A triathlon is a multi-discipline race involving swimming, cycling and running over long distances. And the Iron Man triathlon sounds insane: 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, and then a marathon of 26.22 miles. I write this because Special Counsel Jack Smith is not only a brilliant and accomplished prosecutor, overseeing teams of lawyers on cases involving gangs, violent crimes, financial fraud and public corruption, he is a
There is (at least) one point during any extreme endurance event like a IRONMAN where you're like, this is stupid, why am I doing this to myself? And then you tell yourself to shut up and keep moving. The satisfaction and triumph of crossing the finish line makes the journey worthwhile.
Jack Smith has been there, as evidenced by his nine IMs, and he's a perfect choice for this different kind of endurance event where nonstop obstacles will be thrown in his way.
The video should come with a warning, it will make you vomit a little. God speed to Special Counsel Jack Smith. Next up, investigations and charges to the members of SCOTUS that love them some billionaire right-wing nuts. The list keeps growing and growing, Moms for Liberty, DeSantis, Abbott, PAC's.... It's exhausting but we wont give up. Thanks for helping to keep the fight alive Jay!
Spot on, Michela. I've been damaged by a genuine shock from the recent reportings on the behaviors of the holier-than-thou SCOTUS conservative justices such like Thomas and Alito which they came up with certain decisions that we know today. Physically, I'm fine. But all that is going to give me better incentive to stay healthy so I can go vote against all Republicans in all election for the rest of my life. Go VOTE!!!
Oh, I dunno.....I rather think Miss Rudy is far easier to look at than the washed up wreck letting hair dye dribble down his face. If nothing else, Miss Rudy did a damn fine job on 'her' make-up (or supervised a good job--who knows?).
Yes! Love your “daily doses of clarity in these crazy times.” You have an amazing gift — your writing style is so perfect for these summaries. Love your humor, your frankness, and most of all the encouragement we get from reading your report every morning. Thank you!
Thank you for always bringing us a clear explanation of what is happening, served with a much-appreciated dollop of humor. Your final paragraph is brilliant and made me laugh out loud.
Jay, I love you! You are my window into the world of What The F****s Going On !!!
You bring the high brow of politics into a understandable language for me, a low brow. Thank you for all you do. You are also an Iron Man in my opinion!!!!
I don't know what I would do without being able to read your substack. You are always succinct and at the same time funny. I pray every new voter reads it, and it is an assignment for high school students.
I look forward to reading your insights every single day. Your brilliant insights and overviews are top notch. Thank you for keeping our democracy and the rule of law alive.
Quite honestly, there should be as many indictments issued commensurate with the crimes committed, and regarding the Independent's story about SC Smith "holding back" any indictments pursuant to crimes allegedly committed at tRump's Bedminster, NJ club pending Judge* Cannon's "conduct" in the MAL case, surely it's all about timing of a NJ indictment rather than how the MAL pre-trial/trial is playing out...at least this is my hope.
Serious stuff, leavened with humor--great way to get the day started!

I think that halfway through my 30 minute Elliptical workout at the gym!
lol
😄I’m with you on that!
🙏May Jack Smith and his family and friends be protected from the evil around them.

And sort out the details!!

Beautiful metaphor. I’m feeling along for the swim, ready for the ride and anxious to get running.

Iron Man vs Ketchup Guy. Priceless! Thanks for that Jay!

I can do marathon writing sessions, but that’s it!
I appreciate your insightful columns; worth every penny!

Love your analysis Jay. I anticipate your blog every morning.
I have a crush on Mr Smith.
So do I

He’s playing things close and carefully, as he must, in my view.
Very clever phrasing and analogy.
I really appreciate your writing style and the ability you have to break complex legal matters down into layman terms. Thank you.
I appreciate this so much too! And that it's (mostly) no-nonsense and right to the point helps me grasp the concepts quickly.
