I just listened to the Darknet Diaries episodes (86/87/88) about the guy who "hacked" Trump's Twitter, actually he was a white hat who figured out that Trump's password in 2016 was "yourefired" because he used the same password on LinkedIn which got hacked.
And then he tried again in 2020 and Trump did not have 2-factor authentication on even though Twitter was trying to push it for political accounts, and his password was "MAGA2020!" which was near identical to the password for wifi at Trump rallies.
It was so easy that I basically guarantee other countries (and probably our own also) got in and read the messages, which brings up the intriguing possibility that they're not looking for what he has retained in there, but what he deleted. Deleting incriminating evidence is essentially admitting guilt, not to mention obviously obstruction of justice.
- Even if they could get in with little effort for them to be able to use the evidence in court it would have to be legally obtained. This isn’t intelligence gathering on a foreign adversary. Trump and his lawyers are going to try every maneuver in the book to get him out of seeing any consequences for his actions, the FBI need to do everything with this case by the book or risk everything getting thrown out on technicalities.
- Which Ep was that?
  Edit: I completely missed that OP had the episode numbers listed in the post. Thank you poppy@lemm.ee for letting me know.
  
  The episode numbers 86, 87, and 88 are listed in the parentheses.

It's not surprising his password had been yourefired. Its surprising he used the correct "you're". Although i guess technically it would have been more secure to include the special character. Haha
- include the special character
  youtrumprefired

A Russian claims on Facebook that he got a Twitter direct message in 2012 from Trump that started the whole Russia + Cambridge Analytica combo: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/24/a-trumprussia-confession-in-plain-sight/
- What was our idea with Donald Trump?
  For four years and two days .. it was necessary to get to everyone in the brain and grab all possible means of mass perception of reality. Ensure the victory of Donald in the election of the US President. Then create a political alliance between the United States, France, Russia (and a number of other states) and establish a new world order.
  And there it is, proof that they not only want to install Trunp as president but also that they want to start the "New World Order" that they've had right wing and Nazi conspiracy theorists scapegoating onto the Jews and "liberals".
  It's so clear and obvious that this is what the global right wing is working towards because the messaging is almost exactly the same from right wing/conservative group and from country to country, and from right wing/Nazi/conservative pundits and influencers all across the world. The Global Right Wing want to take control of the world for their purposes, which should scare us all.

Jack Smith might want to check the Wayback Machine to make sure nothing's missing...
- when they ask for stuff like this, they already know what they're looking for.

Jack Smith is taking the hardball approach to slide into Trump's DMs....

Looking for logs to prove that Trump himself tweeted those things? 🤔
- I would guess he needed to see the drafts folder. It was reported that he went through several versions of the call to stand down on J6 before committing to what he sent, and some of them were more approving than others.
  
  You can save drafts in Twitter?

Must be going after DMs?

The FBI runs Twitter, what do they need a warrant for?
- Used to, maybe.
