What Just Happened?

It's Chicago, baby!
Yesterday, prosecutors inexplicably dropped all the charges against suspected hate crime hoaxster Jussie Smollett. Earlier this year, Smollett claimed that as he was walking to get Subway at 2 a.m. on one of the coldest days of the year in one of the coldest cities in the country, he was assaulted by Trumpsters who shouted anti-gay Trumpy things at him, sprayed liquid on him and put some sort of noose around his neck. People went bananas as they do when there might be a Trumpy crime. Everyone knows that racist Trumpers skulk around in sub-zero temperatures with nooses and noxious liquids in case they come face-to-face with a viable hate crime target. Plausible. Two men who worked with Smollett and were his trainers came forward and admitted that Smollett had paid them to beat him up. There is video of these gentlemen buying the material used in the "crime." A grand jury indicted Smollett on numerous felony counts. And then it all went bye-bye, down the memory hole.
Evidently, some Obama acolytes got involved and the case went away.  Everybody is pissed, everybody except Smollett.  This has the potential to turn into one helluva mess.

Some shenanigans with Smollet's family and the district attourney is the way I heard it. And a judge sealing the records so quickly. Wow, Chi Town hasn't lost it have they.

Quite a distraction from the Mueller decision and fallout, almost as if this kerfuffle is on purpose.

Chiraq... Nothing changes. Money changes hands, charges go away.

It gets worse:
Kim Foxx’s office didn’t merely drop all the charges against Smollett, not long after Foxx began playing “Obama Celebrity Friends” with former first lady Michelle Obama’s onetime chief of staff. Foxx’s office dropped the charges, yes. But also as part of the deal, he will be wiped clean. His lawyers want his record expunged. That could happen as soon as today. The stain of the 16 counts in the indictment will be scrubbed right off him. You might say Foxx is bathing him in the waters of the Chicago Way, cleansing him, and making a new man out of him. And now he’s smirking at the city, the mayor, the cops, everyone.
