What kind of heat would the person or party that started this hack get? What could be the expected consequences? Going after political figures, including the former President of the US, should, I think, trigger a digital man hunt.

At the very least, they face up to 10 years for violating the CFAA.

I really didn't imagine a purely financially motivated hack could be turned into politics. I guess I underestimate the levels of innovation.

Current administration is purely financially motivated though

this is motivated by profit. nothing political. potus being hacked would escalate to national security threat and possibly force twitter to shutdown by decree. which the hacker is smart enough to know not to tread
