  This thread is literally jacking off to him because he does iron man races
context: Any chance we can just let this dude do his work and not creat fanfic or weird fucking cartoon character of him as a superhero? >
  
  You'd think people would learn to tame their expectations after Mueller. >
  
  To be fair, the Mueller report was good actually.
  But nobody actually read it and republicans and the DOJ lied to control the narrative. >
  
  Oh I agree and I read it as well, along with FBI 302s dump. But it's Mueller the man I was referring to. He was hyped up to be this sharp, witty, crack detective, but when we finally heard from him in the  hearings he came across as anything but that. >
  
  Yeah agreed. Same thing happened in this sub with Michael Avenatti and seems to happen with any “loud” anti-right winger. It’s super annoying >
  
  Forgot all about that guy. He was definitely in the same boat. That whole situation just seems like a bad joke at this point. >
  
  I thought he was funny but 100% disavowed when the Nike drama happened.  Not hard to cut someone on your side off when you're not a cult >
  
  Do what must be done.  Do not hesitate, show no mercy. >
  
  He’s a war crimes prosecutor, he doesn’t hesitate lol >
  
  He looks exactly like what I would think of if you told me that. >
  
  Count Dooku >
  
  
  What if I told you that the Republicans are now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith? >
  
  Lmao not according to those vote totals today >
  
  I'd ask for refund on Boebert's, MTG's, and Matt Gaetz's inhibitor chips. They're all clearly faulty >
  
  Funny enough, MTG is NOT among the 20 never-Kevins.  McCarthy must've promised her all kinds of stuff 🤢🤢 >
  
  Wait. Where was he before? >
  
  Den Haag, Nederlands. He was posted to the International Criminal Court as the US representative. He had injured his leg in a bicycle accident and was recovering there. He’s apparently been working remotely since his appointment by Garland. >
  
  Fucking Garland.
  "How the fuck do I slow walk this further? I know, find me someone out of the country, preferably in a hospital bed." >
  
  All the legal folks say he’s thorough and relentless. He’s been working on this for a couple months. I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot more from him soon. >
  
  Are you talking about John Durham?  Because that is what half of the US said about him. >
  
  The half of Americans that said that about Durham don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. >
  
  Half of America is dumber than the average American.   
  Source: George Carlin >
  
  Whoever said that is, unfortunately, does not understand outliers or skewed distributions, and is likely in the lower half.
  More accurately, half of America is dumber than the median American. >
  
  Human intelligence falls on a bell curve and as such the median and average are the same, so actually you are the one that is mistaken. >
  
  My man looking like Terrence Stamp as Zod >
  
  Thank you.  I've been trying to place that look since I saw that shot of him. >
  
  He’s also got that signature look of superiority. You could also be recognizing that. >
  
  Kneel before Zod! >
  
  Hey ya hippies: get your butts off the road! >
  
  What is that outfit he's wearing? It makes me think he's fixing to give the benediction >
  
  It's the prosecutor robes from the ICC at The Hague i think. >
  
  We got a winner! America gets screwed with the plain black robes and no wigs :( >
  
  Ok that's cool AF. >
  
  
  When Smith isn't busy competing as a triathlete in Ironman races, they said, he is working as a dogged investigator who is open-minded and not afraid to pursue the truth.
  
  He definitely looks like the kind of person that runs Ironman races. >
  
  He looks like the kind of person who would kill three men in a bar with a pencil. >
  
  With a fuckin’…PENCIL! >
  
  God damn sexually abusive justice pencils. >
  
  I had high hopes for Mueller and fuck all happened with that. I'll give this dude credit when he does something of substantial value. Until then, I'll sit and wait with cautious optimisim. >
  
  Mueller found guilt but he mealy-mouthed it because he has no balls. Jack Smith looks like he has all the balls. God speed. >
  
  Jack Smith, in this photo, looks like he’s here to fuck shit up lol >
  
  The beard shows he means business. >
  
  What does Cruse's beard say about him? >
  
  The opposite of business, a Cancun vacation. >
  
  Chances on all this shit finally ending on the 1 year anniversary of Jan 6th?
  Edit: Jesus fucking Christ how has it already been 2 years >
  
  Zero. Since that has already passed. >
  
  It's the 4th. >
  
  If you’re referring to January 6 meaning the date of the insurrection, that happened in 2021. It’s 2023. A year has already passed. Two basically. >
  
  lol after mueller, et al ill get excited if they do anything that leads to anything. >
  
