It’s not contempt, or obstruction. The subpoena/warrant might request that you keep your mouth shut, and any smart person could likely come up with any number of reasons not to go bragging/blabbing about it, but, the First Amendment *clearly* entitles the subject of a warrant, a subpoena, or an indictment to speak freely about it. Otherwise, we’d have “secret” trials, and that’s not a thing in the U.S. (Third party subpoenas are a different breed, but if the warrant is for *your* phone, you’re entitled to talk about it. Always. No exceptions.)
The Pillow guy is a drooling, gibbering moron, but he’s entitled to tell us that his phone got grabbed. (I am perfectly willing to accept that he does not understand the situation.)
