Jack Smith has no fucks to give about Thanksgiving

[bigtree]

...when it comes to doing his new job.

NEW: Special Counsel Jack Smith literally just sent a letter to the 11th Circuit calling out one of Trump’s lies point blank. It’s Thanksgiving. But Jack Smith doesn’t care. He’s working because he cares about justice & accountability & nothing will stop him.

NEW: Special Counsel Smith - on thanksgiving - sends a letter to the 11th circuit pointing out a fatal flaw in one of trumps arguments in the documents case. Trump tried to argue a court forced the government to allow a special master in the Rudy case. 1/

Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote
Jack Smith points out that’s a lie. First, it was the government’s idea for a special master in the Rudy case. Second, Rudy’s a lawyer. Third, docs were released on rolling basis. Finally, Rudy didn’t have a civil proceeding invoking bullshit jurisdiction. LOL BAD ASS! END/

1. think I'm gonna like this guy....

[Skittles]

8. first pic I saw of him

reminded me of my teenaged years, the expression my dad had when meeting my dates........seeing this kind of attention focused on Donald Fucking Trump is freaking awesome

[Bluethroughu]

18. 100% it's Thanksgiving and it's on!

65. Yeah, same here

He does appear to be a no nonsense kind of guy, exactly what we need when dealing with people who are all nonsense all the time.

[Blue Owl]

2. Here's hoping he's getting a giant fork ready to stick in a big fat turkey

3. Honey badger doesn't give a shit (n/t)

[NCjack]

25. That could stick! Jack "honey badger" Smith. I like it. Should drive fear

deep into ol' Donnie's heart -- after someone shows him a video of a honey badger devastating an opponent.

[TigressDem]

42. I was thinking how Lawyers can be SHARKS at times, but I like Honey Badger too.

They have knowledge of "the deep" extent of law and can pop up with a jaw full of "lawful execution" that will "bite you in the a**"" if you are trying to pull some fake little stunt in court.

But honey badgers ARE bad a** and they don't CARE who you are.

[Botany]

49. The American Badger is a bad ass too

[PlutosHeart]

67. Perfect name.

Just absolutely perfect.

5. If You Think

You're going to get away with BS and fuckery,

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!

16. Beautifully said!

We had the first and second versions. Fun!

6. working on the holiday...

[BOSSHOG]

7. Kick his Ass trump

Ole Jack don’t know what he’s in for fucking around with the all powerful son of Fred. Lay a lil truth social on him. Just show him what a bad ass fucker you are. You know you got all the stupid people with you and republicans in congress. I apologize for the redundancy.

[soldierant]

17. Trump**'s already doing exactly that --

to his wife.

Bad idea, I suspect.

12. Special Counsel Jack "The Reaper" Smith

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

[calimary]

14. His newswatch never stops.

Nor should it! He’s got a big and critically important job to do. Good to see he’s on it, even on a holiday! But then again, scandals and cheating and lies and skulduggery don’t take holidays off either.

[Takket]

15. i'm still not happy Garland waited so long on appointing a SC if he thought one was needed....

but that being said, Smith is clearly all OVER this process (since this is all he has to do, as opposed to running the DOJ).

I'm pleased with his effort thus far.

[soldierant]

21. My personal opinion is that

he didn't really know one would be needed unti after the midterms, when the House was taken over by MAGAts screaming, among other things, "Impeach Merrick Garland!"

No, they couldn't stop him from doing his job ... but they could make it a lot harder and more hellish, and far more delayed.

Of course that's just my opinion.

[Joinfortmill]

40. With you

[Justice matters.]

51. My take is he didn't want to risk "helping" the election of his band of anti-democracy loons

As much as he could, and (in part) if so, that strategy worked so far and he waited to see what hair furhair would do as he said (running for the Fascists nomination).

Now that almost all his anti-democracy loons lost, the time to go after the orange criminal is before the 90-days pre-election period (whether hair furhair is the nominee or not).

An indictment followed by a criminal trial in which a conviction would ensue will be appealed up to the supremely corrupt court if a guilty verdict (must be unanimous) results in a conviction. That whole process could take months.

Getting rid of the Special Master case will be a big help in advancing the case against TFG. Special Counsel Jack Smith is working hard

30. Wow. Looks like Jack just opened the first can of a sixpack of whoop ass.

[Joinfortmill]

41. LOL

[agingdem]

31. I suspect Special Counsel Smith did not

take kindly to Trump trashing his wife...when Trump targeted Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, they were in no position to fight back ..Jack Smith is a hard-ass take-no-shit lawyer..there's no way he's going to let Trump's revenge fueled poison go unanswered...

[msfiddlestix]

36. wait. are you referring to Jack Smith's Wife? Trump Trashed Smith's Wife?

I mean its not like it's the first time he's pulled this playground bully tactic, but wow.

if that's what tfg did?

[agingdem]

37. He did..he called her out by name..

[msfiddlestix]

38. No words.

Psychotic and astounding level of Stupidity.

Truly perplexing.. The ultimate extreme of both.

The worst part of all of it, is the entire nation must endure witnessing it every single day and every single hour long past his shelf life.

it's pretty messed up when there's more like him getting elected, holding offices, and getting appointed to courts across the countrry.

How in the hell do we end this madness?

[Marius25]

47. So you're saying he'll defend his wife unlike Ted Cruz?

[Marcuse]

33. Someone who's done main procecurial work at The Hague certainly gets my attention.

34. I really enjoy

Good lawyering

[Deminpenn]

35. Any lawyer whose last job was investigationg and prosecuting

war criminals and war crimes has to have a determined mindset on another level than most garden variety USAs and DAs.

