The dismissal of all 16 charges against Smollett have a lot of people asking for answers. The state prosecutor has Chicago’s Chief of Police angry, the police officers association is angry and they are demanding to know why? Same can be said for the mayor, Rahm Emanuel. This dismissal followed by sealing the records is extremely rare. So is Smollett forfeiting his bail money of $10,000. Chicago PD can’t believe it.
What prompted such a controversial decision?
Ah, come on Jack….nothing to see here…just move along now.
Turns out you and I were completely wrong…Jussie is pure as the driven snow…Chris and Libby Smollett were right all along.
Now you and I must apologize to Jussie, Chris and Libby…you go first…
No.
Although Jussie does have the little matter of the letters he sent to himself…he might not be so lucky with the Postal Inspectors…but I’m sure Chris and Libby Smollett can convince Jack that it all was nothing.
You are illiterate.
I am? Well, at least I wasn’t stupid enough to fall for the Smollett and Russiagate hoaxes like the brain dead liberals who infest this blog.
You and Rachel Madcow ought to go on another fishing expedition.
“What prompted such a controversial decision?” Chicago politics as usual.
But I’ll wager that the Mayor and Police Chief didn’t get a slice of the pie and their a bit ticked. I’ll also wager the pie was bigger, a lot bigger than 10K.
It does sound very “political” … and the administration of the law in this country is not supposed to be that.
However, as long as we have Mr. Manafort’s sentencing hearing to compare it with … well, I don’t know what’s to be done. People can say “what’s good for the goose …” and there ain’t much of a legitimate argument to make … is there.
Why would a bail of $10k be forfeit if charges were dismissed?????? Gotta wonder whose pocket that wound up in ’cause it IS Chicago, after all . . . . . . .
OPINION-Published 3/28/2019 By Douglas MacKinnon
For those on the left who are still confused as to why tens of millions of Americans voted for Donald J. Trump, look no further than the Jussie Smollett case.
There is nothing more powerful in our nation than Liberal Privilege. Nothing.
Being far-left, liberal, or a Democrat, means you never have to apologize for anything. You never have to admit you were wrong. You never have to be accountable. Ever.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, MICHELLE OBAMA ARE CONNECTING WITH MILLIONS OF AMERICANS – HERE’S THE REAL REASON WHY
Jussie Smollett was indicted by a grand jury on 16 felony counts related to staging an alleged hate-crime hoax – hoaxes being increasingly in vogue with the far-left – and then prosecutors shocked the nation by dropping all charges.
Why?, Well…everyone knows why.
Lift up a few flat rocks, observe the political sleaze oozing about underneath, and there is your answer.
It is not only the “Chicago Way,” but the liberal way, and the political way. A get-out-of-jail-free card slapped down on tables for decades by the elites, the special interests, and most especially, the privileged liberals.
By far, the biggest laugh in this latest miscarriage of justice was provided by Rahm Emanuel – the far-left liberal Democratic Mayor of Chicago — protesting the dropping of all charges against Smollett.
“This is a whitewash of justice,” Emanuel declared. “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 deserves an Academy Award for getting that line out with a straight face. He has benefited his entire political career from “no accountability.” He and those he has worked for in the past have operated under the Liberal Privilege set of rules only because of their “positions.”
Emanuel and the rest of the “let them eat cake” political-liberal class have never had to bother with “another set of rules,” which apply to the unwashed masses.
For the most part, Liberal Privilege exists because over the course of the last five decades or so, the three major megaphones of our nation – the media, entertainment, and academia – were ceded to the liberal and far-left class.
Once that happened, “no accountability” became the coin of the liberal realm.
The liberal governor and liberal attorney general of Virginia were potentially caught wearing blackface. No accountability. The liberal lieutenant governor of Virginia accused of sexual assaults. No accountability.
Those who control those three major-megaphones deciding ignorance and no coverage were bliss for their liberal and political interests.
Worse than that, because the far-left did take over most of the media, entertainment, and academia only by means of brutal, illegal, and continual discrimination, they decided that monetary awards should be in order for those in strategically important positions who joined the “resistance” against a pragmatic and commonsense America or most especially against the hated President Trump.
Hillary Clinton, former FBI director James Comey, and Andrew McCabe, the fired deputy director of the FBI, are not only not held accountable for their despicable actions and even alleged crimes, but are rewarded by the left with multi-million dollar book contracts and massive speaking fees.
Welcome to the “Don’t you wish you were us?” world of Liberal Privilege.
It is entirely because of that decades-long privilege and continuing no accountability that millions of Americans from every single demographic screamed “enough is enough” and voted for Donald Trump in 2016.
Much like the plot of the movie “High Noon,” Americans grew tired of dealing with this never-ending corruption on their own and elected a new sheriff not owned and operated by either political party.
President Trump is trying to drain the swamp, but he is still one man fighting the massive and unchecked power of Liberal Privilege.
A power and a privilege doing irreparable harm to our nation. End of Story line.
Douglas MacKinnon is a former White House and Pentagon official and work’s for FOX news.
Did I say FOX news, oh oh that should discredit his entire opinion in the world of liberalism.
However, on the reality side of things, he has a valid point!
“There is nothing more powerful in our nation than Liberal Privilege. Nothing.”
Except Republican Privilege … how else does a “recommended a prison term of 19 to 24 years” get knocked down to four?
You clowns haven’t got an argumentative leg to stand on, so give it up.
And this, is hysterical …
“President Trump is trying to drain the swamp, but he is still one man fighting the massive and unchecked power of Liberal Privilege.”
Considering that it is only The Donald’s claim to Executive Privilege that save him from indictment … until he leaves office, of course.
The audacity of writing or sharing this after the Barr summary of the Mueller report is just astounding.
Liberal Jimmy Dore gets it, his guest here gets it. Why don’t you get it?

Another liberal gets it.
http://www.unz.com/video/therealnews_deep-faith-in-the-deep-state-gives-dems-a-set-back/
If you had just two brain cells to rub together you’d be furious with the liberal media including Rachel Madcow and the Demorats and Hillary and Obama and their crew and all they and the Deep State did because they just guaranteed Trump 4 more years. But you are too blinded by your bias to have the slightest clue.
Jack, I don’t see the problem. To quote our president, wasn’t Jussie Smollet “totally exonerated?”
See Jack? Well, maybe not see, Jack…as I was saying….nothing to see here…just move along now…and it must be so because Chris doesn’t see the problem. And after all, Chris knows everything.
Imagine being as bad at understanding sarcasm as Joe.

Another Democrat finds out the Mueller investigation is over.
