The Chicago Police Department on Wednesday released the full 61-page investigative report on the alleged Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax, one day after charges against the "Empire" star were unexpectedly dropped.
Cook County prosecutors dismissed Tuesday a 16-count indictment against Smollett, saying they had cut a deal with the actor to perform two days of community service and forfeit his $10,000 bond to the city. The move made it possible for Smollett's attorneys to get his criminal case immediately sealed and wiped clean.
About an hour after the department released the files, the Chicago PD reportedly became the subject of a court order that barred them from releasing further files, even though they were widely available online.
On "Outnumbered Overtime" Wednesday, former U.S. attorney Guy Lewis said this is "open warfare" between the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.
"[This] cannot be good for the people of Chicago. Frankly, I've never seen anything like this before," Lewis said.

Get Hank Voight on the case...he’ll straighten out the Smollet character pronto!
Better Call Saul!
Whoever put together this play made huge judgement error.
Instead of quietly going away it is not a barn burner type story that has people outraged.
Another Obama screw up
Foxx is scum. CPD hates her guts.
Word was the files were released per a FOIA request from a media outlet. I think the CPD had to release the files. Fortunately, they had everything ready to go...wink...wink
The scammers forgot to pay off the Mayor and the Police Chief.
This is Chicago—how could they miss that?
Foxx better be on her ‘best’ behavior....................
[ Ex-Prosecutor: ‘Open Warfare’ Between Chicago PD and State’s Attorney on Smollett Case ]
Good. There should be. They should have gone after Jussie 100%.
Has anyone seen the files? I have not seen any reports on what is in them.
Why would Rahm Emmanuel and the Chicago Police Department be so outraged over Jussie not being prosecuted?
Outraged to the point of going public about it?
Doesn’t pass the smell test.
There has to be literally thousands of unsolved, unprosecuted murder cases in Chicago.
But they are outraged over Jussie not being prosecuted?
Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Something’s up with the Democrats and it won’t be good.
Good, about time for the cops to wise up, may it get good and bloody.
‘...unexpectedly...’
*DRINK*
Yay! A new drinking game NOT tied to a sh#tty economy! ;)
I bet there is at least a bit of overlap between those-buying-Jussies-freedom and those-who-attempted-the-coup.
CWBchicago got the files. Gay Boystown media guys. They probably got a phone call telling them to submit the request.
The cops did a good job here. Then their work was sabotaged by the politicians.
Longstanding war with Foxx and CPD. Secondcityblog covers it.
Police Union want her investigated..even before Smollett
Good deal. We keep our president. You keep your obscure gay actor. I’ll take it.