  Mueller report wasn’t the issue Barr refused to do anything with it. >
  
  Please let's not turn this into another Mueller "He's Superman and gonna save us all!" situation. The results matter; until then telling superhero stories about him doesn't amount to anything. >
  
  People above already 'mirin his beard and the fact that he runs ironmans. Jesus christ. >
  
  With him was a barrel of molten tar and a giant bag of feathers. >
  
  The amount of money I would pay… and I don’t even make that much. >
  
  Is it me or does it look like he’s seen some shit? >
  
  His previous position was the chief prosecutor at The Hauge, trying war crimes in the Kosovo War.
  So, yea, he's seen some serious shit. >
  
  That war was...25 years ago. >
  
  He looks like he's getting ready for some exorcising. >
  
  Rip and tear until it is done >
  
  The Jack Smith fanfic in here is weird >
  
  It is Robert Mueller all over again. >
  
  Seeing is believing >
  
  He's only fearless if he indicts the orange pumpkin. >
  
  Wouldn't it be nice to see an indictment tomorrow January 6th >
  
  They had the same epithets for Mueller. I’ll believe it when I see it. >
  
  "Special counsel"? Yeah, heard that one before, turned out to be a gutless wonder. >
  
  I'm sure he has a lot of evidence. All he has to do is wrap it up. >
  
  I get a bit of a "Jordan Peterson if he was a real boy" vibe from him. >
  
  “…and not a monumental dicknose.” >
  
  Reminds me of the great illusions people had about Mr. Mueller. And all was in vain eventually. >
  
  Hopeful liberals are desperate for Trump to finally be charged with something.  They convince themselves that the new investigator is a superhero, and this will be the scandal that finally gets Trump locked up. >
  
  Every picture of this guy is scary. >
  
  "Smith recently returned to the United States after working from The Hague in the Netherlands since November while recovering from knee surgery following a biking accident, a person familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Wednesday."
  So, he's finally arrived in DC? Can we at least get a date for his arrival then? 
  The rest of the story is just background stuff. What is he doing as Special Counsel, has he started working on the two Trump cases? >
  
  Well he filed paperwork on Thanksgiving and he's been getting subpoenas issued.
  So yeah - he's working. >
  
  would be nice if a reuters story about it would include more info than a random reddit comment. >
  
  Like all bullies, Trump is a coward. This is the kind of fella that somebody like Trump fears the most. I think he might be truly scared for the first time in his life right now. I'm good with it. >
  
  Mr. Smith goes to Washington.  Sounds like a good movie >
  
  can we just nail this mother fucker to the wall so we can move on... >
  
  Thank you. I too am sick of this shit being dragged out. >
  
  The face of justice >
  
  I love his ‘WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?’ facial expression >
  
  Holding judgement until the end. Been disappointed by this process before. >
  
  Let’s go Jack >
  
  Well I’m glad that Coach Beard was able to find a job during the offseason. >
  
  I can't help reading this:
  
  Behind the scenes, however, Smith's former colleagues say he is just as tenacious in his pursuit to get criminal charges dropped for the innocent as he is to win convictions against the guilty.
  
  And this:
  
  "There was just a real emphasis, from Morgenthau on down, on not just going after convictions," recalled Todd Harrison, an attorney at McDermott Will & Emery who worked with Smith in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and later in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn.
  
  And this:
  
  "We were praised if we investigated something and demonstrated that the target of the investigation was innocent."
  
  Color me sceptical but this surely looks like the idea that Trump may get off the hook because of some technicalities is being planted already. Mueller, anyone? >
  
  No. Not falling for this bullshit again. >
  
  Oh bullshit. Show us or gtfo. >
  
  Why does this guy look like he’s about to win a bowling tournament >
  
  What kinda weird headline is this? Just let the man do his job . We don’t need all the extra weirdo shit. >
  
  Daddy Smith can lay his gavel down wherever he wants. >
  
  He looks like he eats nails for breakfast with no milk. I wouldn't want him as a prosecutor against me. >
  
  Or dry Grape Nuts. >
  
  That's just straight harmful >
  
  The article is basically explaining why he is likely a good special counsel. The problem I have is, nobody actually in charge is willing to go against or even set president regarding past presidents or those running. It's as if the safest way to be a criminal is run for potus. >
  
  
  The problem I have is, nobody actually in charge is willing to go against or even set president regarding past presidents or those running.
  
