Federal Appeals Court Rejects Trump Bid to Deny Special Counsel Jack Smith Access to Trump's Twitter Datahttps://t.co/nk1jNVqXlI

The U.S. Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C., ruled against Trump’s request, stating that Smith should be able to access the former president’s Twitter account as part of his election interference case. It’s like the court is saying, “Hey, Mr. Trump, you can’t hide your tweets from us!”
But here’s the kicker: Smith could have obtained the Twitter data from the National Archives, but that would have alerted Trump. So, instead, Smith went through Twitter itself to get the records. It’s like Smith outsmarted Trump at his own game. Talk about a power move!
Now, here’s the real juicy part. Special Counsel Jack Smith has already gotten his hands on location data, draft tweets, and completed messages from Trump’s Twitter account. It’s like Smith is digging up all the skeletons in Trump’s digital closet. And you know what they say, “If you have nothing to hide, then why not let them have access?”
Of course, there were some conservative judges who dissented and believed that Trump should have executive privilege over his Twitter data. But come on, can’t a former president’s tweets be used as evidence? It’s not like they were private messages between him and his best buddies. It’s like these judges just want to protect Trump at all costs.
Now, Trump is expected to ask the Supreme Court to rule on this matter. But let’s be real here, folks. It’s highly unlikely that the Supreme Court will overturn the decision. Trump’s Twitter data will soon be in the hands of Special Counsel Jack Smith, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
So, buckle up, folks, because this election interference case just got a whole lot more interesting. Don’t be surprised if Trump’s tweets end up being front-page news. It’s like a reality TV show, but with legal consequences. Gotta love politics!
