Smollett, of course, was acquitted yesterday for clearly corrupt reasons.
Jussie Smollett bombshell pits Obama chiefs of staff against one another[Chciago mayor Rahm] Emanuel is now considering suing the actor [Smollett] to recoup some of the money the city wasted on its investigation. The Chicago mayor says he wants to recoup close to $150,000 in funds that were spent on the Smollett case, after all charges against the “Empire” actor were dropped following 16 hours of community service and an agreement to forfeit his $10,000 bond.
Meanwhile, the former first lady’s {Michelle Obama's] chief of staff[Tina Tchen] has been quietly advocating for the troubled actor behind the scenes.
According to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, Tchen reached out to Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx just days after Smollett reported the alleged attack.
“I wanted to give you a call on behalf of Jussie Smollett and family who I know. They have concerns about the investigation,” Tchen wrote in a text message to Foxx. The Chicago lawyer also gave Foxx’s number to a relative of Smollett’s who was concerned about the Chicago police’s handling of the investigation, and hoped to have the case handed over to the FBI.
Foxx – who later recused herself from Smollett’s case due to her contact with the family – took the concerns to Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
“They had no doubt about the quality of the investigation, but believed that the FBI would have a tighter lid on the information,” Foxx told the Sun-Times, adding that Johnson was originally receptive to the idea.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, however, said that while the FBI was involved in the investigation from the start, Chicago police never considered handing the case over to federal investigators.

And even mayor Rahm Emmanuel and the Chigago police are furious about the release of Smollett with charges dropped. As I understand it, there were 18 murders in Chicago that Smollet's choreographed "racial attack" distracted resources from, and even his forfeighting his $10,000 bail to the city doesn't comensate even 10% of the $150,000 cost of investigating his publicity stunt fake crime. Smollett didn't even apologize, and despite overwhelming evidence against him, is still fronting the blatantly false narrative that he was the victim of a racial attack!
The guy is completely shameless, and in that, is the perfect grievance-industry social justice warrior of the Democrat/Left.
Meanwhile Nicholas Sandman is getting death threats in Kentucky for just respectfully smiling when a Native American polital agitator beat a drum in his face while black radicals hurled racial epitethets and insults at him and his friends as they left a March For Life rally.
Yeah, that's fair...
