    I’m glad the prosecutor in charge of prosecuting treason and a coup decided to spend his time and political capital solving a cool procedural puzzle. I’m sure nobody will be smart enough to see he took a legitimate question and acted disproportionately.

    I think he relished having his hands tied so they wouldn’t have to get dirty. Because getting your hands dirty means silver shirts will threaten or harm your family.

      Yeah I could see this argument working for Mueller, maybe. But Jack Smith has been pretty on the ball this whole time. There are a couple things I wished he would’ve done faster, but I understand his reasoning. The problem is we let conservatives completely corrupt the judiciary the last 40 years. I can’t really fault Jack Smith for that. I don’t think he has relished any of this whatsoever.
