Who is praying on the wall?
According to the heavily redacted document issued to then-Twitter in January, the court ordered the social media giant to forfeit a bevy of information regarding Trump’s account …
The warrant also demanded information such as Trump’s search history, direct messages, and “content of all tweets created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted” by his account from October 2020 to January 2021.
Though the warrant was first covered in August, it was again released as part of a court order after numerous media organizations filed to obtain the document to shed light on the Smith-led special counsel’s “investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol,” according to the New York Post. ….

Normally in a public corruption investigation these types of records are obtained by Grand Jury Subpoena (along with bank records, phone records and other written records). If subpoened the contents cannot be shared because of Rule 6e which limits disclosure to the investigative team. Violation of rule 6e carries criminal consequences. The results of a search warrant are not protected. This could be an effort to identify those people who should be audited by the IRS.
