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).
Rudy’s devices (likely a warrant served on the FBI in NY)
Ken Klukowski’s Google account
Jeffrey Clark’s Outlook account
Jeffrey Clark’s Google account
Jeffrey Clark’s phone
The fourth account from an as-yet unidentified non-lawyer
John Eastman’s Chapman University emails
John Eastman’s phone
Boris Epshteyn’s phone
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.”

LOL @jambo12 and other Trump worshippers are in denial of the facts and evidence that are in the public domain so no doubt they will be oblivious to the facts and evidence that Jack Smith has obtained and not made public.

The facts and evidence that are in the public domain are pretty damning for Trump on it's own but we don't know exactly who are the witness, who is co-operating, who has made a plea deal, what was found on devices that have been seized ect ect

We probably will not know until the trials but Trump's defence lawyers will get that information during discovery and when they do reality will hit home. Dare say that Trump lawyers will either be quitting or being fired before the start of the trials because they will find it difficult to come up with a viable defence and Trump will not be happy with the advice they give him
