Full title: Top Chicago Cop Slams Prosecutors For Dropping Charges Against Smollett ‘They Brokered a Deal in Secret to Circumvent Judicial System’
Crooked Chicago prosecutors dropped the charges against hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett on Tuesday.
Chicago police are furious over state’s attorney Kim Foxx’s decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett.
Smollett reached a deferred prosecution deal and the judge sealed his case!
Even worse, Jussie Smollett and his lawyer are sticking to the BIG LIE that Smollett was attacked by racist white Trump supporters.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel held a presser Tuesday afternoon to address the shocking news that prosecutors dropped charges against Smollett without discussing it with the police department.

The investigation was getting too close to kamala so her friends made it disappear.
Feds should charge JS with a hate crime hoax against MAGA voters.
“Whadt? I don’t see nuthin wrong!”
Rahm learned at the knee of Bill Clinton. Well, he did always wish to be there. Maybe he learned at the Cankle.
Never thought I’d ever agree with anything Rahm Emanuel said.
Their outrage is not genuine. And in the Fox News article I read, it was Mooch’s chief of staff who came a calling.
Why not bring Federal charges?
Trump may be the only speed bump on the highway to Shithole.
Yes, this is sickening and affects the respect for justice everywhere. Maybe the prosecutors can be charged, then charges be reopened against Smollet because of they were wrongly dismissed. Best too if the feds pursue mail fraud and other federal charges.
The outrage from the cops certainly is.
Probably Smollett's hoax would have died a slow death but the imbecile insisted "he wanted to tell his story on TV."
Smollett's victimized personna fought like blazes to get a TV interview. ABC's GMA obliged him. Smollett's lies were
picture-perfect. He was a fighting-mad "victim" as he lied to an unblinking true believer Robin Roberts on ABC's GMA.
Smollett reinvented himself as an especially fierce kind of "victim," a cool hero. “I fought the f**k back,” he told believer Roberts.
And, miracle of miracles, while Smollett was fighting off hate-filled attackers, he never once lost control of his Subway tuna sandwich.
====================================
THE BLOWBACK MUSTA BEEN INTENSE--EARLY ON, ABC BROUGHT OUT THE BIG GUNS.
Roberts swallowed Smollett's story hook, line, and sinker, and roiled ABC's PTB.
As Smollett Story Unravels, ABC Defends Robin Roberts' Softball Interview on GMA
By Kristine Marsh, newsbusters.org | February 18, 2019
ABC’s Good Morning America team went into full damage control mode Monday, after news broke over the weekend that actor Jussie Smollett had allegedly paid two men to stage his assault. Just last Thursday, anchor Robin Roberts had given the actor a softball interview, even refusing to call his story of a Trump supporter assaulting him, “alleged.” Leading into the report, Roberts finally did call the quickly unraveling story “alleged:”
"A new twist in the Jussie Smollett case. The actor firing back this morning as the story of his alleged attack faces questions. Police in Chicago say they're working to corroborate allegations that Smollett paid two men to stage the assault," she stated. In reporter Eva Pilgrim’s report, she tried to save face for ABC, stressing that police had said Smollett was “cooperating fully” with the investigation up until this point. Pilgrim did not mention that the Chicago Police Department also said Smollett would only give partial, redacted phone records to them.
Roberts followed up by defending her interview with the actor, as appropriate given the knowledge they had at the time: This case is ever evolving. Head-spinning. Changing. When I sat down with Jussie, it was Tuesday night in Chicago. At the time to give his first account publicly give his first account of what he said happened. And we have to remember, at that time, on Tuesday, police officers were saying that his account was consistent. It was credible. And that he was being cooperative. This was all before the interview aired on Thursday and then we found out about the brothers. Afterwards, the ABC team brought on the network’s legal analyst, Dan Abrams, to help do more damage control, spinning Roberts’ interview as more even-handed than it was by hyping the few times she had gingerly brought up skeptics of his story:
[I] have to say, Robin, even in the interview you did, you were talking about the skeptics. You were talking about the people who questioned his account. So, it's not new this idea that there are questions about what happened. What's new is that the police now seem to be making it clear that they believe the brothers and have, at the very least, serious questions about Jussie.
To end their segment, ABC hammered home how they weren’t responsible for how much airtime his problematic story got to begin with. GMA’sweekend anchor Dan Harris worried that just Smollett, not their network or the media as a whole, had caused damage for actual victims of hate crimes. Dan Abrams agreed, even admitting that the media “wanted” to believe Smollett’s account.
Again, the ABC team wouldn’t acknowledge the media’s role in spreading his dubious account:
DAN HARRIS: If Smollett made this up, what kind of impact does this have on other people that come forward to tell stories that are true about assault?
ABRAMS: I think that is the real impact here. I think this would have a big impact on the country. Which is, you want to believe someone. I mean, you're talking about an allegation of homophobia, racism, politics, all of it in one allegation. If it turns out that this well-known person just made this up, it's going to, I think, lead some people to have questions about coming forward. It will lead others having questions about whether they believe people's accounts. This is having a much bigger impact I think.....
"Yes. It is a very interesting turn in this case. I know people who talked to Jussie over the weekend. He insists that he had nothing to do the story. The more you hear, the more questions that are being raised. The investigation we should stress is still underway," she gushed.

Johnson is a tool of Raham & will do as told. Moochell called Kimisha & the fix was in.
Despite all charges being dropped against Empire star Jussie Smollett Tuesday, the actor reportedly still faces an FBI investigation for mail fraud.
Fox News reported on air Tuesday that the FBI is still looking into Jussie Smollett allegedly sending himself a death threat letter through the mail. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
She will be replaced by another stooge if anything. If you live in Illinois, get out.
And, this amazing duper hero did it all....in sub zero temps, without even a jacket on.
We need a national day of holding up Subway sandwiches, to honor this feat (more like feet).
FBI is headed by Democrats that run rings around Trumps appointed Director Wray.
Turn it around. If the DA where white and the perp were white and the fake hate crime had targeted a Democrat politician, the shrill screams of “Racism” would be echoing from CNN to the NY Times to the Wash Post to NBC tp See BS to ABC. . More proof of the new Democrat Fascist party tanking shape in the USA. Rules for thee but not for “woke” politicians and activists
Chicago’s mayoral race a week from today. Chicago media hasn’t asked for reaction from either of the the two black mayoral candidates.If the soda tax lady (Preckwinkle) backed Top Cop Johnson she’d make it interesting. This may have some impact on turnout if neither support law enforcement.
Letting the guy walk away without even a slap on the wrist paints a terrible image and should focus it in on judicial elections. Very likely Johnson won’t be around after the lib Lightfootsie makes it
