The Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, is not happy with the justice department for dropping all 16 charges against Jussie Smollett who was accused of staging his own assault.
Recall that yesterday the court ruled that the details of the case will never be made public, and Smollett maintained that he was innocent. Now, the Mayor has dismissed the decision as a “whitewash of justice,” that it shows you can beat the system if you are rich and influential.
He said, “A grand jury saw the evidence (and) realized this was a hoax — a hoax on the city, a hoax on hate crimes, a hoax on people of good values who actually were empathetic at first. And he used that empathy for only one reason … himself. This is a whitewash of justice, sends a clear message that if you’re in a position of influence and power you’ll get treated one way, other people will be treated another way.”
He continued, “There is no accountability, then, in the system. It is wrong, full stop. Our officers did hard work day in and day out, countless hours, working to unwind what actually happened that night. The city saw its reputation dragged through the mud.”
And he said a lot more.
