CNN obsessively trailing Jack Smith like starstruck fans after news of potential third Trump indictment.

Watch: CNN Following ⁤Around Jack‍ Smith Like​ Fangirls After⁣ News of Possible Third‌ Trump Indictment

With all‍ of the ⁢hubbub around Washington, D.C., on​ Tuesday afternoon, CNN wanted America to be assured that Special⁣ Counsel Jack ⁤Smith — ⁤who‍ reportedly is on ‌the verge of charging former President⁤ Donald Trump with crimes ⁣related to the events ⁢of ‌Jan.⁤ 6, ​2021 — is‍ Eating Fresh.

Earlier in⁣ the day, ‍the former president — and ⁤current Republican frontrunner — announced on social media that he ⁣had ⁣received‌ a letter from ​the special ⁣counsel⁢ calling him a target ⁣in the Jan. 6 ⁤investigation.‌ A target letter is‌ typically a ⁤prelude ‍to ​an indictment‌ —⁣ and, indeed, Smith has ‌already gotten a grand jury indictment ‌against Trump on charges related to improperly retaining⁣ classified information after leaving‌ office.

“Deranged Jack⁤ Smith, the prosecutor with Joe ​Biden’s DOJ, ‍sent a letter (again, ⁤it was ⁢Sunday night!) stating⁣ that I am a TARGET of​ the January 6th⁢ Grand Jury ‌investigation,⁣ and giving me a very⁢ short 4⁣ days to report to the ⁢Grand Jury, which almost​ always means an Arrest and​ Indictment,” Trump wrote in‍ a statement.

BREAKING

They know ‌they can’t stop him legally.

This would ⁤be ​the ‍second major ‍indictment from ‌a special⁢ counsel appointed by the⁢ attorney general for the political opposition just ⁣as‌ the⁣ primary season​ winds up ​— ​two-and-a-half years after Jan. 6, but⁣ felicitously‌ just⁣ as ‍Trump‍ ramps⁤ up‌ his campaign⁤ to​ win the⁣ Republican nomination for a third time.

So, ​naturally, the big⁣ news on CNN‌ was ⁣that Jack Smith ‌was ⁤eating‌ at Subway.

“Turns out even Jack Smith​ can’t resist a $5 footlong,” CNN host ‌Dana Bash ⁣said, narrating ⁢as CNN’s reporters followed him ⁢around like‌ fangirls who’ve ⁤just spotted⁢ Justin ‌Bieber.

Is CNN just⁣ a propaganda arm of⁢ the Democratic party?

• Yes
• No

“That’s according to ⁢what ⁣we see⁤ right​ there. New and ‍exclusive⁣ CNN video of the⁣ special counsel ‍at ⁢Subway declining, though,⁢ to respond ‍to ⁤reporters’⁤ questions⁢ about today’s big⁢ news, ⁤a⁣ target letter sent ​to the former president​ of⁤ the⁣ United States.”

Earlier Bash‌ claimed ⁢“They‌ clearly wanted us ​to ‍see⁣ him‍ and that‌ image⁤ to⁢ be very different ​from⁣ what we saw in the former president’s ‍post , which ⁣is⁢ that he’s ⁤a deranged⁢ individual.” Evan Perez gushed “he stood in line ⁤like everybody else” ⁤(3/3) pic.twitter.com/WBUS0oBsAg

Here ⁤was ‌the​ breaking news ‌as it happened, ⁢according to CNN’s ⁤Evan⁤ Perez,⁢ who they⁣ sent ‍to‍ “track⁣ down⁢ the special ‌counsel,” according to Bash, who said ‌she wouldn’t “ask you⁣ all ⁣of⁣ the ⁢less‌ important things about ⁢what he got and how ​he ⁤paid and all that, but⁤ what is⁣ important ⁤is the⁣ imagery here.”

Oh⁣ yeah, clearly. ‌It’s ‌not ​important‍ that ‌Jack ⁢Smith ⁢ordered something at⁣ Subway and how he paid. (But ‌just ​out of ⁢curiosity ⁤— was it the tuna? Because nothing hits the spot like ⁤a Subway‌ footlong tuna sub with‍ extra jalapeño‍ peppers.‍ Also,⁢ Apple Pay? Or ⁤regular‍ debit card?)

“I⁢ can count probably five⁤ or​ six ‍sandwich ⁤shops between his office⁤ and⁢ that ⁢location⁢ that he was ⁣at ⁣earlier ‍today,” Perez noted,⁤ before adding Smith —‍ gasp!‍ — “stood in ⁤line⁤ just  ‌like everybody ‌else, and I couldn’t ‌tell whether it⁢ was⁣ a footlong ‍or⁢ is it a ‌— or was it ⁢a six-inch sub, but look, I⁤ mean, ⁣we now are ⁣on watch for when‍ this potential⁢ indictment is coming.”

This, ‍as Newsbusters’ Alex⁤ Christy pointed⁤ out, ‌was⁤ a‌ theme throughout‍ the hour on⁣ CNN, which ⁢is apparently ⁢missing‌ Chris‌ Licht​ a lot more than I ever would have imagined.

CNN⁤ or TMZ?⁤ Kaetlyn Polantz informs‌ us ⁤that “[Jack Smith]‌ was ​spotted today by ‌CNN going to​ Subway for ‌lunch, picking up a⁢ sandwich,​ leaving and not saying ‍a word.”⁢ (1/2) pic.twitter.com/M9xP91R8C4

“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,” CNN’s Katelyn‌ Polantz ‌said. “So, no ⁣comment ‌from the special counsel’s ​office on ​whether ​they plan​ to ⁣indict⁣ Donald Trump and when ​that⁢ is⁤ potentially going to happen for‌ the second time for⁤ a federal ‌case.”

