As you have no doubt heard by now, the Jussie Smollett case took an unexpected left turn yesterday as the prosecutor stunned the world by dropped all charges.
Yes, all 16 counts – dropped.
Gone.
Bye.
Poof!
The bizarre move has angered virtually everyone, and united the left and the right under one cause: justice.
To wit, even the far-left Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, is pissed!
From TMZ:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is very strongly hinting at corruption in the State’s Attorney’s Office, calling the decision to drop the charges against Smollett a “whitewash of justice.”
The Mayor added, “From top to bottom, this is not on the level.” He called for accountability from the prosecutors.
Emanuel was joined by Chicago PD Superintendent Eddie Johnson who said he didn’t feel justice was served by letting Smollett off the hook.
What’s more, Johnson said if Jussie was, in fact, innocent … he should’ve taken his day in court, and not broker a backdoor deal in secrecy. Bigger picture — Johnson feels the City of Chicago is still owed an apology, as he believes Jussie carried out a hoax.
