Chicago Mayor (Rahm) Emanuel on Jussie Smollett: ‘Is There No Decency In This Man?’
Breitbart ^ | 3-2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 03/26/2019 7:39:17 PM PDT by blam

Tuesday at a press conference, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel strongly criticized “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett in connection to filing a false police report about an alleged hate crime.

On prosecutors the dropping charges, Emanuel said, “This is a whitewash of justice. A grand jury could not have been clearer — to the cost, $10,000 doesn’t come close financially, but all the other repercussions of this decision made to me, where is the accountability in the system?”

He continued, “Mr. Smollett is still saying that he is innocent, still running down the Chicago police department. How dare him? How dare him? After everybody saw––and I want to remind you, this is not the superintendent’s word against his. The grand jury, a sliver of the evidence, and they came to a conclusion as did the state attorney’s office. This is not the superintendent and the detectives’ department word against his. And even after this whitewash, there is still no sense of ownership of what he’s done. He says that, in fact, he is the wronged in this case. This is an unbelievable not just whitewash of justice. This is a person now who has not been let off scot-free with no sense of accountability of the moral and ethical wrong of his actions from top to bottom. I cannot stress enough that in a time when you have people bringing a moral equivalency in Virginia between bigots and those fighting bigotry, when you have a person using hate crime laws that are on the books to protect people who are minorities from violence, to then turn around and use those laws to advance your career and your financial reward, is there no decency in this man?”

Talk about a charade. Anyone who believes Clintonista Emanuel calling Smollett out is only fooling themselves. Emanuel and the rest of the Chicago city council and police never had any intention to bring charges against that racebaiting loser. Another setup and coverup brought to you by Windy City Rats Incorporated!

I think you’re right. This is all about Rahm trying to appease the cops. He doesn’t care a bit about justice.

"...tried to frame others..."


Imagine if an unfortunate white guy was walking home after working the night shift and stopped at a grocery store?
And had a bottle of laundry bleach in his paper bag?
That poor sap would be in jail already with very little hope for release.

"...Rahm Emmanuel..."


Rahmbo is absolutely in it up to his armpits.
They will be high-fiving each other at leftwinger parties a few months from now.

Reminder: @JussieSmollett is still under federal investigation by FBI for sending white powder to his workplace.https://t.co/K6OYZIJdit— Captain Obvious (@CaptObvious63) March 26, 2019

Smollett isn't off the hook yet. The FBI is still investigating the letter he sent himself at work. If the FBI interviews Smollett, then he's either lying to investigators or confessing to the hoax. Either way he can still be prosecuted federally. 👌— Hategraphs (re-follow) (@purehategraphs) March 27, 2019

Yup. Just being a good soldier. With the added twist that some on the right give him a little credit for doing the right thing. We should all know better.

Another celeb buys their way out of jail. His lawyer clearly knew who to throw a few bucks to. Actually, I suspect that a few gay city officials had a little party with Smollett in return for making his case disappear.

And Smollett, being the blithering idiot that he is, holds a press conference and takes a victory lap. Anybody with the IQ of a carrot would’ve mumbled that “the system worked” on the way to a waiting black car and disappeared into the urban haze. What’s really sad is that this utter moron probably did increase his chances at getting a new job (since his old one was getting ready to dump him). He’s a walking PR nightmare but Hollywood is full of leftist idiots, I’m sure he’ll do just fine.

Speaking of GW, I’ve noticed that Mr. White-Guilt still comes around once in a while and talks amnesty because he’s getting old and he’s feeling all guilty for the years that he had a Mexican house-staff and paid them $5/day each.

No, there’s no decency in the man, just like there’s no decency in liberalism. Jussie, the no-class fag and that asshat liberal who threw the case out makes that perfectly clear.

Seems like Rahm needs to talk to his good friend Michelle O.

Blah blah blah. I feel as though this man and others believe that if they make the right noises, these noises will be taken as facts instead of the facts that this man Smollett perpetrated a fraud to benefit himself that is a hate crime. That he cost the public high six-figures in police resources. That he is only paying back $10,000 and a few hours of community service likely making matters worse.

This to me looks like nothing but crisis management to try to save political Chicago’s image.
