    And so? If you’ve ever known a detective, you know that they (or if they’ve done it a LONG enough time, their minions) spend a huge amount of their work day picking away at building a case, almost molecule by molecule. Because judges, and chain of evidence and stuff like that.

    Ted Ja t’ink Trump might just have deleted all his tweets and warned everybody he exchanged messages with?

    I guess you believe he would never destroy evidence.

    .

    You’re edging toward MoreRon territory.

    It’s not just the tweets themselves, but the location the tweets were sent IP addresses, the device used, and other information analyzed by Twitter. Information that can determine whether the tweet was tweeted by Orange Traitor or one of his minions. It’s amazing the amount of information the various Social Media sites record of it’s users.

    Just another way we’re seeing the thoroughness of Jack Smith’s approach, building a case step-by-step. As much of the Jan. 6 case rests on the mindset of Traitor45, finding concrete evidence of this is vital.

    What is your point, Ted? That Jack Smith is doing his job? And he doesn’t want Trump to stop doing what he is doing?

    In Intell collection we protect our source. We WANT Trump to keep doing what he’s doing.

    And just think, if TRUMP is doing this, how many other bad guys out there are using social media to send illicit messages?

    And now they know that we know what they are up to.

    Is this what magas want? They don’t like to be told what to do but yet, Fascist "rump will do just that! He’s USING the sheep to get what he wants then he’ll forget they ever sent money and supported him.

    Just like the GOP whining about special council then complain and whine when their wish was granted!

    Too complicated. A cartoon should be more - blam! between the eyes. Ted should know better — he’s a prize-winning practitioner.

    With advances in technology, detective work has changed over the years. It’s still a lot of following the subject, but more paths to follow are presented. Would Ted have us not follow all the paths to find the crimes? With the advances in technology, cartooning has changed over the years. Or would Ted still rather use a quill, homemade ink and parchment? Not using modern tech would seriously put a damper on his podcasts with his friend Stantis.

    Need everything available to remove reasonable doubt and get the orange colon polyp behind bars. If they get the info from any source other than twitter, can claim it’s been tampered with. Need to know who was communicating with whom for conspiracy evidence. Say, isn’t that a cloud you can shake your fist at?

    If deletes don’t actually delete the data, the nondisclosure would be pointless. In fact, if the data remains, deletion indicators might be significant. Although searching for illegal activity through tweets is still lame.

    So thats what you all focus on? Not on the over reach and trampling of rights ? I dont care if you are the devil the law should not circumvent itself to go after any one period. The administration hasn’t bend the law when it comes to trump and ppl on the right (and some of the left than dont follow orders ) it has made origami with it!!

    Trump’s history of posing as his own PR firm and publicist should give us reason to believe that he has alias accounts. I am sure that the worst were posted under a “nom de guerre”.

    Donald Trump Takes Legal Risk by Sharing Tanya Chutkan Claims

    On Sunday, Trump shared a post on Truth Social from right wing activist and lawyer Mike Davis which falsely accused U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of having “admitted” she is engaging in election interference against the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination while overseeing the federal proceedings.

    Trump also shared a quote from Chutkan early on Monday which she gave in October 2022 while sentencing a woman, Christine Priola, in connection with the Capitol riot when the judge suggested her offending was the result of “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”

    “She obviously wants me behind bars. VERY BIASED & UNFAIR,” Trump added in a follow up post.

    Chutkan warned the former president and his attorney about Trump’s “inflammatory” statements during a Friday hearing on whether to impose a pre-trial protective order. Federal prosecutors argued the motion was needed to stop Trump from publicly discussing evidence or intimidating potential witnesses in the case.

    In her ruling granting a protective motion, which is common in most criminal cases, Chutkan dismissed Trump’s lawyer’s suggestions that the order would violate his First Amendment right to free speech and made clear he would be treated as any other defendant, even while he is on presidential campaign.

    Chutkan also warned that any violation of the order or potentially harmful public comments could result in her arranging for a speedy trial to reduce the risk of a tainted jury pool or witness intimidation.

    “What the effects of my order are on a political campaign are not going to influence my decision. This is a criminal trial,” Chutkan said.

    “The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case which could taint the jury pool or intimidate potential witnesses, the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial to ensure a jury pool from which we can select an impartial jury.”

    Obviously the artist doesn’t have clue what “DM” means, or he thinks they are public.

    They’re not after the data. They’re after the metadata.
