Oh, well that explains that then.

It's quite incredible that this nonsense is out in the public domain being given consideration.

It really is Bizzaro world.

Two Nigerians decide they hate black people so much they dress in whiteface, go out in Chicago during sub zero temperatures armed with a noose and some bleach, attack the first person they see who just so happens to be an actor who had spoken to them on the phone a few minutes before? Sounds perfectly plausible to me.

The Mayor of Chicago is sending that Pratt Smollett a $130,000 bill to cover the costs of the wasted Police resources. Quality

Appreciate USA system is different to ours, but if the state wantst he 130k why didn't they make it part of the deal.

It seems the Mayor should be directing his anger at the state.

I think it’s more symbolic than anything else. But either way, Smollett is a sniveling lying little st of a man who deserves everything that’s coming his way.

As it stands, this appears to be a case of celebrity special treatment by the Attorney General (who has personal links to Smollett), and I sincerely hope this whole palava takes her down too. She’s been a disaster for law enforcement in Chicago with her ridiculously lenient approach to punishment.

Word is Michelle Obama calls her pal Tina Tchen, who is friends with the DA Foxx, who kills the case.

Foxx is an absolute fool to think she would get away with this. Her texts with her pal are already released, with a strong smell of fish about them. All it needs now is Michelle Obama to get fingered and there will be three corrupt racists in jail, and hopefully a 4th (Smollett) too.

This needs a full inquiry, it seems there actually might be something to investigate other than chasing political shadows and I understand a very thorough guy called Muller is available now. I'd love to see Michelle Obama end up doing time for this, that would be hilarious!

[Stigproducts]

Foxx now claims she "accidentally" sealed the files, whoops! She also didn't actually recuse herself, she just said she did. Kind of mistakes any of us could make; like tripping on the stairs.

Don't forget though, Jussie Smollett is innocent, he never did anything wrong and never lied. We know this is true because he said so, continues to say so, and no one could possibly doubt him because if they do they are a racist or a cop who worked on the investigation, or both.

Looks the Obamas put some political pressure on, I guess a bigger question is why?. Michelle Obama supposedly has political ambitions, how does getting an idiotic B list celebrity off help?

So far there seems to be no actual evidence connecting the obamas to this, just some republicans pointing out the link between the DA and Michelle Obama, and the fact that Smollett has done some events with the Obamas.

This narrative also conveniently ignores the fact that the mayor who is heavily anti-smollett in this case was president obamas chief of staff for a period during his first term.

There’s something unsavoury going on though. That’s a fact. The evidence is there for all to see and the case is shutdown.

Oh I don’t deny that-but the OMG Obama narrative being pushed simply hasn’t been backed up by anything (as far as I’m aware)

It does look like the is typically American politics with regards to Michelle Obama link. No direct evidence just guilt by association nonsense.
Both sides do it, doesn't make it right.

She would have used a go between and a case full of benjamins, like the other guy

Peas in a pod then

Circle jerk this way.

They have all been made to look like complete and utter fools on there. "The Russians did it, Trump collusion" now all they are left with is "orange man bad, he's racist"

Lets not drag that into here, even if it's only Barr saying he's innocent
However, it's perfectly acceptable to comment on trumps involvement in this case, the same as if someone else in power got involved.

It's absolutely the right call. Investigate WTF happened.

My guess is that any investigation will end up with the local police force ending up looking very bad. Violation of rights or some sort of police foul play.

The circle jerk, Trump hating thread is here. Let's not spoil this thread with Trump derangement syndrome.

This thread is much better than that one, wild baseless accusations that the Clintons or Obamas are involved, no derangement here at all

It's on public record that the Obama's aide interfered with this case. So not sure where you are getting "wild baseless accusations" from

I’d doubt it, this is getting faaaar more attention that the above scenario (BAU for US police) ever would.
