Jack Smith sat in stone-cold silence as Trump lawyers pleaded with him not to indict: book

Special counsel Jack Smith took a meeting with attorneys representing former President Donald Trump earlier this year and reportedly sat in stone-cold silence while they pleaded with him not to indict their client.
Politico reports that ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl's new book on Trump's post-presidential life claims that Trump lawyers Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with Smith's team over the summer and gave them a list of reasons why charging Trump with crimes related to his efforts to illegally remain in power would be a mistake.
According to Karl, Smith sat through through the presentation without saying a word.

Nice visual! Minor correction for accuracy though, it's *Brett
For nearly 30 years I've thought it was Brad because the "Check out the big brain on Br.." sounds very much like "Brad" and I clearly ignored every other instance of his name. MY LIFE IS A LIE
They likely picked it up from this:

The silent pouting expression after the "I don't remember asking you..." line was great. Samuel L. Jackson has such a distinct and biting voice. I really hope they've sampled and preserved it for posterity and future use (non-exploitatively of course). Even if they recast the role he'll always be the voice of Principal Firebush to me.
