President Trump once famously said that it wasn’t really him the deep state was after; the deep state is after you and me—the former President was simply standing in their way.
The Department of Justice recently released some heavily redacted documents related to the search warrant Special Counsel Jack Smith exacted during his search of President Trump’s Twitter account.
Eight out of the 14 pages released by the Department of Justice are redacted, but I have provided much of what remains in the article below.
Jack Smith and the DOJ didn’t just go after President Trump’s Twitter and all digital records pertaining to his Twitter; they also went after pretty much everyone interacting with his Twitter account. That means you and me!
You could have done something as simple as liked his post—just following the man was also apparently grounds for further examination by the DOJ. Independent reporter Chuck Callesto had the scoop:

Attorney Eric Matheny likewise remarked: “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!”
