One year on, the Jussie Circus returns to Chicago (but prosecutors *still* haven’t given anyone else his special deal)

CWB Chicago:
February 23, 2020-

Eleven months after Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett in a secret court hearing, the Hollywood circus today returns to Chicago.  Smollett is scheduled to surrender himself to authorities sometime today so he can face six new counts of filing a false police report.

And, despite claims by Cook County’s top prosecutors, CWBChicago still hasn’t found a single criminal defendant who got the same preferential treatment he received. Neither has the former U.S. attorney who’s investigating the Smollett matter.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb, leading a court-ordered probe of Smollett’s case and how it was handled by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, received the new charges from a grand jury earlier this month.

Hours after the new charges went public, Webb’s office released a letter about his ongoing investigation. The letter said the state’s attorney’s office, led by Kim Foxx, could not provide any documentation to back up its repeated claims that Smollett’s deal is available to “all defendants.” MORE

  1. And his attorney is claiming double jeopardy because he forfeited his bail? I think the double jeopardy clause says “shall not be TRIED twice for the same crime”. Nice try, though.

  2. Hate crimes are only prosecuted against whites.
    Self set-up hate crimes by blacks blaming whites will be forever overruled by the Obama Doctrine.
    It’s there in the small print … in Chicago only.
