When I was a young kid, one of my favorite things to do every year was to take in the annual air show over at the nearby air base.
Usually these shows would feature the famous Blue Angels aerobatic team. And there was one trick in particular they did that I remember.
There were 6 planes total in the Blue Angels. Theyd all take off together and do a few initial stunts as a team.
Then two of the planes would inevitably split off from the group, while the remaining 4 continued to entertain the crowd.
And there would always come a point where we as the audience would be watching the four planes in front of us perform some stunt, when all of a sudden, one of the two planes that had split off would come up from behind the audience at a high speed and low altitude and surprise everyone. It would give everyone a great jump scare because while we were distracted by the planes in front of us watching them do a trick, the one solo plane would launch a sneak attack on us that no one saw coming.
And it was shocking, but once you got over that shock, you couldnt help but laugh.
Thats what Jack Smith did today.
We were all watching him on the January 6th case and expecting something out of that today, and instead he comes out of nowhere and surprises us with the new Mar a Lago documents case charge against Trump.
A surprise sneak pass trick indeed!

But then I always end up laughing.
I used to live near an airport which held an annual air show and the BAs
and Thunderbirds did their practice runs the day before right over my house.
When it was a cloud cover day, and they did low altitude practice it was
really fun but scary.
