ICHEOKU says please give it up to Illinois and their notoriety for corruption. A State, whose nearly every past governor was sent to prison as a result of corruption; the last one, Rod Blagojevich, still behind bars for the same corruption crimes. Little wonder, nothing good should be expected out of its largest city of Chicago, which gave the world the infamous Al Capone and a lot of other criminal masterminds.
Now, enter the scandal that is Jussie Smollet's 16 felony counts being dropped and for no apparent reason, other than the usual Chicago Illinois quid pro quo dealings. Who shall it be told that a guy facing possible time behind bars, with 16 felony counts charges, of such easily provable crimes, would get such an ice cream slap on the wrist and told to go but sin no more. It is incredible and it is incredulous; but at last, that is the true state of affairs in Illinois, the land of Abraham Lincoln; which also gave America Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. ICHEOKU says is there something in the water in Illinois that makes corruption so easily acceptable and, with such a relish.
ICHEOKU says it is definitely another black eye on American Justice System, which of late has increasingly been showing its hand as a two tier justice system: one for the rich and well connected as well as the otherwise gender confused individuals; and the other for the outsiders, as well as the downtrodden and unconnected. It is about time Americans rise up and demand of these disciples on the alter of Lady Justice, to do better and to apply justice equally across the board, without regard to the personal accoutrements of the accused/defendant. What possibly could have made the District Attorney of Chicago to completely wipe the criminal slate of this guy clean, despite what he did and it was not in doubt as his accomplices were found, interrogated and were ready to testify, yet the Chicago gumbahs pulled a fast one and he walked. What type of example did the DA set by doing this; that it is okay to break the law as long as you know somebody who has her direct telephone line and possibly would contribute to her future campaigns?
A matter made more suspicious because no reasonable basis was established for dropping the charges, short of a possible campaign contribution promise and/or inducement; and some arm twisting by the powerful, who wanted to see the charges go away and Jussie Smollett completely rehabilitated. Look at the speed with which they even expunged the records as if it never happened and before anyone could understand what really went down. A case which was investigated and presented before a grand jury, which recommended that it proceeded to trial and this was how the DA so cavalierly flushed it down the drain? ICHEOKU says it definitely calls for a second look, either by the Attorney General of Illinois or the FBI, as American people are shocked, especially it coming so soon after the also shocking, nearly two years Mueller' Russian Collusion investigation that turned up nothing.
What is going in America calls for a reassessment, as the rich regularly gets away with murder, while the poor is sent away in the slammer for merely blinking an eyelid. American people need to know what exactly influenced the outcome in the Jussie Smollett's case and if such has now become the new normal or what? It is akin to Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton, committing obvious crimes of deleting and bleaching watching 33,000 subpoenaed emails and still walked; while a president, whose only crime was winning an election was nearly framed up. This is exactly the type of thing which one sees in Banana Republics and you wonder if the American descent into such infamy has already taken a turn for the worst and gone on a free fall.
What else can ICHEOKU add to this scandal other than, that R. Kelly must act fast and change his attorneys, and retain the two lawyers who pulled off this Smollett stunt. Otherwise, what else can anyone say in a futile attempt to explain such inexplicable an unexplainable velvet treatment which Jussie Smollett received in the hands of Chicago justice system. It is pitiful; it is sad; and it sends a wrong message that it is okay to break the law as long as you have the wherewithal to pull the necessary strings required to spring you out of your legal jam and harms way.
ICHEOKU says wanted to blame it on his status as a celebrity, but remembered that Oprah Winfrey was once prosecuted for her attack on the beef industry in Texas, although acquitted. Mike Tyson was prosecuted in Nevada for rape and convicted. OJ Simpson was prosecuted in California for double murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, but acquitted. Michael Jackson too was prosecuted in California for chic molestation and acquitted. Kobe Bryant was prosecuted in Colorado for rape and acquitted. So, the story of celebrities running afoul of the law is not new nor scarce, begging the question, why did Jussie Smollett cases dropped?
Jussie Smollett is a much lesser celebrity than any of the fellas mentioned above; but for him not to be tried at all, but have all his 16 felony counts dropped, only shows one thing and one thing only, CORRUPTION at work. The State of Illinois and the City of Chicago are the most corrupt places in America and the records are there to back this up. It is about Chicago and Jussie Smollet is not a politically correct prosecutable offender. He is black, gay homosexual, and also a celebrity; needless to add that the DA is also black and a fan and is possibly thinking ahead of future elections. What will eventually become of the City of Chicago with the incoming black mayor, when every City top office will be held by certain people can only be lived to be seen. But the free pass given to Jussie Smollett reeks of crass corruption, which the Federal authorities should try and look into. Disgustingly sad.