  They already set precedent...
  They got the judiciary to agree that Executive Privilege lies with the current President, not TFG. That was untested opinion before this DOJ went out and got precedence from SCOTUS.
  And they got a judge to agree that they could execute a search warrant on a former president, which has never been done before as far as I know.
  Those are both the first steps that you have to take to be able to indict a former President. >
  
  First, it was my autocorrect that turned precedent to President. I should have looked. Shameful.
  Second, you're right they did execute a search warrant but in my opinion just to get the materials back. And that is a separate investigation regarding the stolen documents, correct? I don't know of other steps taken besides subpoenas for the insurrection investigation. But I might be wrong.
  Humiliating as it is, there are so many independent investigations going on with so many agencies regarding his administration and his personal crimes, I am not entirely sure we know what to do. How to proceed. Usually, it's a single, extravagant crime like Blagojevich or Hastert that makes it easy. But as potus, dipping his toes into the crime water as much as he did, I honestly think it's a bit unnerving to the justice dept. How can they both appear impartial as an arm of justice and indict a past president running for a second term under the other party's current potus? Very strange. But it must be done. In my opinion, actual justice is more important to the survival of our republic than the pretense of a unified, peaceful duo of parties. Because a party can change. Parties come and go. The integrity of the nation is forever. >
  
  It just feels like trump is DDOS’ing the justice systems. If he commits enough crimes, maybe he can gum up the system until he can figure something else out. It’s just a series of delays until some other clock runs out. “Oh, look, I’m president again and we all know that you cannot indict a sitting president… even my DOJ lap dog says so!” >
  
  Yeah it really does feel like he's waiting out the clock. And it feels like we just want to move past his crimes to show the world how great we are, we don't have despots ruining things here, look! But he hasn't gone away. Nor has his cult. So we do need to make indictments. >
  
  What should his theme song be? >
  
  Nah nah nah nah—nah nah nah nah—hey, hey, goodbye 🎶
  Edit: or, on a happier note, Free’s “It’s alright it’s alright baby—it’s alright now” >
  
  I cant get the “imperial march” out of my head. >
  
  Old school WWE fan here - Batista’s entrance theme from the late 00s’ to late 10s’. 
  Saliva - I Walk Alone >
  
  Only needed to hear the first 20 seconds. Yes! >
  
  Better not be over hyping this guy. I remember the lionisation of Mueller >
  
  Does he have time off from filming Ted Lasso? >
  
  Somebody on here should create a subreddit dedicated to Jack Smith. >
  
  General Zod's Cousin! (-Colbert's writer's). >
  
  Oh here we go again making another special counsel out to be John Fucking Wayne. Save us the masturbatory fanfare. >
  
  I've heard this one before, Muller 2.0? >
  
  Oh you mean the guy who indicted Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Roger Stone, Fed the info to SDNY that flipped Cohen, and made the public more privy to Russian election interfering details than had ever been publicly been available before? 
  The guy with 14 spin-off investigations that Bill Barr put the man who “investigated” Epstein in charge of? 
  If that’s what Mueller could do under a Republican administration with the GOP controlling all branches of government then I have enough faith in Jack Smith’s abilities when he’ll have the resources of the DoJ and be able to convene grand juries just the same as Mueller once did. >
  
  I think too many people let Mueller off the hook. He very, very clearly protected Trump. Neither he nor his family were even questioned during the investigation. Then there’s the “red line” of his finances, ignoring the blatant Trump Tower Moscow deal. >
  
  Jr and Kush got interviewed despite the fact Trump warned that if Mueller investigated his financials or went after his kids that meant Mueller would get fired. Meanwhile, Rosenstein (who was actually doing what you’re accusing Mueller of) was the real reason Mueller had no edge on the Executive branch and no way of capitalizing on big targets. 
  Robert Mueller fast tracked Roger Stone’s indictment after finding out his office would be closing. There’s absolutely no reason for him to do that if he was protecting Trump.
  You wanna say somebody was a snake, it was Rosenstein. Mueller’s got enough body count for me to be of the opinion he wanted to do his job. >
  
  The Eagle has landed. >
  
  Go get ‘em, Jack.  You’re a badass. >
  
  Sure he looks like that, but what if he has a Jared Kushner voice or something? Then what?? >
  
  Lots of comments on his looks. Like who give af about that, will he actually do anything? Is he effective? Will our legal system do anything with his findings? Is this just more justice-hype, that results in a fart? >
  
  Now that is a hard stare, for when people forget their manners. >
  
  Mad dog smith in on the hunt. Won’t be long before indictments start flying all around. I hope perry, gosar, Jordan, eastmsn, Rudy, Clark, stone, bannon, Trump all get one. >
  
  Just get on with it. >
  
  Can we stop giving people titles until shits are done first?
