I find it fascinating that I have never seen a contemporary photo of Jack Smith other than the one in his legal robes at The Hague. No quick snaps of him moving from a limo to a restaurant. Nothing.

I've never heard his voice. Never seen a quote.

I do admire whatever he's doing to maintain his distance far from the madding crowd.

Have any of you seen or heard more?

Edit: I put in the subject, but it's not there. Is that a thing?

Edit 2: In the above edit I tried to say "I put (open angle bracket) sarcasm (close angle bracket) in the subject. But it's not there.. Obviously there's a rule. Can someone explain?

3. Short video if you want to hear his voice.

5. Thank you! Can't wait to hear him decades older to see if it changed. nt

7. That was him speaking in 2011.

His voice probably hasn't changed that much.

He's in his early 50's now, early 40's when that video was shot.

10. Wo! Looks like his time at The Hague aged him a lot. nt

19. male voices soften with age

and women's get deeper.

Noticed this from Hillary videos when younger vs. now, and from some men recorded both now and earlier.

4. Cool story bro

6. Normally prosecutors talk through their pleadings

Right now, most of Special Counsel's pleadings/filings are under seal due to grand jury secrecy. However, Jack Smith has been busy as seen by Pence testifying and various subpoenas such this one

8. I'd rather not see him!

Because it means he has his nose to the ground and investing his time in the task at hand. He isn’t going to publicize for the sake of the investigation.

9. "No quick snaps of him moving from a limo to a restaurant."

Limo, swanky restaurant: ELITE! CORRUPT! ESTABLISHMENT! CANAPES! CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS! EXPENSIVE SOFT FRENCH CHEESES! RIGGED! OLIGARCHS! FAKE NEWS!

13. So, you have no idea? That you haven't seen or heard

him is totally irrelevant, it seems to me. What also seems to me to be the case is that you're hunting for yet another way to diss the Justice Department.

See, I've not seen nor heard you say anything good about it ever. Maybe you can claim that you have, but I've never heard it or seen it. Same argument, see?

14. I think you misunderstood me.

"I do admire whatever he's doing to maintain his distance far from the madding crowd."

This was meant to be in praise of Smith's ability to stay out of the limelight and do his job.

When you say "yet another way," are you directing that to me, personally????? I've never "dissed" the justice department. I have no desire to. Perhaps you've got me mixed up with someone else?

15. For what it's worth, I undertand the point

you're making and didn't read anything else into it. Mueller was VERY circumspect
during his investigation, and yet he was seen occasionally in contemporary photos or even short remarks. I, too, think it's odd. Suspicious? No, just odd.

16. a lot of that goes on around here

[senseandsensibility]

17. True

I remember years ago I mildly criticized Keith Olberman (who I like) and I was accused of every hidden motive under the sun.

18. Thanks for your comments. Yes, it's noteworthy how often...

... people are absolutely sure about hidden motives.
