompetence in how things of a technical nature actually work, was fined. That Twitter(X) was also ordered to say nothing to President Trump or his legal team seems rather fishy.

In the heavily redacted court filing opposing Twitter’s legal attempts to notify Trump of the search, Smith baselessly claimed that telling the former president about the unprecedented seizure “would result in a statutorily cognizable harm,” as Trump is “a sophisticated actor with an expansive platform.”

The [Non-Disclosure Order] was granted based on facts showing that notifying the former president would result in destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, or other serious jeopardy to an investigation or delaying of trial,” said the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Nearly every other word listed under “The Non-Disclosure Order” section of the filing is redacted.

And that was a flat out load of crap. The only people who seem to have been busy shredding evidence are the Democrats with regards to the J6 Commission “Investigation.” This was just another one of Smith’s power trips.

Smith’s seizure of Trump’s personal social media information and those who engaged with the then-president’s posts isn’t all that surprising given the special counsel’s weaponization of the government against Trump thus far.

The level of corruption of the Biden/Garland InJustice Department has surpassed that of Obama and Eric Holder, and Holder’s successor, Loretta “We just talked about grand kids” Lynch. We are no approaching, if not in the area of a police state similar to what you see in Third World countries.

In addition to indicting Trump, Smith filed a motion in September to institute a gag order on the 45th president, effectively stifling his First Amendment right to criticize the very government attempting to silence him. That gag order was ultimately approved by D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a left-wing Obama appointee with a track record of highly partisan court rulings.

Chutkan has proven herself, unsurprisingly, to be unfit to to be on the bench. She has a long record of accusing President Trump of inciting an insurrection, (Which he didn’t), and going over and above standards when sentencing people who basically wandered around the grounds or capitol building and did nothing else. She has no problem suppressing President Trump’s, or anyone else’s 1st Amendment rights.

Trump’s legal team has since appealed the order to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and has threatened to take the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court given the “unconstitutional” nature of the mandate.

Like that bozo in New York, she has already decided that she will do whatever it takes to “Get Trump!” This is nothing more than a political trial to protect the Deep State, Democrats and those Uniparty RINO’s and TransRepublicans who will face the Wrath of Trump, (In a lawful and constitutional manner, unlike Biden and Garland), if and when he is reelected in 2024.

As for all the people who were hoovered up by Smith’s fishing expedition? I don’t know what legal recourse there is, but I can see a major class action civil case being filed by a group of angry lawyers. (You know that a few lawyers were also swept up in that data demand) Again, I have no training as a lawyer, and I don’t have a clue if we the victims of Jack Smith’s witch hunt have grounds to take action. I hope we all do.

Musk should have complied with the warrant. Printed each and every tweet, retweet and counter tweet on its own sheet of A4 sized paper and demanded that he be allowed to hand them over in a courtroom setting, because he has a reasonable expectation that the DOJ will claim he didn’t comply. It would have been a real life restaging of the famous mail delivery scene from “Miracle on 34th Street.” It would be awesome!
