Suddenly this week the prosecutor's office in Chicago dropped all charges against actor Jussie Smollett. It wasn't because new information came to light. No,Joe Magats, the first assistant state attorney in Illinois in announcing the decision to drop charges said:
"This was not an exoneration. To say that he was exonerated by us or anyone is not true," Magats said. "We believe he did what he was charged with doing."The assistant prosecutor said that Smollett had completed 16 hours of community service working with Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Push coalition and forfeited a $10,000 bond. That was deemed sufficient to drop the charges and expunge Smollett's record.
Hundreds of young black men currently in jail in Chicago would love to have that deal. But they aren't supported by wealthy and powerful donors like those who backed the State's Prosecutor Kim Foxx, who despite earlier reports never fully recused herself in this case. Kim Foxx benefited from over $400,000 in PAC contributions to her election by Nazi collaborator George Soros. Big money, and celebrity wins again!
Never mind that this hate-filled and divisive hoax did irreparable damage to race and gender relations not just in Chicago but the entire country.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel asked: "Where is the accountability in the system? You cannot have because of a person’s position, one set of rules apply to them and another set of rules apply to everybody else," he said.
Prosecutor Foxx also had direct contact with the Smollett family as well as a former Obama Administration official. Text messages show appeals for favoritism. Obviously those appeals succeeded.
Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police has requested a federal investigation into funny business by the Soros funded prosecutor. Federal law enforcement may also file charges against Smollett. Until that happens there is an open question about what price for justice for the poor in Chicago!

In some cities, people might be shocked if the mayor called out the prosecutor for running a crooked system that allowed a Hollywood star like the smarmy Jussie Smollett to walk away from charges he created a fake hate crime. But this is Chicago, and is there anything, really, that surprises Chicago anymore?
No.
Thanks to the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, Smollett gets to walk away from 16 felony counts of a grand jury indictment. Her office dropped all charges.
Smollett blamed the alleged attack on mythical Trump supporters. According to his story, he apparently fought them off with a tuna fish sandwich in one hand and his cellphone in the other, just like real Hollywood tough guy Jason Momoa.
Or not.
But there’s more to it. There’s always more to it.
