A TWO-TIERED CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: ONE FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS AND ONE FOR THE HAVE-NOTS

'I do not believe he is innocent': Prosecutor who dropped charges against Jussie Smollett ADMITS that he thinks he is guilty but says he got off because he has no criminal background as cops and Chicago mayor slam the decision as a 'whitewash of justice'

The prosecutor who decided to drop the charges against Jussie Smollett admitted on Tuesday that he does not believe the Empire star is innocent but claimed he dropped the case because the actor has no criminal background.

First Assistant Joe Magats said he thought Smollett was guilty but that 'based on the facts and circumstances' of the case' and his 'lack of criminal background', the decision was made.

As Magats spoke out, more details of Smollett's 'deal' with prosecutors emerged. Between Saturday and Monday, he spent 16 hours performing community service at Rainbow Push, a civil rights organization in Chicago where he 'worked in bookstores, sold merchandise, stuffed envelopes, spoke to students and 'helped in the video department.'

Smollett's family has claimed that even though he forfeited $10,000 in bond money and completed community service, they did not make a deal with prosecutors. They claim he has been completely vindicated by the outcome and that it proves he was telling the truth all along.

Magats’ comments came after a furious press conference from Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson who say Smollett got off 'scot-free' because he is famous. Emanuel decried it as a 'whitewash of justice'.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Community service at Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Push … what a joke! Smollett’s treatment will go down as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice ever.

JUSSIE SMOLLETT COPS A WALK

by Bob Walsh

The Cook County State's Attorney (County Prosecutor), who had previously recused herself from the matter, jumped back in and announced early yesterday that all charges against Smollett had been dropped. She did so without giving a heads up to the Police Superintendent, who is massively pissed.

The S. A. did NOT say the case was unwinnable or unprosecutable. She did say he already paid out some sort of $10,000 penalty and done lots of good service for the community. Smollett was completely unapologetic and in fact still maintains that his original complaint and all subsequent statements on the "attack" against him were completely truthful.

The real reason, of course, is that he is a good liberal minority and hates Donald Trump.

It is of course POSSIBLE that the feds will still go after him on the mail fraud charges. If this was working from the other direction you can damn well bet the Obama justice department would do everything they could to lynch a white man who falsified a hate crime against blacks.

I wonder if this means that Fox will be pressured to give him his job back on Empire? Maybe a raise and some reparations? Maybe a free MAGA hat.