[GoCubsGo]

39. Well, to be fair, he's still in Amsterdam.

They don't do American Thanksgiving there. Not to mention he's laid up by that bike accident. Got to keep himself busy, somehow. That bike wreck is going to turn out way worse for Donald Trump that it will for him.

[BlueJac]

45. Taken care of business!

46. K & R

We're going to need a Mr Smith goes to Washington update

[Martin68]

48. "No fucks to give about Thanksgiving?" There was probably a better way to frame this. Tough

guys snark sounds pretty sophomoric sometimes.

[bigtree]

52. there's always one

...fuck given.

(I don't mind being a little sophomoric, sometimes.)

Holmes," I asked as we stepped into the street, "I realise the question sounds sophomoric, but do you find that there are aspects of yourself with which you feel most comfortable? I only ask out of curiosity; you needn't feel obliged to answer." He offered me his arm and, formally, I took it. "'Who am I?' you mean." He smiled at the question and gave what was at first glance a most oblique answer. "Do you know what a fugue is?" "Are you changing the subject?" "No." I thought in silence for some distance before his answer arranged itself sensibly in my mind. "I see. Two discrete sections of a fugue may not appear related, unless the listener has received the entire work, at which time the music's internal logic makes clear the relationship. — Laurie R. King

[BannonsLiver]

55. It's the Lucy with the football syndrome for me

I’ve lost count of the supposed saviors. The hero worship is little more than unintentional comedy at this point. Like when half the forum thought Michael Avenatti was going to take Trump down.

[bigtree]

57. the 'forum' has myriad opinions

...and 'hero worship' is a derisive term that almost always originates in the user's (cynic's) own imagination.

(should have said 'or two')

[Martin68]

59. Not always, Hagiography and "hero worship" both mean an exaggerated respect and awe born of

either a desperate need for someone to look up to and/or a mistaken understanding of who the object of worship really is.

[bigtree]

61. it's still primarily projection

...and an undue insult directed at a community of people who you may expect to respect your own opinions as something other than fealty to something or someone.

What's more deluding is angst expressed without ANY reference to anything that's actually occurring. It's not exactly brilliant to suppose someone isn't what you suppose someone else thinks of them.

If you take a moment to read the underlying court action, you may find this post to be not only encouraging, but informative, as well. Certainly not 'hero worship,' or whatever other derision you've conjured out of your own antipathy to this administration's DOJ (apathy, based curiously on some other president's DOJ).

[Martin68]

62. My comments have not been directed at the informative content of the post, but at the

silly and over-excited language that was a significant distraction, detracting from the informative mission of the post.

[bigtree]

64. 'detracting from the informative mission of the post'

...

[BannonsLiver]

69. Yeah, I must have imagined the part where people are fantasizing about how he spent the holiday.

And giving him nicknames. Totally not hero worship.

[bigtree]

71. yep, projection

...really nasty, derisive projection.

Here, you've taken your contempt for this Democratic administration's Justice Dept. and projected that GDS onto people who won't see the value you apparently do in meanness and derisive attacks on their expressing hope and optimism along with the progress from DOJ.

But, you do you.

[Martin68]

60. Excellent example, Liver. Avenatti, and Mueller, both suggest it's better to wait and see before

going all ga-ga over every knight in shining armor that comes along. But I understand the need to celebrate positive developments in a time of disappointments and just downright evil.

[BannonsLiver]

70. Oh we can't have "wait and see"

JaCk SmItH iS a HeRo!111

In all seriousness, we don’t know what Jack Smith is yet. Hero or zero? Maybe in between? Who knows. But clearly many people here have decided he is the silver bullet. One would think they would learned to, as you put it, wait and see.

[bigtree]

72. produce ONE post where someone here called Smith a 'hero'

...one post.

(btw, the only ones I found in my search were your own, claiming people were calling him a hero)

EVERYONE is 'waiting and seeing.' Some of us believe support and optimism is better than constant derision. EVERY time there's a new development that signals progress and people note it here, there are the same few folks chiming in with their pessimistic putdowns of people expressing hope.

No one has called Jack Smith a hero in acknowledging he's showing up to do his job while most of America celebrates the Thanksgiving holiday. You own that projection.

[Martin68]

73. Sorry, but the tough talk about no fucks on thanksgiving smacks of macho hero worship.

[bigtree]

74. the complaint smacks of projection

...but thanks for kicking this up again.

I've had enough of the insults.

[Martin68]

75. And who is it you suppose I am hero-worshiping based on this exchange? Or are you unfamiliar with

meaning of psychological projection?

[Peregrine Took]

53. 'Bet trumpie is terrified of this guy and 'has his "dogs" burning the midnight oil trying to

uncover some dirt on him.

(No slam on dogs - adore them - only used reference to same to highlight their tenacity.)

[Vinca]

54. I officially like this guy.

[Stargleamer]

58. I think Juan Gonzalez composed this. . .

For Jack Smith’s signature

[EndlessWire]

63. Wow!

I don't think misleading the 11th Circuit is in very good form! Bullshitting those guys could lead to headaches (sanctions for dessert?) How odd that the Special Counsel directed this in a letter to the 11th Circuit...I suppose that if a letter accomplishes your goal, then why not. The goal is to dismiss Special Master Dearie by overturning Judge Cannon's erroneous ruling. (Willing to bet that Dearie is praying to be relieved of those odiferous duties.)

Are they getting ready to rule? This is interesting to say the least. Monday?? What date is this projected for?

[Evolve Dammit]

66. God Speed Mr. Smith

[SheltieLover]

68. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

Ty for sharing!
