Powerful forces conspire to get Jussie Smollett off the hook for hate crime hoax (Video)

RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran’s Alex Christoforou take a look at the shocking decision by prosecutors in Chicago to drop the Jussie Smollett case.

Smollett pled guilty to nothing, his record was expunged, no written records of the deal were filed with the court, and all existing records of the crime were sealed. Smollett exhibited no remorse or humility, as the Empire actor was not willing to admit he fabricated the attack, telling reporters, “I have been truthful and consistent from day one.”

Michelle Obama’s former chief, Tina Tchen, contacted the state’s attorney, Kim Foxx, who would hand off the case to her assistant, and the assistant would later give Smollett the deal of the century. Chicago mayor and former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel blasted the obvious corruption at play, and called the entire spectacle a complete “whitewash of justice.”

Powerful Forces Conspire To Get Jussie Smollett Off The Hook For Hate Crime Hoax by The Duran

The Duran Quick Take: Episode 120. RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran’s Alex Christoforou take a look at the shocking decision by prosecutors in Chicago to drop the Jussie Smollett case.

President Trump says the FBI and Justice Department will investigate the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of 16 felony charges against Empire star Jussie Smollett, who Chicago PD accused of staging his own hate crime.

Two Nigerian-born brothers caught on surveillance camera buying ski masks and red hats were ready to testify that Smollett paid them $3,500 to stage the January 29 attack, and that the 36-year-oldactor was behind a threating letter received a week prior.

After Michelle Obama’s former Chief of Staff, Tina Tchen contacted State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, however, charges against Smollett were dropped. Prosecutors said that Smollett’s debt to society had been paid in the form of $10,000 and 16 hours of community service he had already performed over two days at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s human rights coalition.

Smollett, meanwhile, maintains his innocence.

The sudden dismissal enraged Chicago PD, while drawing a harsh rebuke from Superintendent Eddie Johnson and Mayor Rahm Emanuel – who called it a “whitewash of justice.”

Prosecutors scramble to cover their tracks

A leaked email from the Cook County prosecutor’s office reveals that they sent out a call for “examples of cases, felony preferable, where we, in exercising our discretion, have entered into verbal agreements with defense attorneys to dismiss charges against an offender if certain conditions are met.”

According to journalist Andy Ngo, “Source inside CPD relays that it is absolutely NOT NORMAL to have an alternative prosecution where the defendant doesn’t admit guilt.”

The FBI is reportedly also working with the US Postal Service to determine whether Smollett had a hand in sending the racist letter he received a week before the hate-crome hoax.
