Trump decides to meddle in the Jussie Smollett controversy. |
Okay, we are now using federal resources to go after political enemies.
Whereas we have individuals who have committed far worse criminal acts in this country alone. This imbecile openly embraces kookspiracy theories (i.e. Seth Rich's murder). He has vilified American lawmakers, those who worked for the FBI, went to social media to rally online harassment and Fox News to amplify public dissent.
Yet, he was not charged with a criminal act. Seven of his allies were charged with criminal acts. Donald J. Trump clearly did wrong doing but managed to get away with it.
Earlier this morning, Trump tweeted his disgust for the charges being dropped against Empire actor Jussie Smollett.
So he wants to use the FBI and Department of Justice to go after Smollett.
Instead of taking an impartial side, he fully went on the "guilty by public opinion." The imbecile may have tainted the case.
"I think that case is an absolute embarrassment to our country, and somebody has to at least take a very good hard look at it," Trump told reporters at the White House, echoing a tweet he sent earlier in the day.
Speaking as he left for an evening political rally in Michigan, Trump did not explain what, if anything, federal authorities could do about Smollett after local prosecutors in Chicago decided to drop the case against him.
Trump's critics said the president is playing racial politics with the Smollett case, seeking to undercut the victims of real racial violence that is on the rise.
"By claiming a false attack, Smollett tried to exploit the hate @realDonaldTrump has stirred," tweeted David Axelrod, former adviser to President Barack Obama. "Now, predictably, Trump is moving to exploit Smollett’s exploitation. Talk about a vicious circle!"

FBI & DOJ to review the outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago. It is an embarrassment to our Nation!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2019

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, citing Trump's history of race relations, said the president should “sit this one out.”
The Chicago Police are so upset some of their members are going to take "sick days" to protest the state's declining charges against the embattled entertainer. They want to sent a bill to the entertainer for the time spent for the investigation.
Oh, yeah, why don't they pay off those families that had their children shot and killed by the Chicago Police. Should the citizens force the Chicago Police to bill the victims of the most recent raid on a local family's home. The woman who lived there had the police enter her home while she was celebrating her son's birthday.
Smollett was written out of the final episodes of Empire. It's unclear whether Fox may renew the show or cancel it. The possibility of renewal only seems likely but for a final season.
Smollett continues to maintain his innocence.
