Has everybody had a good time tonight? Obama asked the audience at a 2016 White House event. Jussie Smollett!
Smollett smiled and clapped, beaming with excitement. Who wouldnt be beaming after performing for the president and the first lady?
It was obvious that he was having good time. Clearly, he was becoming somebody. A real Hollywood somebody, star of the TV show Empire with important connections.
Smollett became such a somebody that Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxxs office inexplicably cut him loose from criminal charges, dropping 16 grand jury counts against him for allegedly fabricating a racial hate crime and blaming it all on supporters of President Donald Trump.
Well, its almost inexplicable. Foxx did admit she had inappropriate contact with the Smollett family and with Tina Tchen, a top lawyer and former chief of staff for Michelle Obama.
Foxx said she recused herself from the case because of the questionable contacts. But in reality, she hadnt.
And then she dropped the whole thing.
Hate crime? What hate crime?
Once word got out that Foxx had her private contacts with Michelle Obamas former chief of staff and others, Foxxs office kept saying shed recused herself.
But when I asked Foxx if shed really recused herself, her office said the states attorney had meant it only in the colloquial sense.
In other words: Taxpayers sure are stupid, arent they?
All this should be before Judge Martin on Thursday.
I hope he sees the video and notices the two excited people in the front row.
One was White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. And the other?
Tina Tchen, who would later contact Kim Foxx on Smolletts behalf.
Theyre smiling.
And theyre not nobodies.

What? What "colloquial sense"? The Bar needs to look into this.
When Zero was elected President in 2008 there was a bright Freeper here that said, “Just think of all the patriots leaving DC now and all the deviants going to DC now.
True. Obama attracted all the vicious losers and made them all feel so special.
Bet Obama tapped that!
Other than big, awkward raw-boned Michelle those sure are some white looking black people.
OMG, these people are vile. There will come a point where this leftism has to be stopped.
Most certainly. Jussie is Obama’s boy-toy hence all the special help in his case.
One can only imagine what Smollett has on 0bama...
I loved seeing Obama with Hollywood-types; it removed the illusion that he had any place at the table with the people that run this country. As an ignorant token, he was always more comfortable talking about movies and basketball than deficits, taxes, and jobs (to say nothing of foreign policy).
