Smollett may still face new legal trouble; Obama connections suspected in dropping of hoax charges

SMOLLETT MAY NOT BE IN THE CLEAR YET: Despite the hate crime hoax charges against him being dropped Tuesday, “Empire” star Jussie Smollett still may face new legal trouble ... An investigation into a death-threat letter the actor supposedly received prior to an alleged Jan. 29 attack against him has been handed over to the FBI, Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. Cook County, Ill. First Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Magats told reporters that prosecutors dropped the case because Smollett forfeited a $10,000 bond payment and did community service.

The decision to drop charges against Smollett stunned and outraged Chicago police and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who called the series of events "not on the level" and a "whitewash of justice." Some critics have wondered whether Smollett's high-powered connections led to the dropping of charges. Messages exchanged between Tina Tchen, an attorney and former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, and Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx are attracting increasing scrutiny.

Can't Rahm give Hussein a call? They are BFFs.

Well it time for another beer summit. A keg of Colt 45 malt liquor should do the trick

I think Crook County is fixing to find out the hard way that the cover up is worse than the crime.

I sure wasn’t aware that EX-presidents retained the power of the pardon, but I guess they do.

Barack probably licked his eyebrows in front of that prosecutor, she melted, and did a “yes master” and dropped the charges.

After all, if obama had a son, he’s “look like Jussie”.

One of Smollett’s sisters also helped Obama to pass Obamacare.

This whole thing sound like an obamma plot to divide America.
I can see his fingerprints all over this farce.
Had it succeeded there would have been riots in every city with more than three blacks living in it.
But these fools got on the wrong side of the camera.

Why were charges dropped?
To protect the magic negro, obammy.

It is Chicago. Do you really think the people in Chicago and the state of IL really care?

I don’t. I think what happened with Smollett yesterday is exactly what the people in Chicago and IL want.

Chicago PD elephant’s memory. Combine that with a sick unstable paranoid individual who knows we know he’s guilty.

Why does anyone think WHY it took Muller two years to find no collusion with Russia on President Tump? Working around Obama and his inner circle must have been maddening all the while knowing what Hillary did before and as Secretary of State for Obama and on Obama’s watch, what a nightmare.
