The special counsel investigation into Donald Trump secured a search warrant of the former president’s Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, according to a newly unsealed court filing.

    I just listened to the Darknet Diaries episodes (86/87/88) about the guy who “hacked” Trump’s Twitter, actually he was a white hat who figured out that Trump’s password in 2016 was “yourefired” because he used the same password on LinkedIn which got hacked.

    And then he tried again in 2020 and Trump did not have 2-factor authentication on even though Twitter was trying to push it for political accounts, and his password was “MAGA2020!” which was near identical to the password for wifi at Trump rallies.

    It was so easy that I basically guarantee other countries (and probably our own also) got in and read the messages, which brings up the intriguing possibility that they’re not looking for what he has retained in there, but what he deleted. Deleting incriminating evidence is essentially admitting guilt, not to mention obviously obstruction of justice.

      Even if they could get in with little effort for them to be able to use the evidence in court it would have to be legally obtained. This isn’t intelligence gathering on a foreign adversary. Trump and his lawyers are going to try every maneuver in the book to get him out of seeing any consequences for his actions, the FBI need to do everything with this case by the book or risk everything getting thrown out on technicalities.

    Jack Smith might want to check the Wayback Machine to make sure nothing’s missing…

    If you’ve seen any footage of his nazi rally in Windham, NH, you’d notice that the fat pig was sweating like Elvis on stage in '77.

    All while in air conditioning.

    That heat you feel, you miserable vomitous mass, is the measured gaze of Jack Smith slowly closing the noose around your ankles to drag you to prison.

      What was our idea with Donald Trump?

      For four years and two days … it was necessary to get to everyone in the brain and grab all possible means of mass perception of reality. Ensure the victory of Donald in the election of the US President. Then create a political alliance between the United States, France, Russia (and a number of other states) and establish a new world order.

      And there it is, proof that they not only want to install Trunp as president but also that they want to start the “New World Order” that they’ve had right wing and Nazi conspiracy theorists scapegoating onto the Jews and “liberals”.

      It’s so clear and obvious that this is what the global right wing is working towards because the messaging is almost exactly the same from right wing/conservative group and from country to country, and from right wing/Nazi/conservative pundits and influencers all across the world. The Global Right Wing want to take control of the world for their purposes, which should scare us all.

    Looking for logs to prove that Trump himself tweeted those things? 🤔

      DMs to the leaders of the 3%ers, Proud Boys, and other chuds who attempted to kill government officials I’d wager.

        Bingo! Footage from the Jan 6th riot clearly showed the idiots communicating via twitter. Can’t wait to see what the DMs disclose. The authorities already the phones of some of the recipients of those messages - whatever they found clearly gave Smith and the justice department justification to get Trump’s account records.

    It’s not surprising his password had been yourefired. Its surprising he used the correct “you’re”. Although i guess technically it would have been more secure to include the special character. Haha
