(16,786 posts)Prosecuting war criminals at The Hague takes skill. This guy looks serious about his work and he will do a thorough job. TDFG should be watching what he says and looking over his shoulders. He is on notice and Jack Smith is watching.

Trump must be very worried about this guy since he has started attacking him unmercifully since the announcement?
I hope we can all live to see justice done.

Circumstances today are a bit different.

(16,426 posts)Yes, the outcome of the Mueller investigation was very disappointing, but that was then, and this is now. I suggest we give Smith a chance to do his job and judge the results accordingly, rather than expecting the worst because of something in the past that he had absolutely nothing to do with.
I'm not talking about "getting our hopes up," or anything like that. I'm just saying let's wait and see how this thing plays out rather than assume in advance that it's going to be another Mueller mess. Keep an open mind. That is all.

We should hope for the best, I suppose?

(16,426 posts)People keep forgetting (or maybe just ignoring) that, for some reason. I don't get it.
Personally, I see this as a whole new ballgame. Different players, different umpire, different everything. We have no idea how it's going to play out, but I'm excited to watch and find out.
