it took me awhile to find the actual unsealed records since this article and many others didn’t link to it
Here they are for anyone interested:
Thank you! I absolutely hate how news agencies just don’t give sources. I guess they can’t lie to you if you can easily see the truth.
Jack Smith and team seem to be leaving no stone unturned. It will be so gratifying when something comes out of this.
DMs showing coordination on Jan 6?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The US special counsel investigating Donald Trump obtained a secret search warrant for the ex-president’s Twitter data in January, unsealed records show.
According to the unsealed ruling, which still includes some redactions, Twitter’s lawyers did not object to the warrant itself, but disputed the nondisclosure order which kept it secret.
The company, now known as X under the ownership of Elon Musk, argued that it should be allowed to notify customers whose accounts are subject to search warrants.
The US congressional panel investigating the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot found that Mr Trump had drafted - but never sent - a tweet urging his supporters to come to Washington.
Mr Trump responded to news of the search warrant on Truth Social, writing that it was a "major ‘hit’ on my civil rights…
He has been charged in the two investigations led by Mr Smith, one surrounding events following the 2020 election and the other relating to the handling of classified documents.

Imagine being the person who has to read through that drek.
“Oh no, this is a warrant for his Twitter account, but Twitter isn’t around anymore, and you don’t have a warrant for his X account”
Literally the same thought I had.
The search warrant was issued in January and the data was handed over in February. No X in sight there.
Hopefully they managed to get in there before Trump and his cronies deleted a bunch of DMs that could be used as evidence. I don’t trust Elon musk not to tell Trump that the FBI are seeking access.
I’ve seen in other articles that Twitter was forbidden from telling trump and they actually got fined because they were late trying providing the info because they wanted to notify trump.
Give him up, Dutchie.
