We’ll probably never know. And depending on how stupid he really is, Jussie Smollet may yet face federal charges.
But I can think of only one plausible reason for the decision by Cook County to offer him alternative prosecution. And that would be clear evidence of serious misconduct on the part of investigators, prosecutors, or both. Funny (not funny) that nobody in Chicago wants to talk about that.

@2 You don’t have to be a wingnut to dislike aggressive cyclists. Especially when they’re also belligerent, deliberately obstruct traffic, and threaten elderly people.
The vast majority of cyclists are decent, hardworking people with families who pay their taxes. It’s the few bad eggs who give the entire group a negative image. We need a better system for weeding out bad cyclists and keeping them off the streets.
A place to start is requiring all bicycles operated on public property to have plainly visible license plates, and all operators to carry liability insurance, in case they run over a baby stroller or old person walking with a cane.
I wouldn’t mind bicycle lanes galore if all cyclists were responsible and I didn’t have to worry about being squashed by one.
@5 I want to see the report first. I don’t totally trust Barr. He’s one of Trump’s men.

Smollet isn’t over yet.
A Chicago news website FOIA’d the police files for the false reporting investigation. And in surprisingly record time CPD responded and released the files (just the detective’s field reports). Normally CPD loses FOIA requests for a year or two before denying them. So something is up here.
It would appear that CPD are not happy with Cook County. And vice versa. Somebody will come out with stink on ’em. My money is on the both of ’em.

The Republican Majority Leader today blocked the unanimous House resolution and will not permit it to come before his Republican members for a vote.
They will be far too busy considering the appointment of a Special Counsel to arrest and then investigate Obama and the Democrats.
It’s pretty interesting that SDNY is pursuing Avenatti for extortion at the same time they are reviewing their non-prosecution agreement against David Pecker and AMI.
I’ve mentioned nexus to a right of claim before with regard to Pecker and AMI’s attempt to extort Jeff Bezos. And not surprisingly (because he’s a lawyer) the case against Avenatti will hinge on how well SDNY can convince a jury that there is no nexus between Avenatti’s demands for “fees” from Nike, and the alleged harm done by Nike to a basketball coach he represented. It most definitely helps the case that SDNY (with the assistance of counsel for Nike) was able to get Avenatti on tape using foul language and seemingly expressly disassociating the “fees” from any damage payments to his client.
Personally I’m glad they are going after Avenatti. I was getting tired of the guy. But I hope as SDNY proceeds on their journey with Nike here, perhaps including a few courtside seats and jerseys for the kids, they keep their case with Pecker and AMI in mind. I know I will. Somehow I suspect Avenatti will too.
The rule is pretty clear. AMI’s lawyer Jon Fine can only demand money (or anything else of value – performance) from Bezos in exchange for concealing his extra-marital affair if he also represents a client who has a right to claim damage from that extra-marital affair. Okay. So let’s be clear. Fine was alleging damage to his client. But the damage he alleged was owing to the Washington Post reporting on AMI. Fine and AMI insist that the reporting was false and defamatory. The part of the WaPo reporting that they say gave rise to the damage was how the reporting implied that AMI’s investigation into Bezos’ extra-marital affair was “politically motivated” – a claim they adamantly deny. So it’s that issue of “political motivation” that produces the nexus to the claim, not who Jeff Bezos is fucking. The affair itself, and the details of the affair have no such nexus to the claim for damages to AMI.
Sadly, his own recorded words notwithstanding, Avenatti is on more solid legal ground here in my opinion than AMI’s Fine. It only makes matters worse visually that Fine worked for Amazon directly under Bezos immediately prior to AMI. If SDNY declines to seek the same charges against Fine, Pecker, and AMI something is truly fucked up with that office. So don’t be surprised to hear that from Avenatti. He may actually have a point.
Of course these are all really horrible people and it would be a good thing if they all went to jail for a little while. So it makes perfect sense that they are all people connected to Trump and his party of soiled bed linens.
Demorat Pornstar Party Of Russia Hoax Trump Conspiracy News- This time it’s not fake, we can 100% prove it; Mueller (Russian Spy!) and Barr (Another Russian Spy!!) coverup of Trump collusion is part of George W. Bush (Yet Another Russian Spy!!!) plot to steal Iraqi oil (For Russia!!!!).
—————————
Bill Barr’s fake Mueller report: Is this WMDs in Iraq all over again? [Hint-YES!!!!!]
To suppress and spin the Mueller report, GOP pulls out the playbook of lies it used to sell us on invading Iraq.
The strategy they’re using will feel awfully familiar to those of us who lived through the George W. Bush administration’s conspiracy to bamboozle the American public into accepting a war with Iraq: Distort the existing evidence. Lie whenever necessary. Exaggerate any evidence, no matter how iffy, that supports the desired conclusion. Stifle any contradictory evidence as much as possible. And manipulate a gullible media into amplifying the spin instead of reporting the truth.
The Mueller report is weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq, all over again. Republicans are using the same playbook to protect Trump that they used to hype the Iraq war, and the strategy seems, yet again, to be working.

