The Chicago Way: Chicago Prosecutors Make a Secret, Sealed Deal That Allows Liberal Hate Crime Hoaxer Jussie Smollett to Simply Walk Free

Jussie Smollett claimed he was attacked by two men who struck him, hurled slurs at him and, in a nod to President Donald Trump, shouted, “This is MAGA country!” Later, Chicago police and prosecutors detailed plentiful evidence and told America it was all a hoax perpetrated by Smollett, an actor on the Chicago-filmed show “Empire,” to further his career.

The message that Chicago DA’s office sent stunned the nation yesterday. They agreed that Liberal actor Jussie Smollett was guilty of what he was charged with, and then announced that he would not be charged for hate crime hoax that attempted to portray Trump supporters as violent, homophobic racists. Smollett paid them $10,000, charges were dropped, then the details of the case sealed. It is really no different  than when Al Capone used his privilege and  was allowed to walk free for his various crimes back in the 1920’s.

In typical Liberal elitist fashion, after Jussie Smollett struck his crooked deal, he then rubbed in your face by making this statement to the press.

“I want you to know that not for a moment was it in vain. I have been truthful and consistent on every level since day one. I would not be my mother’s son if I was capable of one drop of what I’m accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult time. Honestly one of the worst of my entire life. But I am a man of faith and I am a man that has knowledge of my history and I would not bring my family, our lives or the movement through a fire like this, I just wouldn’t. Read Full Statement

Shame on you, Chicago, for this travesty of justice. And thank you for reminding the nation why your city continues to deserve the reputation that it enjoys for corruption and partisan politics. This is what Obama and his minions used to refer to as ‘The Chicago Way‘, and it is evil.

Indefensible: With no good explanation, prosecutors give Jussie Smollett a pass

FROM CHICAGO TRIBUNE: It began as an alleged hate crime committed against TV actor Jussie Smollett on a downtown Chicago street at 2 a.m. It then careened into charges that Smollett staged the attack to benefit his career. And now this:

After State’s Attorney Kim Foxx makes errors of judgment that lead her to recuse herself, after Chicago detectives expend thousands of man hours doing meticulous work, after police Superintendent Eddie Johnson excoriates Smollett publicly for dragging the city’s name through the mud, after Foxx’s prosecutors take the case before a grand jury, after the grand jurors indict Smollett on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct … after all that, Cook County prosecutors shock Chicagoans and the rest of the country on Tuesday with news that they’re dropping all charges against Smollett.

That is, Foxx’s office essentially says: Never mind. No big deal. Move along.

It’s an indefensible decision, a deal hashed out in secret, with — this is outrageous — Smollett not even required to take ownership of his apparent hoax. Not even required to apologize for allegedly exploiting hate crime laws. And not even required to reimburse Chicago taxpayers for the enormous cost of this investigation.

“This is a whitewash of justice,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel told reporters, with Johnson at his side. “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.”

Emanuel spoke for Chicago: Accountability, or lack of it, is at the heart of Tuesday’s stunner. Smollett walks, merely forfeiting the $10,000 cash bond he had posted. Emanuel says that essentially means the forfeiture was a fine — $10,000 in exchange for an expungement. And to make matters even more opaque, Cook County Judge Steven Watkins orders the public court file sealed.

The events are familiar, starting with the January morning at the center of the case. Smollett claimed he was attacked by two men who struck him, hurled slurs at him and, in a nod to President Donald Trump, shouted, “This is MAGA country!” Later, Chicago police and prosecutors detailed plentiful evidence and told America it was all a hoax perpetrated by Smollett, an actor on the Chicago-filmed show “Empire,” to further his career.

But don’t forget what happened between Smollett’s report and his indictment: The Police Department of a violent city with a low homicide clearance rate devoted tremendous resources to unraveling a hate crime that never occurred.

Instead, prosecutors Tuesday issued this statement: “After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case.”

First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats, who took charge of the case after Foxx’s recusal, denied that dropping the charges signaled weak evidence or a desire for secrecy. “It’s a mistake and it’s wrong to read into the decision that there was something wrong or that we learned something about the case that we didn’t already know,” Magats told the Tribune.

So what’s the real story here? If prosecutors advanced a solid case this far, why not forge ahead and declare that there’s a price to pay for wasting police resources in a city with so much gun violence? From Tuesday’s Tribune: “A young mother was shot and killed, her husband was critically wounded and their 1-year-old baby took a bullet to the knee in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side.” How did Jussie Smollett’s partial redeployment of Chicago’s detective force contribute to solving the host of such crimes that occur here relentlessly?

Unless there’s yet one more big revelation in this case that makes the prosecutors’ decision sensible, it will further erode citizens’ trust in law enforcement.

State’s Attorney Foxx, you recused yourself, but your office dropped the case. You owe Chicagoans answers. Starting with: When did you first learn of this indefensible deal? Why was it cut in secret? Why doesn’t Jussie Smollett have to own what he was accused of doing? Because like it or not, Ms. Foxx, you own this. READ MORE
