BREAKING: Special Prosecutor Appointed In Jussie Smollett Investigation
www.dailywire.com ^ | Ryan Saavedra August 23, 2019

A Chicago judge appointed a special prosecutor on Friday morning to lead the investigation into the handling of the Jussie Smollett case.

Cook County Judge Michael Toomin appointed former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb to the position to investigate the way the case was handled — specifically, why the 16 criminal charges against Smollett were dropped and to potentially reinstate the charges or even add additional charges against Smollett.

"Webb gained prominence for his lead role during the Operation Greylord investigations into judicial corruption in Cook County," Fox 32 reported. "He served as special counsel in the Iran-Contra affair and was previously appointed by Judge Toomin in the death of David Koschman."

Cool. I wonder when the last time was that a Special Prosecutor actually prosecuted the target of the investigation.

That change in The Force we all felt was the violent involuntary tightening of Jussie’s sphinctor.

How long until all of the MSM says that this must be racist and somehow tied to POTUS?

An investigation into an investigation.

How about they just charge Jussie with filing a false police report and go from there.

That should delay it until after the next election.. when it can all go away if a democrat wins.

And I have a feeling they are going to do everything they can to make sure of that.

Because there will be no consequences for voter fraud if they win... and there certainly seems to be none when they lose.

A word of caution here, as someone live in Chicago more than 25 years, I suggest don’t hold your breathe on this. Chicago is a place of art of politics. Until that smollett gets hand cuffed and taken to a jail for 2-3 years, you need to watch this closely

As if there is likely a single uncorrupt judge in Cook County.

snickering ...... self-pwofessed phaggot Smollett will never be able to go back to Illinois.
And note that I did not call him that word - that is his own language describing himself.

That change in The Force we all felt was the violent involuntary tightening of Jussie’s sphincter.

The second and third degree of constriction has also been applied to Kamala and Cory. (Well, I can hope.)

He was charged, and the prosecutor, using discretion, dropped the charges.

...

Will Smollett snitch on the Democrats who put him up to it?

That would put a smile on my face.

Was he actually charged?

I thought the case was simply dismissed without charges but these things drag on for so long they become impossible to follow.

” Racist “, red-baseball hat wearing, “ toxic, white male nationalists “, screaming pro-Trump epithets, while hanging a noose around a black man’s neck, on the streets of one of the most far-left cities in the country, at 2 am.

Sounds entirely plausible to me. ;)

Yeah, that has been one of the highlights of my day. Sounds like the special prosecutor appointed has serious credibility.
