CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Jussie Smollett's legal team is demanding an apology on the actor's behalf from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson for "for dragging an innocent man's character through the mud."
"It is the Mayor and the Police Chief who owe Jussie - owe him an apology - for dragging an innocent man's character through the mud. Jussie has paid enough," the statement said.
Considering he's already admitted to using illegal drugs, he better get the hell out of Chicago. CPD will be trailing his ass, even on their own time. He's using a water hose on a yellow jacket nest in the middle of a 100 degree day.aggiehawg said:LINKQuote:

WTF is that supposed to mean? This entire hoax was the result of a black man attempting to broad brush an entire race of people (whites) and the fact that he layered in the "MAGA" aspect to it means to me that it was clear he wanted everyone to know it was white Trump supporters that did this. So the President has every right to wade into this if he wants to.Quote:
In an interview on Thursday, Emanuel - who is furious about the Smollett outcome - said he did not want the president's interference because of his past remarks on race relations.
This is just more evidence to me that powerful people are into this up to their necks backing this thing up. You don't get this brash and cocky if you just got your client off when they had him dead to rights and your client supposedly "just wants to go back to his normal life". Jussie is damn lucky he got off like he did. Continuing to troll the CPD, the mayor, and the public is not a good way to get this to die.aggiehawg said:LINKQuote:

Jussie is not even as big as was Gary Coleman or the guy who played Erkel and, by himself, simply not worth this kind of heat.
So what is it that must be protected that is worth this kind of heat?

I'm still convinced that he was corresponding extensively with Team Kamala, and if his phone records come out showing he staged this so she could trot out her lynching bill and talk about hate crimes in this country so she'd have some political achievement to point at as part of campaign, she'd get destroyed for it.

This whole scenario turned out to be a proxy battle between Clinton and Obama. It's like an old Chicago gang turf battle.
Obama's cronies out Chicagoed Clinton's cronies to prove they are the untouchables now.
Exactly, it's not like this is Jay Z or Lebron or some other high profile liberal "untouchable". This is some guy none of us had even heard of until recently. Obviously he had a selfish interest in this, but there is another element to it...along the lines of someone high up being in on it or privy to it to some degree. Just the way they are burying this and refusing to follow any semblance of standard legal protocol is damning.Squadron7 said:GCP12 said:

Oh, they're definitely in on it. But it's to advance their cause, not because he has anything on them (other than their role in the fraud and cover up).Boo Weekley said:Exactly, it's not like this is Jay Z or Lebron or some other high profile liberal "untouchable".

I can imagine a lot of things...but I can't imagine a former prosecutor leaving such a paper trail.
It is my personal belief that Smollett cooked this imbecilic fake attack up on his own and that it wasn't engineered by higher-ups. For two reasons:
1) It wouldn't have been so mind-bendingly poorly conceived and executed.
2) Had it been engineered by higher-ups...but then botched so badly in the execution...people big enough to swoop in and basically take over Law Enforcement and the DA's office in Cook County for this case would have done so much earlier on. What happened yesterday was about the noisiest thing ever.
No, I think Jussie's little pea-brain cooked this up....they were all pulling for him and for it to be true...were pissed when he turned out to be a lying little crap-weasel and were content to let him take the hit for it.
And then....very late in the game....somebody big played a card out of sheer necessity.
That makes sense except I think you may be giving the "higher-ups" more credit than they deserve. KH doesn't really have that many connections in Chicago. Kim Foxx is still pretty much a rookie politician. My guess is Foxx got cold feet after CPD got serious about prosecuting Jussie and Harris had to call in favors from the Obamas to make this thing go away.Squadron7 said:AG 2000' said:Squadron7 said:GCP12 said:

Yep, stinks like sh**. Such an overly corrupt in-your-face move. My only other theory, which makes no sense is the "fine, if we're gonna just let Trump skate with no charges...F it, let's let Jussie go, it's only fair". Liberals are so BSC there are prob a lot of possibilities.Squadron7 said:Boo Weekley said:

That I don't know. I just can't figure out why...only now at this late hour...and in the noisiest, stinkiest, most obviously corrupt way...they decided this complete nobody needed to skate.
But it's the race angle, not that Smollett is a nobody. He's a black man, so he's going to get off to show "whitey" what it feels like. And nobody will do anything about it.Boo Weekley said:Yep, stinks like sh**. Such an overly corrupt in-your-face move.

If the idiot, Smollett, wasn't still wearing the "noose" when the police showed up 45 minutes later, he might have had a tad more credibility. Everyone has seen the color of the skin of the higher ups in CPD. I would wager they looked at that and thought,"What kind of a Black man willingly wears a noose for that long? Come on, man!"Squadron7 said:
I think the chances of Jussie concocting this hoax and then using his New! Black! Gay! Victim! Status! to get closer to Harris on the ground floor of a Presidential run are better than Harris concocting it and casting Jussie in the role.

I hope we see Jussie costumes for Halloween. I'm sure there are 3 black dudes somewhere ready...
1) bleach stained clothes
2) noose
3) racist crayon drawing in one hand
4) subway sandwich in other hand
5) Rollin with 2 Nigerians in ski masks and red hats