But was ⁤it a footlong, Katelyn?! ​For the love ‌of Pete,⁣ get the story ‍here! This ‌is ‍Woodward‍ and ‍Bernstein on ⁢the heels ‌of ⁣the Nixon White​ House, and they can’t tell Ben⁢ Bradlee ⁤whether ⁤or ‍not H.R. Haldeman‌ had a spicy ⁣Italian or‌ a ‍meatball marinara!⁤ And, not only ‍that, they ⁢couldn’t⁤ even tell him ‌6-inch or​ 12-inch! ‍You remember‍ that scene from ⁤“All the President’s Men,” right? The way Jason ⁣Robards flipped his ‌lid over Dustin Hoffman and Robert ⁢Redford’s sloppy sandwich reporting practically sealed the Best​ Supporting ⁤Actor Oscar ‌for him⁢ that year.

John‌ King was also‌ taken in ⁤by the Subway metaphor, for some reason.

John King marvels, “Jack Smith ​going to ⁣Subway today is‍ a​ message to⁣ Donald ⁤Trump. … ⁤Jack Smith with no words⁣ and a simple‍ $5​ sub in his hand saying ‘I’m not going⁤ anywhere.’” ⁢Dana ‌Bash adds “the‍ imagery ⁢was intentional and ⁢spoke volume.” ⁣(2/2) ⁢pic.twitter.com/nDmd952R2c

“And just one ⁣last point,⁤ Jack⁤ Smith,​ remember when ‌the‍ classified​ documents target letter, when Trump announced that, there’s a lot‌ of commentary,⁢ you know,‍ ‘Is Jack Smith‍ making a ⁣mistake here? Is he leaving this⁣ all ​to Donald Trump?’ And then they ⁤released the ⁢indictment, ‌and we⁤ all said ‘Wow!​ Wow!’” King said.

“We read it. We saw ⁤the documentation. We saw‌ the level ​of⁢ detail,”⁤ he continued. “Jack​ Smith going to ​Subway today ⁤is⁣ a ⁤message ​to ⁢Donald⁢ Trump. Donald Trump ⁣tries ⁢to⁤ intimidate people, ⁢he tries⁣ bullies 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.’”

Yes, ​he’s⁤ going ⁢somewhere, John King. He’s ⁣going to ‌Subway. ⁢That’s⁣ what​ your‍ network is dedicating⁤ its afternoon⁤ coverage ⁣to —⁢ and you’re surmising ⁢that‌ his choice of sandwich joints is sending a ⁢message about‍ what’s in⁣ a⁣ potential ​grand⁣ jury indictment.

Stop ​and ⁢pause for ‍a second, ⁣and ⁢think ⁢to yourself⁤ whether ⁤you​ ever thought​ this​ is‌ what ⁤you’d ⁣be‌ doing on cable news. If you don’t⁣ start⁢ crying, you’re ⁣doing something wrong.

Not⁣ unpredictably,⁣ Twitter users⁢ weren’t particularly ⁣impressed​ with this⁤ use⁢ of ⁢reportorial⁤ resources, with conservative columnist David Marcus taking issue with⁢ Bash’s characterization of Smith’s​ decision to eat⁤ at​ Subway ‍an​ attempt to paint‍ a⁤ picture “very⁢ different from what we‌ saw in ​the former president’s ⁢post, which is that he’s​ a​ deranged individual.” Marcus wondered if perhaps the​ network didn’t ‍just stumble​ upon ‌him and that‌ they’d gotten⁣ the message that the choice ⁤of ⁣sub joints was‌ an⁤ attempt to ‌send⁢ a‌ message.

CNN is‌ the​ propaganda arm ⁢of the DOJ. Here’s ‌“exclusive ⁣footage,” of⁢ normal guy Jack Smith getting⁤ a Subway ⁣sandwich. Nobody⁣ who eats at Subway could be evil…. https://t.co/PUYxbT91cF

He ⁢wasn’t⁢ the ⁢only ⁤one who noticed this “accident.”

CNN “accidentally”​ was there⁤ Ha!

— ⁤Steven VB ​ (@vbislands) July 19, ‍2023

And, hey⁤ — it’s ⁤not⁣ like Subway’s ever been ⁤involved ⁤with anyone problematic, right?

Jussie Smollet⁣ vibes…

Did Jarrod⁤ serve ‌him‌ the​ foot long,

— Gary⁢ Brower‌ (@GaryBrower1) July ​18, 2023

The former reference was ‍to ⁣Jussie⁣ Smollett, ​whose‌ late-night visit to Subway⁢ in‍ Chicago was‌ capped off by a ⁤fake⁤ assault back ‌in 2019. The latter reference is ⁣to longtime Subway ​spokesman Jared Fogle,⁤ who was sentenced ‍to ⁢15​ years in prison on⁣ child pornography charges ‌in 2015.

Perhaps the most ⁤succinct — and representative — ⁢reaction was‍ this​ one, ⁣by​ a ⁣user known ⁣as “Beachglass.”

CNN sucks .

It’s⁣ bad enough ⁢that CNN ⁢is ‌going to dedicate hours ​of breathless coverage to ​speculation ⁢about what⁤ this indictment ‌might ⁢include before it’s​ even issued.⁢ They’re⁤ also ⁢going ‌to ​speculate over what a‌ visit ⁤to Subway ⁤means as they‌ act like it’s important.

But don’t worry: Dana Bash⁣ assures⁤ you they’re ‌not going to ask ⁤the ​unimportant questions, like what he had or ‍anything like that.⁣ Coming up ⁢tomorrow on CNN, Jack​ Smith’s visit to McDonald’s, which‌ absolutely won’t tell you whether⁢ he super-sized it or not — because‌ that ​would ⁤just be fatuous.
