Biden DOJ Collects List of Every Person Who Followed, Retweeted or Mentioned Donald Trump on Twitter

Court documents released Monday by the Justice Department show that special counsel Jack Smith successfully obtained access to everyone who liked, retweeted or mentioned Donald Trump on Twitter, now known as X. The search warrant, issued in January by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is part of Smith's investigation into Trump's actions leading up to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.

The release of the documents came as a result of a lawsuit brought by a consortium of media organizations seeking to bring sunlight to the special counsel's probe into Trump, the New York Post reported.

Conservative podcaster and attorney Eric Matheny responded to the warrant's release highlighting, "If you liked or retweeted Trump's tweets - the DOJ wants to know. Special Counsel Jack Smith's search warrant for Trump's Twitter account specifically seeks lists of Twitter users who engaged with Trump's account." "This government is out of control!" he added.

The Post reported that Twitter initially balked at handing over the data, saying it was a violation of Twitter users' First Amendment rights and the Stored Communications Act.

The federal judge overseeing the case sided with Smith and leveled a $350,000 fine against Twitter for contempt of court.

"For what appears to be the first time in its history, Twitter Inc. has filed a motion to vacate or modify an order that it not disclose the existence of a search warrant," Smith argued, insisting that "There is reason to believe notification to the former president, a sophisticated actor with an expansive platform, would result in a statutorily cognizable harm." "The 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," the special counsel wrote in the heavily redacted filing.

In August, Smith filed a four-count indictment against Trump related to the 2021 Capitol incursion and his alleged 2020 election interference.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
