Crook County Clobbers Cops

“Chicago Justice” is a television show…..it is also a way to explain yesterday’s inexplicable turn of events for Jessie Smollet. You remember him. He’s the actor who claimed he got jumped by two Trump thugs on Chicago’s south side.

He told authorities he was accosted in the early morning hours of January 29^th by two guys wearing red hats shouting racist and homophobic slurs as they beat him and slipped a noose over his neck.

Chicago Police found that Smollet paid his attackers---with a personal check---staging the entire incident to get sympathy. Police spent up to six figures investigating the matter. What a waste.

Yesterday the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office dropped 16 felony counts good for 48 years in the slammer. Gone. A spokesperson said his volunteer work in Chicago and forfeiting his $10,000 bond was good enough. Smollet’s record was wiped clean.

Police were predictably livid. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called it a “whitewash of justice.” He should know…

What’s the clear message here?

I don’t think there is any doubt if Smollet had been white and conservative….he would be seeing the inside of the Illinois Department of Corrections. The States attorney threw the police department under the bus…which plays just fine with many in the Windy City.

Chicago Justice.

They don’t call it “Crook” county for nothing….
