No one will say who.
Tell it to the FBI bitch and be careful.!!
Trump should be looking at who in the FBI was suppose to get this case to whitewash it and cover up something. That was what Foxx was suppose to do. Get it away from CPD
That settles that. Case closed.
Sounds like COLLUSION!
They are already denying it.
Of course Mooch denies this. The money has been back channeled 10 different ways. They can’t prove she did anything.
Somebody met with the prosecutors and got them to drop the charges.
No one will say who.

IPBA STATEMENT ON JUSSIE SMOLLETT CASE DISMISSAL
Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association ^ | 28 Mar 2019 2:49 PM | Lee Roupas, President, IPBA / FR Posted by FreedomPoster
The Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association serves as the voice for nearly 1,000 front line prosecutors across the State who work tirelessly towards the pursuit of justice. The events of the past few days regarding the Cook County State’s Attorney’s handling of the Jussie Smollett case is not condoned by the IPBA, nor is it representative of the honest ethical work prosecutors provide to the citizens of the State of Illinois on a daily basis.
The manner in which this case was dismissed was abnormal and unfamiliar to those who practice law in criminal courthouses across the State. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges alike do not recognize the arrangement Mr. Smollett received. Even more problematic, the State’s Attorney and her representatives have fundamentally misled the public on the law and circumstances surrounding the dismissal.
The public has the right to know the truth, and we set out to do that here.
When an elected State’s Attorney recuses herself from a prosecution, Illinois law provides that the court shall appoint a special prosecutor. See 55 ILCS 5/3-9008(a-15). Typically, the special prosecutor is a neighboring State’s Attorney, the Attorney General, or the State Appellate Prosecutor. Here, the State’s Attorney kept the case within her office and thus never actually recused herself as a matter of law.
Additionally, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office falsely informed the public that the uncontested sealing of the criminal court case was “mandatory” under Illinois law. This statement is not accurate. To the extent the case was even eligible for an immediate seal, that action was discretionary, not mandatory, and only upon the proper filing of a petition to seal. See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(g)(2). For seals not subject to Section 5.2(g)(2), the process employed in this case by the State’s Attorney effectively denied law enforcement agencies of legally required Notice (See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(d)(4)) and the legal opportunity to object to the sealing of the file (See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(d)(5)). The State’s Attorney not only declined to fight the sealing of this case in court, but then provided false information to the public regarding it.
The appearance of impropriety here is compounded by the fact that this case was not on the regularly scheduled court call, the public had no reasonable notice or opportunity to view these proceedings, and the dismissal was done abruptly at what has been called an “emergency” hearing. To date, the nature of the purported emergency has not been publicly disclosed. The sealing of a court case immediately following a hearing where there was no reasonable notice or opportunity for the public to attend is a matter of grave public concern and undermines the very foundation of our public court system.
Lastly, the State’s Attorney has claimed this arrangement is “available to all defendants” and “not a new or unusual practice.” There has even been an implication it was done in accordance with a statutory diversion program. These statements are plainly misleading and inaccurate. This action was highly unusual, not a statutory diversion program, and not in accordance with well accepted practices of State’s Attorney initiated diversionary programs. The IPBA supports diversion programs, and recognizes the many benefits they provide to the community, the defendant and to the prosecuting agency. Central to any diversion program, however, is that the defendant must accept responsibility. To be clear here, this simply was not a deferred prosecution.
Prosecutors must be held to the highest standard of legal ethics in the pursuit of justice. The actions of the Cook County State’s Attorney have fallen woefully short of this expectation. Through the repeated misleading and deceptive statements to the public on Illinois law and circumstances surrounding the Smollett dismissal, the State’s Attorney has failed in her most fundamental ethical obligations to the public. The IPBA condemns these actions.
This irregular arrangement was an affront to prosecutors across the State, the Chicago Police Department, victims of hate crimes, and the people of the City of Chicago and Cook County. We strongly encourage our members and the public to review the National District Attorneys Associations statement on prosecutorial best practices in high profile cases.

Lee Roupas President, Illinois Prosecutor’s Bar Association
We may need the Civil Rights division of the US Justice Department to have a trial to see if there are or has been any political operatives manipulating this poor innocent Black boy that got him into such trouble. Eh?
If anyone really believes that Rahm was involved in dropping the charges, they are delusional. They are wrapping a pretty little package up for us. Rahm and the police chief are acting furious, incensed which is why they have secretly choreographed this little $130,000.00 “fine”, so they can walk away looking just a little bruised but fair. (How clever that the 130,000.00 is the same amount Trump was to pay Stormy)
They need to arrange another accidental tarmac meeting.
Sounds like there was some collusion to avoid lawful prosecution...
There appears to be more than enough evidence to get a FISA Warrant and go through the last 20 years of their lives
And what other reason would she have? Enquiring minds want to know.
What work? The current generation is in show biz, in one form or another. The father is dead. That leaves ex-Black Panther mom, pals with Angela Davis and acquaintance of Kamala Harris.
Again, what work.
Tina Tchen was to be the sacrificial lamb?
Well ok then.
No one who ever worked for Obama lies.
Hannity should send over all his Patriotic Front Line FBI people that he’s always going on about.
