Special counsel Jack Smith took a meeting with attorneys representing former President Donald Trump earlier this year and reportedly sat in stone-cold silence while they pleaded with him not to indict their client.
Politico reports that ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl’s new book on Trump’s post-presidential life claims that Trump lawyers Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with Smith’s team over the summer and gave them a list of reasons why charging Trump with crimes related to his efforts to illegally remain in power would be a mistake.
According to Karl, Smith sat through through the presentation without saying a word.
I’m imagining him staring down the clownfucks while taking bites of his subway sandwich the way Jules looks at Brad as he empties his tasty beverage.
Nice visual! Minor correction for accuracy though, it’s *Brett
For nearly 30 years I’ve thought it was Brad because the “Check out the big brain on Br…” sounds very much like “Brad” and I clearly ignored every other instance of his name. MY LIFE IS A LIE
They likely picked it up from this:

The silent pouting expression after the “I don’t remember asking you…” line was great. Samuel L. Jackson has such a distinct and biting voice. I really hope they’ve sampled and preserved it for posterity and future use (non-exploitatively of course). Even if they recast the role he’ll always be the voice of Principal Firebush to me.
Subway? Naw. Jack smith has standards
I’m going to imagine a made-at-home Dagwood’s-esque beauty.
That, or he has an induction burner and he pan seared a giant porterhouse. Maybe fry off some country potatoes and asparagus.
It was one of the first times (if not the first) Jack Smith was shown on camera since being named Special Prosecutor and not an older press photo. He was pointedly ignoring reporters’ questions while he walked to the courthouse from the subway across the street, sandwich bag in hand.
He no doubt has great taste, but is also very practical. Potatos would get soggy if he prepared them in the morning, maybe induction cooktop wasn’t available, and as a distance runner (or cyclist, I forget) he needed a little cardio, so down the street to the subway! 👍
It’s reference to a weird news article a while back about him being seen getting subway for lunch
I am going with organic no added sugars peanut butter on whole wheat. His wife is concerned about the results of his last checkup and according to Jack there is only one person on earth you should be afraid of, Mrs. Smith.
So he sits there silently eating his nutritious lunch dreaming of a nice fried egg sandwich.
Well, Jules didn’t really choose what was ‘served’.
I can just see him holding eye contact as he slams a slab of meat onto a hot pan
