Back in August, DOJ special counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for what the AP reported was "records related to former President Donald Trump's Twitter account":
Special counsel Jack Smith’s team obtained a search warrant in January for records related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account, and a judge levied a $350,000 fine on the company for missing the deadline to comply, according to court documents released Wednesday.
The new details were included in a ruling from the federal appeals court in Washington over a legal battle surrounding the warrant that has played out under seal for months. The court rejected Twitter’s claim that it should not have been held in contempt or sanctioned.
Smith’s team repeatedly mentioned Trump’s tweets in an indictment unsealed last week that charges the former president with conspiring to subvert the will of voters and cling to power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.
More is now known about the warrant, and you might not be shocked to know this was about more than just Trump:

These people are completely out of control:
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ The DOJ collected data on every person who liked/retweeted realDonaldTrump.
The War On Terror now means YOU.
Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) ~ 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.
It's almost like they've been developing some sort of a large list, all while claiming Trump's the dangerous potential authoritarian.
They believe Trump is a potential authoritarian, while they are acting as undeniable totalitarians.
john jackson (@pvtjokerus) ~ Everyone who ever liked or RTd one of Trump's tweets ... the FBI wanted your name.
Democrats are Fascists and the FBI is their Gestapo.
Unreal.
Mollie (@MZHemingway) ~ 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.
It's frightening how many people are fine with this who can't grasp the slippery slope they're on.
Benjamin Weingarten (@bhweingarten) ~ It’s about Trump, but ultimately it’s also about the millions of Americans who would dare to dissent from their would-be masters.
Jeremy Carl (@jeremycarl4) ~ A political “enemies list” with millions of Americans on it.
But TRUMP is the dictatorial threat to "democracy"? You can't make this stuff up.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
