Justice Trade

[Blind Gossip] If you are wondering what the heck happened in this high-profile criminal case, we may have some insight!

Apparently, a trade was made.

Justice for politics.

The person who was responsible for administering justice aspires to a higher political office.

She was told that she would only be supported by [an influential former politician] if she quashed the existing case.

So, what about the crime?

It has nothing to do with the crime. It has to do with race and politics. She was told that [the politician] was very unhappy that this case was getting so much attention. She was told that she needed to make the case go away or she could kiss her own political future goodbye.

Why did they want her to quash it?

The crime doesn’t fit the narrative of their party and it makes many people in their party look bad. Worst of all, it provides fodder for the opposing political party for the 2020 election.

So if a local crime doesn’t fit a national political narrative, it never happened? Wow.

    •Jussie “Liar” Smollett
    •Foxx
    •Obamas
    •Jessie Jackson

    What a self-entitled farce, scam, & so revoltingly disrespectful to Law Enforcement & all involved on “the Proper side of Justice!

  3. PatioPrincess says

    Why is there no felony charge from the Post Office for mailing powder to himself? That is terrorism and serious *. Jussie needs to do some time and I cannot WAIT to see what Trump does with this windfall. He’s been quiet, so you can imagine what his team is cooking up. Jussie brought Trump so many new supporters. Love it. You can’t write stuff like this.

  6. ItsBouquet says

    I am black and I am a democrat. Justin Smollet getting away with this has upset me enough to no longer identify as democrat. I believe in the greater good more than I believe in being politically aligned. He should be in prison.

  7. scumby says

    He and his siblings are close to the Obamas, Kamala Harris and Booker. This runs deep and will not go away quietly. The Democrats practically threw away the House in months. Corruption and out-of-control idiots like AOC and the muslim.

    Former Politician: Obama

    As someone who has supported both parties as I really do want the most qualified person for the job, this pains me. There has been so much corruption in DC. I know that no gov’t is made entirely of people with integrity, but why can’t we have one where most have a decent amount it. This is why dictators like Kim Jung Un exist. We allow this to be our norm because ‘we, the people’ could come together & fix it…

    • SilverLining says

      *Kim Jong-Un
      (I’ll just consider that while I live my life I’ll expect it’s like living in h-e-l-l, because humans combined should not possess this level of fallibility aka corruption; I’ll just look forward to the afterlife to see a place that really is great; with that said, I don’t need anyone to tell me what to believe or call me an idiot for what I choose to believe; I’ll know the truth in due time and I am content waiting until then; I can say I NEVER have judged another for this.

    Accused: Jussie Smollett
    Quasher: Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx
    Former Politician: Obama seems too obvious to me. My guess is Jesse Jackson. He could be considered a former politician as he ran for president twice in the 80s and was once shadow senator of DC. He still holds some power in the Cook County Democratic party. I can see the twisted logic of this. The trial likely would have been held during the early primaries and Trump would have a field day with this

    Of course it doesn’t met their narrative. It would of served if he had been assaulted by white men. HE’S A LIAR! He is being helped by a liar because of a liar! Birds of a feather!

    Optional: Funny how they managed to seal 80% of the court records and they think no one would be suspicious of it. If this doesn’t scream back room deal i dont know what does! Then again the state of Illinois is known for political corruption. I believe they have the highest amount of governors arrested for corruption.

    How am I feeling right now? Angry with Jussie that he perpetrated this hate crime hoax involving the gay community. And angry with the State’s Attorney’s office turning a blind eye to justice being served.

    • Msfittoys says

      Need to amend my answer:

      Cook County State’s Attorney: Kimberly M. Foxx, NOT IL State’s Attorney Lisa Madigan. Sorry, Lisa!

    I think everyone other than certain quarters are absolutely horrified at this result and can see it for what it is. I don’t think it will do Ms Foxx’s political ambitions any good as this will always be held against her.

    This is so wrong, on so many levels!! Justice is supposed to be blind, not available for political bribery!!

  20. suzyQ888 says

    It’s no secret this is about the disgraceful Smollet case w/ Kim Foxx & the Obamas. Doing this HURTS their party as has every move the Democrats have made for years, such as rigging the primary. You can’t get away with this stuff anymore without being exposed. When HRC was doing this kind of thing it cost her the election & now the Obamas are doubling down. It does nothing but confirm how shady the party is and politics in general. Corruption & lies are all the Democratic party is known for…

  23. hairsofthedog says

    Congratulations, Jussie Smollett, on definitively demonstrating that there are two justice systems in this country, one for the Hollywood and political elite, and one for the rest of us. You and your enablers sicken me and every other decent person who values truth and justice.

  26. Baileygirl says

    Jussie Smollett and the A.G in Cook County as the quasher Politician: Obama. Incensed just like any person with a moral compass. The Feds won’t let this go. That A.G can kiss her political aspirations goodbye. Once this all comes out and he is federally prosecuted, Obama will look like the bad guy but will be protected by the media. Two justice systems in this country. Welcome to the Banana Republic of America.

    oh dear, this must be jussie smollett. all i know is the politician can’t be rahm emanuel – he seems to be absolutely livid about these developments, but i’m a canadian from the west coast, so my knowledge of chicago politicians is admittedly rather limited!

