They're seeking the identities of the rioters on January 20th. Over 200 people were arrested but many more have yet to face the consequences for what they did.

So there's a million or so people that visited that website and they want to unmask all those people to attempt to find 200 alleged rioters?

That sure sounds like an overreaching fishing expedition.

They already found 200+ alleged rioters. They're looking for the identities of the other 65,844,400.

No, they are grabbing all of the comments and all of the logs so that they don't have to go back and get a new warrant every time they find something of interest. Broad warrants for electronic records are quite common.
