On Tuesday, Trending Politics<\/a> posted the following headline:<\/p>\n

DOJ Ordered Sweep of Trump\u2019s Twitter Data for Everyone Who \u2018Liked, Followed or Retweeted\u2019 Trump<\/h1>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Attorneys for the Justice Department have revealed documents connected to their search warrant for Donald Trump\u2019s Twitter account, indicating that prosecutors collected a massive collection of data about the former President\u2019s social media activity\u2014including information on every account that liked, followed, or retweeted him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The extensively redacted\u00a0search warrant<\/a>\u00a0was revealed as a result of a judge\u2019s ruling on November 17, which came after a consortium of media organizations filed an application in August for the warrant and other data to be made public.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Indeed, Special Counsel Jack Smith sought, and appears to have gotten, information on all users Trump followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked, as well as all users who followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smith also requested that Twitter provide information on \u201call lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted tweets posted by [Trump], as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account (i.e., \u2018mentions\u2019 or \u2018replies\u2019).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DOJ\u2019s request also wanted information on Trump\u2019s geolocation, private messages, search history, and contact information. More outrageously, prosecutors allegedly wanted to know his pronouns, as reported by Headline USA in August, when court transcripts relating to the Twitter-DOJ battle became available.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The warrant\u2019s release comes after Twitter objected to the search warrant as well as an accompanying gag order, claiming that the gag order violated the company\u2019s First Amendment right to communicate with Trump and that Trump may have legal standing to use executive privilege to block the warrant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

This is chilling: Not only did Jack Smith seek to violate Donald Trump\u2019s reasonable expectation of privacy in search for a crime, he wanted to do it in secret.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, Smith\u2019s team sought to investigate everyone who interacted with Trump\u2019s account on Twitter\/X, as if they were implicated in a criminal racketeering enterprise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Justice Department has now devolved into a weapon for political partisans, rather than being an instrument of law enforcement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington needs to be cleaned out and those who routinely violated the rights and Americans need to be sent to jail.<\/p>\n