  33. aaronxp says

    Obviously Jussie Smullet and Kamala Harris. This might even get worst he wasnt even declared innocent and it could got to a federal court, the democrats are digging their own grave. people are not that stupid

  34. LizardQueen says

    Definitely regarding Jessie Smullet.
    I don’t know who’s who in this blind. But I do know that I STILL smell sour milk in the pudding. I said today to friends that there are some power players that made sure this went away.
    Awful… and goes on more often then we will ever know.
    And with Jessie being who he is (hearing stories from people within the industry), he will be up to some other shenanigans again since he now thinks he’s made of teflon with powerful friends.

  45. pjswimmer says

    Mayor Rahm Emanuel (very much a Dem; former Obama Chief of Staff) is pissed the charges were dropped. I don’t think it was politically-motivated. I think Fox stepped in and used some influence because this whole story was bad for Empire (how could it run in syndication with this hanging over the show?)

  48. whydoireadthis says

    I am so P*#S*D off I could scream. Muller’s report clears Trump- NO COLLUSION! The left screams and whines. Everybody knows Jessie is guilty. The left cheers when he gets off. The Chicago Police rightfully feel the same way I do. Did the police spend more than $10,000 investigating? Obamas tried to get FBI to take Jessie’s case and couldn’t. So a crooked deal with the DA was done. Obama will go down for TREASON for his part in the Trump affair. Page testified about it. Rot in…

  50. taupeantlers says

    Obviously Jussie, but I don’t believe this has anything to do with politics. I think he paid those brothers a good amount of money to refuse to testify against him. If they deny what they told the police, the case becomes problematic. His career is still over. Enjoy working at Best Buy, Jussie. At least you’ll be around television.

      Oh, and it is BULL. He is a liar, and I hope his career is over. Sadly, he will be made into a martyr, and get richer. If you think this is going to end pretty,….all it will do is encourage more fake hate crimes looking to get rich.

    To be honest I think they have made things worse. The public can see what’s going on. The evidence was overwhelming. This is clearly about politics and overt corruption of the legal system. I will never support any project associated with Smollett . I feel sorry for Chicago PD they were left high and dry on this case.

    • Alexis_Rose says

      Completely agree that the Obamas getting this case dismissed makes it a bigger headline. I also feel sorry for the Chicago PD and for the City of Chicago. They don’t need this kind of black eye…..no city does. These people have NO SHAME!

  82. mystic1 says

    Jussie Smollett … don’t know who the politicians were but I thought it was BS when I heard. I knew something went on behind the scenes. I hope he will be blacklisted in Hollywood.

  83. rockstar says

    This is Smollett, and it’s a frigging travesty of justice. He should be in jail right now.

  85. Este8888 says

    Jessie Smollett & Barak Obama. I believe this. Problem is, didn’t take long for truth to come out and right on the heels of Mueller exoneration, well I think squashing this just gave it wings. And this kind of PR now that the Obamas are going Hollywood, doesn’t look good at all. Could damage their future brand. This is gonna backfire and land Trump back in the WH. Their collusion is being exposed.

    I am truly amazed. It’s scary to see what our country is becoming. The legal system has always had a certain amount of corruption (as do many other fields) but they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. This is such a slap in the face and we are just supposed to smile. Sad, sad, sad.

    • ChattyCat says

      I’m in Australia and feel the same disillusionment. Our government doesn’t even try to conceal dodgey dealings. And the UK would be well and truelly fed up with their government also (with that while Brexit mess). It’s all a bit of a bore…to use an english expression. I’m really disappointed the Obama’s have gotten involved with Jussies case. I really liked Obama.

  88. redstilettos says

    Smollett. He could have caused race riots. This is irresponsible. I read somewhere there’s a Michelle Obama connection.

    I do not live in the USA so no idea of politicians but it is a Democrat.
    Jussie Smollett. Police are peeved.
    This makes little sense to me. It was so public that no way anyone can believe he can get away with it. It is absurd.

    • zappy2050 says

      “Absurd” – that’s the same thing people are saying about the college scandal ($6.5 million for your kid to attend a college) but it happened.

  91. zappy2050 says

    This makes perfect sense. He was only going to get community service and asked to pay expenses anyway. My gut feeling is that Obama was involved (yes, the Obama). I like Obama, he is a nice guy – but I need you to be prepared that he was involved. This is not because Obama is gay – he is not – it is about helping Smollett. Other prominent African Americans were involved as well. A lot of people like Smollett – really like him – a lot of people behind the scenes say he is a “nice kid”

    • zappy2050 says

      Chicago Mayor – Rahm Emanuel appearing shocked!!!!! is all part of it – good acting on his part.

      OBAMA IS THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT SINCE LBJ.

      I HOPE THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH ABOUT THE OBAMAS IS REVEALED,THEN THEY ARE THROWN TO THE ANGRY MOB!!!!!!
      NO MERCY.
      IF OBAMA “HAD A SON HE’D BE JUST LIKE JUSSIE”!!!!!!

    • reen57 says

      This kind of makes sense. He was the first person I thought of, but….the prosecutor and the judge are male from what I read. I thought the politician was still in politics, so I didn’t think of Obama who is still living in DC. He’s originally from IL, though, so he probably still has some clout there.
      I wonder what really happened. Chicago cops and prosecutors do not have the best reputation when it comes to minority relations.
