The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office has dropped all charges against actor Jussie Smollet who was charged with staging a fake anti-gay, anti-black hate crime against himself.

The actor sensationally claimed he was set upon by two white, MAGA hat wearing men at 2 AM in the morning in January who just so happened to be lying in wait for him at that time of the morning in -10 degrees Celsius weather who also put a rope around his neck.

Police quickly determined the actor was lying and arrested two Nigerian actors known to the Empire star who explained that they were paid to fake the assault to help the actor gain notoriety and possibly a pay rise.

The actor was facing a myriad of felonies which were suddenly and inexplicably dropped on Tuesday.

Now however, The Chicago Police Union now want a full federal investigation into Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s handling of Smollett’s case after text messages revealed she was in communication with Smollett family friend Tina Tchen before the charges were dropped.

Tchen just so happened to be Chief of Staff for former First Lady Michelle Obama. Chicago being Barack Obama’s home town prior to becoming President.

The Gateway pundit reports that in an email to Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, Tchen stats

“Hi Kim – I sent an email to your work address I think as well. I wanted to give you a call on behalf of Jussie Smollett and family who I know. They have concerns about the investigation. I am on an 8 am flight to nyc but please call me before then. I land about 1015 Chicago time. My cell is [redacted]. Many thanks!”

Smollett being gay, black and anti-Trump has enjoyed the unwavering support of the US mainstream media and Hollywood and it appears some other very influential people.
