You would have a better point if you just pointed out that the "Trumpers" standard is an investigation that lasted 675 days and consisted of
- About 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants and other staff that assisted with the investigation.
- More than 2,800 subpoenas issued by the Special Counsel's office, that's an average of at least four per day.
- Nearly 500 search warrants executed.
- More than 230 orders for communication records.
- Nearly 50 authorized orders for the use of pen registers, a tool that lets the government know who someone is communicating with and when, but not what they said.
- 13 evidence requests to foreign governments
- 500 witnesses interviewed
- $25 millionin posted costs as of February
In no way was Jussie put under that level of investigation.
You are right.
Also the Chicago tribune calls this indefensible.

You "forgot" to list the charges and convictions of trump's campain, and the deliberate witholding of mueller's report, and piled on more red herrings which do not prove my point wrong. No special rules for you, oh well.

None of which were against Trump, which is the point of comparing the "Trumpers" standards in regards to the investigation and Jussie having his charges dropped.

Parts of the case sealed.So what does that mean? The media can't talk about the very public details anymore?
I guess we'll never know what they found out, that "exonerated" him.
It means that the lawyers for Smollett threatened to sue the City of Chicago for infringing his 8th Amendment Rights by releasing details of an ongoing investigation to the public, thereby prejudicing potential jurors, and hindering his right to a fair trial. So the prosecutor agreed to drop the charges in exchange for him forfeiting his bond, and performing community service, rather than be on the losing end of multimillion dollar lawsuit and public relations nightmare.

So Manaforts past sins related to Russian collusion?
I actually agree with Poe somewhat. This may be the prosecutor weighing the risks and benefits and deciding to go with the least direct risk to the city. Though she may have been a bit tone deaf seeing as this will be a far bigger public relations nightmare than the city getting sued. I mean, I get the logic and in the vast majority of cases out there with the same conditions (but different accused and different levels of media/social media attention), she'd have made the right call. IF this is the case, then I feel a bit sorry for her because the city is going to throw her so hard under the bus that she may as well decide to live there.
Overall, I feel that this as a HUGE net negative for democrats in the long run, this not only confirms repub biases that democrat = corrupt (although the city is doing the right thing in distancing themselves from this) this also did huge damage to the narrative of racial privilege as well as hurt the credibility of all future hate crime victims. I can already see the attack ads come election time. Even worse, centrists (and many leftists on-the-fence) were quite convinced of Smollet's guilt, to see this seeming travesty of justice can only push them away from from these liberal talking points albeit a little.
This is just more ammunition Trump can use to get reelected in 2020. Trumpers should do another victory lap here, Smollet and the city of Chicago did them a big favor.
IMO anyway. Of course, I'm no expert.

Please list all the collusion charges, if you run out of room, please make a second post.
