#3 ...cause you know the real victims were just the MAGA people he bore false witness against. Why would the Left care other than he failed to pull it off? If the skin color and accusations were reversed, we'd be hearing endless chants of 'racism!' from the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises.

#5 I don't believe for a minute that Mayor Rahm (or the Chicago Police Chief) is that PO'd. It's all perception theater as he's moving on to other things and will need the kabuki kredibility.

Rank & file officers are indeed pissed off though.

#6 This looks like because he’s an actor, a person of influence, he got treated differently than anybody else

He's probably just jealous that it wasn't him that was dealing favors.

#7 Foxx nullified the grand jury true bill. This woman could be in hot water. Most likely her career, like the prosecutor's career in Baltimore (The one who went after the cops in the Freddie Gray case to further her career) is in the dumper. The Chicago police must have really been ticked. They rushed to get out FOIA request info on the case to the media. I"d bet she would talk. Soros dumped $408,000 into her PAC.

#8 As close as he is to Obama, methinks he doth protest too much.
