Corruption of the Insiders

Mr. Smollett, who is black, gay and outspoken on social issues, had told the police that two men jumped him, while taunting him with homophobic and racial slurs and yelling "This is MAGA country," a reference to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

A stunt which Smollett had carefully planned himself and carried out with two Nigerian brothers who were captured on video purchasing the supplies used in the "Attack." The idea was to gain national attention for Smollett, who was said to be dissatisfied with his salary on his Empire TV series - and at the same time take a smack at President Trump, whom Smollett despises.

The Chicago Tribune reported that after police department sources began leaking their doubts about Mr. Smollett to local reporters, Tina Tchen, a former chief of staff to Michelle Obama, had emailed Kimberly Foxx, the top prosecutor, saying the actor's family had "Concerns about the investigation."

What both the Smollett case and the "Get Trump" silent coup attempt have surfaced is a bold case of the corruption of insiders in Chicago and Washington.

Revealing an elitist mentality that has those with power and influence deliberately and willfully ignoring the law in an obsessive drive to satisfy their own personal political whims - freeing Jussie Smollett in Chicago or blocking Donald Trump from the White House and then plotting to remove him once duly elected.

In Chicago, at the center of the corruption in the Smollett case was Michelle Obama's insider ex-chief of staff.

Whatever else this says it is crystal clear that in both the Smollett and Trump-Russia collusion cases insiders were seeking to achieve their objectives outside the law - the law they took an oath to uphold.
