    No wonder “America’s Mayor” and other Trumpy cultists are in panic mode.

    What goodies, other than possibly Ginger Mints has Jack and Co obtained?

    “Beryl Howell Scoffs That We Think We Know Anything about the Trump Investigations”

    “We’ve spent the last two weeks entranced by a single warrant, making grand conclusions about what Xitter — which also knew nothing — was emphasizing to win a legal battle.

    We know of perhaps ten other warrants, if Jack Smith is sharing the warrants for Trump’s co-conspirators and close aides (though he doesn’t have a Fourth Amendment interest in any of those warrants).
    1. Rudy’s devices (likely a warrant served on the FBI in NY)
    2. Ken Klukowski’s Google account
    3. Jeffrey Clark’s Outlook account
    4. Jeffrey Clark’s Google account
    5. Jeffrey Clark’s phone
    6. The fourth account from an as-yet unidentified non-lawyer
    7. John Eastman’s Chapman University emails
    8. John Eastman’s phone
    9. Boris Epshteyn’s phone
    10. Mike Roman’s phone
    We know of subpoenas targeting Sidney Powell. We know nothing — literally nothing — about the investigation targeting Ken Cheseboro, one of Trump’s unindicted co-conspirators (except that investigators would have been very interested to learn why he was tailing Alex Jones during the attack on the Capitol, filming him on his phone).

    We know of subpoenas obtaining information from NARA. We know of other phones that were seized — like Scott Perry’s and some of the key fake electors and Owen Shroyer — but those present sensitivities that make it less likely they would get shared with Trump, that they would be among the 40 warrants he knows about but we don’t.

    We can assume that DOJ obtained warrants for every little last shred of cloud content available from Trump and his co-conspirators, long before they would have started seizing phones.

    We can be sure that Trump’s Xitter file would be the last to be seized, not the first. The filings themselves cite how Trump and his associates use Xitter, which DOJ would have learned by seizing those associates’ Xitter accounts first.

    Donald Trump is looking at forty warrants and we only know of one with his name on it, and even there we have no idea what DOJ was really after.

    I’d say that Beryl Howell was right to scoff at Xitter’s lawyers, at us, for our confident statements about the investigation.”
