I doubt Rahm is really pissed. He was Obama's chief of staff.

Rahm has no dog in this race, he is not running for re-election. No fan of his but glad he showed some balls today.

I know all about his past employment. He's a damn fine actor if he was faking that rant...he WAS pissed.

Chicago police union wants federal investigation into Kim Foxx’s handling of Jussie Smollett case

Quote:
CHICAGO — Chicago's police union is calling for a federal investigation into the Cook County State's Attorney's actions in the Jussie Smollett case.

Three days after Smollett claimed he was attacked, Kim Foxx asked Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson to turn the case over to the FBI.

The request came after Foxx exchanged text messages and emails with relatives and a supporter of Smollett, who said they were worried about leaks in the investigation.

Foxx later recused herself from the case.

The FOP wants federal investigators to determine whether Foxx broke the law.

No problem at all, it is still a hoax, no one has declared it anything other than that. They decided not to charge, that is all.

Hmmm.... well it is called "Crook County."

Well...I personally think people who fake racism cries should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. To me that is nothing to play with. It's like creating a go fund me sight saying you have cancer or something, when you are perfectly healthy. It makes it hard for the people who really have these things....to be taken seriously and helped.



I have no sympathy for him. People have to know that there is a PRICE to pay for doing this.

The question is did they hold something back to get him federally? In general the police will hold some evidence back in any case that gets media attention in hopes that the defendant will mistakenly think it was released to the public when it actually wasn’t. Once they do that it usually damns them because they know something that was never publically disclosed
