He's deeply indebted to the Obama administration and its flunkies - who still wield a ton of power in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes out and publicly decries the decision along with the cops, it takes away the "it's just dirty Chicago/Obama politics as usual!" attacks. At least that's the thinking on their part (imo - I am clearly speculating). He doesn't have to worry about blow back at the ballot box, he can play his role and make his stand knowing it's all a show. That's why more than one cop was rolling their eyes as he spoke.

I guess that makes some amount of sense. Short-sighted, ineffective, and lazy - which is why I figured that wasn't why - but makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeginnersMind Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 13 minutes ago, KRC said: That is weird. Only $408k? Buying people in Chicago is relatively cheap. Soros funded a lot of pro-defendant DAs across the country in the last few years in cities he has no relationship with as part of some personal mission against what he believes are overzealous prosecutors. A former DA friend of mine (very conservative, as are many DAs!) doesn't think this decision is that out of line for a big city DA. When you're facing 500 murders a year and lots of violent crime, spending a ton of resources, which it would take in a case like this, to prosecute a guy for a hoax, a guy with no record and not likely to do it again, a history of active community service, keeping his 10K, and almost zero chance of perpetrating a violent crime, would be a waste of resources better spent making Chicago safer (!). It doesn't feel good or right, but there's some sense to it. The reality of an overburdened system. Of course, here at PPP, it has to be part of the master conspiracy.

There's literally NO sense to it at all, and I don't need a DA friend to tell me that. Do you think, for one moment, that if this crime was NOT Smollett but some unknown nutbag looking for fame, that the Chicago PD would have put so much time, energy and resource into it? Of course not. Smollett cost the city millions and stressed out the city's protection and resources, while lying to the world for weeks...even to this day, insisting he has been honest since day one. This isn't political. You don't just DROP the charges here. It's embarrassing on multiple levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The second tweet says:Part of Smollett's community service for Rainbow Push included 8 hours of service on March 23rd. And 8 hours of service on March 25th. Service included working in the bookstore, critiquing in the broadcast studio and speaking to students and parents who visited. 2/2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) i was expecting a false flag to draw attention away from Mueller's Report. this probably isn't that but is sure is a big ol' red herring and accomplishes the same damn thing.

I would love for him to comment here but to be clear, he personally thinks this is awful and wouldn't have approved it. But he also sees how it could happen (especially with a Soros-funded soft-on-crime DA). Edited March 26, 2019 by BeginnersMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
