It’s not really Schadenfreude but Jack Smith’s pictures and resume have real “fuck around and find out” energy to them. I’m cautiously optimistic.
Agreed, his picture is scary. Just like Stephen Miller’s picture looks like pure evil. They’d make good foes in a comic book.
Oh, dear god, I cannot let this comparison go unchallenged!
This:
Should never be compared with this:
The first looks like someone begging to be knocked over so as to steal his lunch money.
The second looks like someone not to mess with. (And is rather good looking, too, IMHO.)
(Sorry, I’m not into photo hosting services, so this was the best I could do.)
What if Miller could kick Smith’s ass?
Loved your spoiler.
Stephen Miller is a perfect exemplar of the theory that you can tell someone’s personality from their appearance – not always, true, mind you, but it’s astonishing how often it is. And Stephen Miller needs only an SS Schutzstaffel uniform with a swastika armband to be the picture-perfect Nazi, an image perfectly consistent with his espoused values.
Jack Smith looks … surprising. I would not have expected a Special Counsel to look like that. But given his incredible background, I say he looks formidably bad-ass, and look forward to the ass-kicking he’s going to deliver.
Some of the news channels seem to alternate the ‘bearded Smith sitting in his Hague prosecutor uniform’ shot with an unbearded shot, visible in this NPR article:
For maximum PR value, DOJ should claim that the bearded uniform shot was taken only one day after the unbearded shirtsleeves shot.
Well, they both look like they could be bond villians. Although Miller as more of the Blowfeld, swarmy, effite evil genius who stands back and strokes his cat while other people do all the dirty work. Smith on the other hand looks more like the Aris Kristatos sort of villain who got where he was by clawing his way to the top and will probably end up in a fist fight against Bond over a vat if molten metal.
That’s pretty funny.
I know where I’m puttin’ my money!
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned that he also dresses like the Avenger Hawkeye. I assume that he scampers across rooftops during investigations, shooting trick arrows at henchmen with uncanny accuracy.
Well, whatever he’s scampering after… it won’t be Trump. I can’t visualize the words, “Trump” and “scamper” in any sentence. Or situation.
No, but there may be more flight-prone henchmen to track down.
Surely, you’re joshing us.

No, but there may be more flight-prone henchmen to track down.
That is perfect.
Somewhere in all the coverage about Mr. Smith’s move to Washington I think I heard it reported that he participates in triathlons to stay in shape. I was trying to find a confirmation of this but couldn’t find one.
If true, looks like it will come in handy.
I for one would pay to see Smith break Miller over his knee like a twig.

Surely, you’re joshing us.
He’s not, and don’t call him Shirley.
And for more on DJT’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in court:

So what kind of stuff could be in the returns that DJT doesn’t want us to see? If he was breaking the law, tax-wise, wouldn’t that be handled by the IRS without needing anyone else’s help?
Mainly that he did not pay any taxes for a number of years due to business losses (because he’s a crappy businessman) combined with the figures that show he’s not that wealthy.
Which… we’ve all known for awhile now.
Did the IRS ever finish its damned audit of the guy and/or his business(es)?
