Back in August, Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for former President Donald Trump's X/Twitter account despite pushback from the social media giant.
The initial resistance prompted a federal judge to hold the company in contempt and issue a $350,000 fine.
Eventually, the social media company now known as X complied (after the court-ordered deadline) but was prohibited from telling Trump about it.
An unsealed indictment revealed that Smith's team cited Trump's tweets while outlining his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
But that's not at, as Twitchy reports:
More is now known about the warrant, and you might not be shocked to know this was about more than just Trump:
The DOJ has released the redacted search warrant for Donald Trump's Twitter account.

These people are completely out of control:
This is the most ridiculously overbroad warrant I've ever seen. What remotely legitimate purpose could be achieved by Twitter having to compile data files comprising millions of people who liked something Trump posted? But of course Beryl Howell signed off on this travesty. https://t.co/GLiE98dHfy pic.twitter.com/AdfC322wlA

Unreal:
As part of his war on Trump, Jack Smith collected info on any American who retweeted or favorited Trump tweets. This is such a dystopic nightmare, as is the way it's calmly accepted by so much of the country. https://t.co/p46htXJzNk
