As Twitchy reported earlier Tuesday, former President Donald Trump suggested on Truth Social that he might be indicted a third time, this time in connection with the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol.
What did special counsel Jack Smith have to say about it? Nothing … at least not with words. The brain trust at CNN thought that Smith spoke volumes Tuesday afternoon by leaving a Subway restaurant with a $5 sub. The network even bragged about having "exclusive video."

For real. And then they had to discuss the relevance of the Subway trip:
“Jack Smith going to Subway today is a message to Donald Trump”

Nobody on this 40 person CNN panel interrupted to say “maybe he was just buying lunch”pic.twitter.com/GY3iOQ3W0L
A message to Donald Trump? Like, "This isn't MAGA country"?
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

They need Trump so badly.
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

He stood in line like everybody else.
This is just a lot to take in all at once.
Somebody needs to tell CNN that the days of the "$5 Footlong" are long gone.

The sandwich was closer to $20.00.#Bidenomics

Jack Smith going to Subway today sends a strong message that he was hungry and that he lacks imagination and discernment when it comes to sandwiches

What would CNN do without Donald Trump? They obsess over him daily.

We’re on year 7 of this stuff

John, is the sub in the room with you now?

This is how ridiculous the mainstream media is, and they don't even know it. Yeah, it "spoke volumes" that Smith went to Subway and got lunch. Trump must be quivering in his golf shoes.
