    See my note below.

    Watched Tucker last night. Actually, it was quite an ordeal to sit through the entire time of his coverage, showing the list of despicable characters as he is known for.

    Last night Tucker Carlson said that Smollet isn't innocent but "something better--privileged, famous and above the law."
    Now me dino thinks of what Sean Hannity has been saying about what he described as our "two-tiered justice system."
    One tier is for the group me dino likes to call "our more than equal elite betters." The other tier is most of us, who would go to jail forever for destroying subpoenaed emails by having her help acid-wash and smash computer devices as did Candidate Cackles, one of our filthy (how she got her $$$) rich "betters" among the uppity-ups of a virtual yet solidly entrenched American aristocracy that would horrify our Founding Fathers.

    Well considering there were two people to provide lip service to between Barry and Michelle it's no wonder neither would let him be taken from them easily. How many other know conclusively that both Os have a functional penis and can keep a secret.

    Pardon the crudeness but I suspect the Os played a part in this.

    Watched Tucker for 10 min (that is all I can do), all of which he spent on Smollett.

    So the guy is friends with the Obamas, Harris, have attorney connections to the highest levels, etc.

    It was a matter of a phone call.

    The most disgusting part was when Smollett stepped in from of the cameras announcing that everything he said was true b/c he would not take his family through a scandal like this was.

    This is so absurd that the only reaction you are able to have is a stunned silence.

    I'll plead the 5th on that.

    There's a note in the money speech in AS where it's mentioned that the end is near when the laws are to protect them from you, not you from them. That's what this is.

    Why is it not a surprise? Because of the corrupt courts, or because the guy is black and he was tried by a black attorney?

    A profile of Kimberly Foxx, State Attorney:

    "Kimberly M. Foxx is the first African American woman to lead the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office – the second largest prosecutor’s office in the country. Kim took office on December 1, 2016 with a vision for transforming the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office into a fairer, more forward-thinking agency focused on rebuilding the public trust, promoting transparency, and being proactive in making all communities safe.

    More than two years into her term, Kim has undertaken substantial reform. She has revamped the office’s Conviction Integrity Unit, resulting in overturned convictions in over 60 cases, including the first-ever mass exoneration in Cook County for 15 men whose convictions stemmed from misconduct by a Chicago Police Officer. She has been a leader in bond reform, instructing prosecutors to agree to recognizance bonds where appropriate, and reviewing bond decisions in cases where people are detained because they are unable to pay bonds of $1,000 or less. Kim has taken the lead on prioritizing resources away from low-level offenses to focus on violent crime, including raising the threshold for approving felony charges for retail theft to $1,000, and declining to prosecute misdemeanor traffic offenses for failure to pay tickets and fines."

    So her "transformation" of the office pertained to letting criminals go free. The typical liberal left's "progress".
