There was plenty of evidence; Smollett was cooked, but he did this in Cook County with a crooked prosecutor so he got his get out of jail free card. Some people, like the first OJ trial are so stupid that they buy whatever the left tells them to think- in this case - that there was insufficient evidence.
There’s also proof that he mailed some hazardous materials to himself and blamed it on the white guys. And there’s also the proof of purchasing the supplies. The people who he hired also admitted it.
The feds need to take a look see on this one. Or who knows a miracle may happen and Rahm Emmanuel will clean house, he says he’s pissed.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel strongly condemned the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett, calling it a “whitewash of justice.”
“This is a whitewash of justice,” Emanuel said Tuesday afternoon during a fiery press conference alongside Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson. “A grand jury could not have been clearer.”
Emanuel also condemned the justice system at large, saying the decision “sends a clear message that if you’re in a position of influence and power you’ll get treated one way, other people will get treated another way. There is no accountability, then, in the system. It is wrong. Full stop.”
He ended by going after Smollett again, saying that his comments earlier on Tuesday prove he “still no sense of ownership of what he’s done. This a person, now, who has been let off scot-free, with no sense of accountability of the moral and ethical wrong of his actions.”
The Chicago PD is pissed as well, seeing as how the little shit is still running around claiming he was innocent and they railroaded him.
Will you scared Americans finally admit that you have a real ■■■■■■ problem on your hands?
I agree with his concerns. If they had evidence to convict, they should have convicted him. Period.
If they had evidence and didn’t (which could be the case) then this sends the wrong message on many levels.
Yeah, there is also talk about suing the City. This jackwagon does not know when to let it drop. He’s damn lucky his Obama connections got his ass out of trouble.
He needs to pay for this. Money and connections should not make you immune to paying the consequences for our actions. I really have a problem with allowing that to happen, no matter the situation.
the two men– Ola and Abel Osundairo , sources said. Also Tuesday, sources said the two brothers were seen on a ride share video camera before being dropped off near the location of the attack.
Smollett received a letter containing a white powder Jan. 22. The letter was mailed to Chicago’s Cinespace Studios, where the show “Empire” is filmed. The letter prompted a HAZMAT response. CPD says the “white substance” was later determined to be aspirin.
Federal charges should be next .
You must have mistaken us for the Brits !!!
2 swings and 2 misses…
First link… the woman admitted that she provided false statements about rape. Jussie maintained he was innocent this entire time.
Second link… that person provided false documents to the US attorneys office. Jussie didn’t provide false documents to an US attorneys office.
No doubt, Conan.
The democrats are really showing the dirty side of their underbelly to the American people since the election of Trump. You’d think someone would get a hold of them and shake them silly, but they are so drunk on their own power they can’t see the forest for the trees.
This could literally be good cop bad cop shit.
Did you check the latest IRS codes? There may be a deduction in there somewhere
That is exactly what it looks like to me as well. Political pressure, favors exchanged and a slap on the hand for Jussie.
If Jussie thinks for one moment anyone with an IQ under 98.5 buys this he is sadly mistaken.
Don’t hold your breath.
If this guy had successfully gotten away with his plan, you’d have hordes of protestors chanting for dead whites, conservatives losing theirs jobs left and right for raising suspicion, an overall increased sense of hostility, I could go on.
This lowlife ■■■■■■ deserves time…or worse.
That’s the problem with this entire thing. Everyone knows that. All of America knows that. They’re baiting for someone to commit an actual assault against him.
Just wait until it comes out that Kamala Harris is actually his aunt and then notice the timing of his hoax attack and her anti-lynching bill. Even then…it’s just good old fashioned corruption. Doubt anyone will do anything about it.
Not enough evidence. The 2 people he paid to beat him gave testimony, 2 ye witnesses and it’s not enough evidence.
How pathetic.
I know you’re not familiar with the constitution.
A visibly angry Mayor Rahm Emanuel joined Chicago police officers in unloading after the shocking decision to drop charges against Jussie Smollett, who had been indicted for perpetuating a hoax hate crime to advance his acting career, diverting significant police resources.
“This is a whitewash of justice and sends a clear message that if you’re in a position of influence and power you’ll be treated one way, other people will be treated another way," Emanuel said in a press conference following the surprising decision by the Cook County state attorney general’s office to drop charges. "There is no accountability then in the system. It is wrong — full stop.”
Emanuel pulled no punches, even hinting at corruption in the decision, something my colleague Tiana Lowe highlighted earlier. “From top to bottom, this is not on the level," he said.
He was also joined by Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who last month seethed as he described the investigation against Smollett’s “publicity stunt” that slapped the city in the face.
