CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 28, 2019
THE COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS PROSECUTOR HAS DROPPED 16 FELONY CHARGES AGAINST ACTOR JUSSIE SMOLLETT, SAYING HIS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND FORFEITURE OF $10 THOUSAND BOND IS SUFFICIENT. PROSECUTOR JOE MAGATS INSISTED, “WE DIDN’T EXONERATE HIM.” IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DID TO THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH COLLECTED IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT SMOLLETT LIED WHEN HE SAID HE WAS ATTACKED AT 2 AM ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO BY TWO WHITE MEN WHO SHOUTED ANTI-GAY SLURS AND WORE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN CAPS, SAYING, “THIS IS TRUMP COUNTRY.”
POLICE BLAMED SMOLLETT FOR TAKING THEM AWAY FROM SERIOUS MATTERS, INCLUDING REDUCING CHICAGO’S HIGH MURDER RATE. SMOLLETT HAS HIS DEFENDERS, JUST AS O.J. SIMPSON HAD, BUT THE REAL ISSUE ONCE AGAIN IS THAT CELEBRITIES WITH ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THE RIGHT LAWYERS CAN BEAT JUST ABOUT ANY RAP, INCLUDING MURDER.
SMOLLETT’S RECORD HAS BEEN WIPED CLEAN, BUT THE FBI MAY YET BRING NEW CHARGES AGAINST HIM AND A FEDERAL TRIAL MIGHT NOT GO AS WELL FOR HIM AS THIS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE IN CHICAGO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
