CNN anchors John King and Dana Bash agreed that footage of Special Counsel Jack Smith going to Subway for lunch was some sort of “message” to ex-President Donald Trump.
When Trump announced Tuesday that he’s about to be indicted in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s conduct surrounding the 2020 election and the January 6 attack on the Capitol, CNN went into wall-to-wall coverage mode.
On Tuesday afternoon’s edition of CNN News Central, that coverage included footage of Smith scoring a $5 Foot-Long or some such at a Florida Subway restaurant.
Reporting on location from Florida, CNN correspondent Katelyn Polantz rolled the video and reported “Jack Smith is tight-lipped. He was spotted today by CNN going to Subway for lunch, picking up a sandwich, leaving and not saying a word.”
Jack Smith going to Subway today is a message to Donald Trump. Donald Trump tries to intimidate people. He tries to bully people. He tries to scare you away. That was Jack Smith, with no words and a simple $5 sub in his hand, saying I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. DANA BASH: Yeah, the imagery was, was intentional and spoke volumes.

So you're saying I should be able to commit a crime and be let go if I tell law enforcement that I'm running for President because I'm now a political opponent of the current administration?
Also, does this cut both ways. Biden is a political opponent of Trump. Why aren't you decrying Trump's allies in Congress running multiple investigations into Biden? How is what the DOJ is doing election interference but what members of Congress are doing not?

Kind of like launching a multi-year investigation into the son of your political opponent in an attempt to hurt your political opponent?

I'll point out again that these investigations were opened almost a year before Trump announced his candidacy. Should we stop investigating anyone for committing a crime because they might run for office in the future?

So the DOJ didn't launch an investigation into Hunter starting in 2018? Trump isn't still complaining that he would have won in 2020 if Twitter would have allowed the dick pics that were leaked from that investigation to be posted?

A claim that Weiss completely refutes.
Regardless, how would that change the fact that Trump had the DOJ go after the son of his political rival?

Don't you read the news?
The FBI ran interference for the Bidens.

So if somebody may have broken the law then there's no issue with the DOJ investigating even if it may hurt the current President's political opponent?

Either the level of simple mindedness is off the charts around here or they really don’t care how their masters are targeting Trump, just as long as they eliminate him.
Both are equally scary.

I see it more as anybody who tries to subvert the transfer of power and remain in office even though they lost, will face the consequences.
You would see it that way but in reality, that’s not what happened.
BTW, Trump is absolutely correct saying that he is completely within his rights to protest the outcome.
Remember when Al Gore held up the election for 36 days in 2000 because he didn’t like outcome in Florida?

It seems like they've found 1154 pages of classified material at MAL that Trump wasn't legally allowed to have in his possession based off today's hearing in Florida.
