Clearly some sort of Privilege in play here!

Can you imagine if it had been a straight, white, conservative male fabricating a story of being assaulted by two Africans wearing Obama HOPE caps in Chicago?

Chicago PD is not making any statement at all -- deferring to the State Attorney's office.

Smollett and the Chicago PD reputations are hurt here......but I don't think that's enough.

'Institutional failures of the Chicago PD........" hmmmm
The photo records of the Nigerian brothers buying the "noose rope," "black ski mask," etc. Hmmmm...

"Institutional failures of the Chicago PD"? The whole Chicago political system is the most corrupt in the country, top to bottom!

I will wait with final judgment/opinion until we know all the facts, BUT if he walks because an ex-Obama official called in a favor, then I hope the DOJ will proceed with charges for a hate crime.

When do you have to surrender your bond if charges are dropped and you're "exonerated"? You don't.

He's going to plead guilty to a lesser charge and the $10K is the fine.
