Smollett Skates

 

In a development so infuriating, even Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is seeing red, actor Jussie Smollett was basically given a get out of jail free card after his hoax involving his supposed assault by supposed Trump-supporters.

Is there any more clear expression of privilege than this? It must be nice to have corrupt friends in high places.

And predictably, liberals are already using the dropped charges as proof that “we’ll never know what happened.”

As if the media wasn’t already having a bad enough week, this is really just a cherry on top.

Thankfully we have folks like Tiana…

    I believe the federal investigation into the mail fraud is ongoing.

    Is the case still open? Are they still looking for the real culprits? Are the Nigerian brothers guilty? Is Smollett going to sue for false arrest?

    No? I think we do know what happened “on the street that night in Chicago.”

    Another demonstration of the two-tiered justice system in our country.  Pitiful . . .

    Wait, Kim Foxx recused herself and then ended up deciding the case? How does that work? I didn’t know you could un-recuse yourself. Apparently Jeff Sessions didn’t either!

    If Rahm Emanuel is upset, he has the power to remove Foxx and replace her with someone who will reinstate the charges.  As we lawyers would say it, jeopardy has not attached.  He may still be charged with his crimes.

    Let’s see if the emerging scandal prompts that action.

    In a thread marked members-only*, I mentioned the ongoing war between the Chicago Police Department and the State Attorney’s Office.

    Apparently, the CPD has just dropped the Big One.


    *Whoops. For some reason I thought it was marked members only.
