Federal Prosecutors Gain Access To ‘Extraordinary Array Of Data’ From Twitter On Trump’s Account | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Special counsel Jack Smith has reportedly gained access to an "extraordinary array of data" from Twitter about former President Donald Trump's personal account on the platform, according to newly unsealed court records.

    The fight to gain access to the account happened in January and February before Twitter was renamed "X" and was met with stiff resistance by owner and then-CEO Elon Musk.

    U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell fined the company $350,000 for taking too long to comply with the search warrant and criticized the company for taking "extraordinary" steps not to turn over the data and to allegedly warn Trump about the search warrant.

    The judge suggested that Musk was perhaps trying to "cozy up" to Trump to get him to use the site again, which Twitter's lawyers rejected.

    POLITICO reported that Twitter was ordered to turn over the following information to prosecutors:

• Accounts associated with @realdonaldtrump that the former president might have used on the same device.
• Devices used to log into the @realdonaldtrump account
• IP addresses used to log into the account between October 2020 and January 2021.
• Privacy settings and history
• All tweets "created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted" by @realdonaldtrump, including any subsequently deleted.
• All direct messages "sent from, received by, stored in draft form in, or otherwise associated with" @realdonaldtrump
• All records of searches from October 2020 to January 2021
• Location information for the user of @realdonaldtrump from October 2020 to January 2021

    Trump responded to the news last week that Smith had obtained a search warrant to search his account by claiming it was an attack by the Biden administration.

    "Just found out that Crooked Joe Biden's DOJ secretly attacked my Twitter account, making it a point not to let me know about this major 'hit' on my civil rights," Trump wrote on social media. "My Political Opponent is going CRAZY trying to infringe on my Campaign for President. Nothing like this has ever happened before."

    "Does the First Amendment still exist?" he continued. "Did Deranged Jack Smith tell the Unselects to DESTROY & DELETE all evidence? These are DARK DAYS IN AMERICA!"

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Considering the renewed and unequalled dishonesty in elected politicians, at all levels of governing, and their associative nefarious bureaucrats doing their corrupt bidding: What is your opinion of YOUR government, and what do you intend to do about it?

  Today's overall government is just fine, and I will continue to vote for politicians that make promises to suit my individual needs.

  Today's overall government is poor, but I will continue to endeavor to learn what is true from the the most honest of media, and pick those representatives that best represent what is good and decent.

  I spend quite a bit of time on Eastern NC NOW; so ... I am having a far easier time separating the proverbial "wheat from the chaff" in finding honorable citizens to support.