Just curious. Do you fucktards really think that you can troll Democrats into dropping this?
Look, I get it. Protect the king. At all costs. Etc.
But I think your efforts will be put to better use by spinning the story, lying about the lies, and pretending that it’s all over now.
Concern trolling about the determination of Democrats to continue investigating your king is stupid. History tells us it’s stupid. Voters do not give a shit if Democrats hold 2000 hours of hearings and issue hundreds of subpoenas.
The pretense that voters are incensed about “overreach” or “partisan witch hunt” hearings only exists in a universe where the same voters spend their evenings watching such hearings on CSPAN.
The fact is voters don’t care that Republicans held ten separate investigations into BENGHAAAZIII!!! costing taxpayers $100 million. Until this moment you didn’t even know it. But without those investigations we would not have learned about the BUTTERYMALES! And we all know how that turned out.
You should go back to defending the rape camps. There’s no fucking way Democrats are dropping this.

@12 You’re early today, and far off your usual topic; have you been drinking before lunch?
Now this is interesting; a solid majority of Americans don’t believe Barr:
“Though President Donald Trump has claimed ‘complete and total exoneration’ based on Attorney General William Barr’s summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, the American public disagrees, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.
“A majority (56%) says the President and his campaign have not been exonerated of collusion, but that what they’ve heard or read about the report shows collusion could not be proven. Fewer, 43%, say Trump and his team have been exonerated of collusion.”
But then, Barr is one of Trump’s men.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/27/politics/cnn-poll-mueller-reaction-exoneration/index.html
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Perception often matters more than reality, especially in politics, as Trump’s faithful following vividly demonstrates. (Those people will believe literally anything; they’re probably the ones keeping the Nigerian letter scam alive.) What this means is the rest of the population isn’t giving Trump the benefit of doubt (why should they? he doesn’t deserve any), and consequently he will get zero political capital from the “no collusion” finding that he doesn’t already have. And that’s before we’ve even seen what’s really in Mueller’s report.
@14 Looks like Heather Heyer’s murderer has agreed to live in a tiny concrete box in exchange for his life. The federal hate crimes with which he was charged carried a potential death penalty. I suppose he’s spent the last few weeks thinking over his options, which basically are whether being dead is better than spending decades in ADX Florence, and contemplating suicide by executioner. I probably would have taken the needle, if I were him, but I’m not him. He probably hasn’t been incarcerated long enough yet to fully appreciate what “stir crazy” is. He’ll either die a virgin, or at the very least will never fuck a woman again, only daydream about it. He won’t be allowed to wash dishes or work in the laundry to keep busy. He’ll have no human contact except the monthly lice inspections, and nothing to occupy his time except a Bible to read in his cell, which undoubtedly he’ll get to know well. Perhaps after 10 years of good behavior they’ll let him watch 1950’s television reruns on a small black-and-white TV once a week. He has 50 or 60 years of this in front of him to look forward to.
Sucks to be him.

Of course there was a conspiracy — just not enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt:
“’When [Barr] said in his four-page letter that the government could not establish the existence of a conspiracy, he meant it could not establish it beyond a reasonable doubt,’ Napolitano said. ‘Did [Mueller] find some evidence of a conspiracy? Of course, they did. If they didn’t, [Barr] would have told us. … In the 700-page summary … there is undoubtedly some evidence of a conspiracy and some evidence of obstruction of justice, just not enough evidence … to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt,’ Napolitano said, adding that ethically, prosecutors cannot bring charges unless evidence meets that standard. … ‘If there was no evidence of conspiracy and no evidence of obstruction, the attorney general would have told us so. He didn’t. So there is something in there.'”

“All nine Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have signed a letter calling for its chairman, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, to step down, citing his claims that there was evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 race.
“Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, introduced the scathing letter during a public committee hearing Thursday and then read it aloud. ‘Your willingness to continue to promote a demonstrably false narrative is alarming,’ Conaway said. ‘The findings of the special counsel conclusively refute your past and present exertions, and have exposed you of having abused your position to knowingly promote false information.'”
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-intel-republicans-call-schiff-resign-chairman-after-mueller-report-n988356
Roger Rabbit Commentary: This is laughable on many levels, the most obvious of which is their history of defending Trump’s countless lies. But let’s dissect this. These morons don’t even know what Mueller’s findings are, because all they’ve seen is the unsworn and self-serving statement of an attorney general who was specifically tasked with protecting Trump from Mueller’s report! But if promoting false information is a punishable offense, then let’s start with Conaway’s climate denial. And last, but not least, what if Schiff turns out to be right? What if the Mueller report confirms what he’s been saying, that there was collusion, simply not enough evidence to prosecute it? Then Conaway and his colleagues are the individuals promoting a false narrative, and their own words will come back to bite them. But as this letter is merely partisan grandstanding, in this era of partisan non-cooperation, I think the most fitting reply is, “Go fuck yourselves.”
What would be the federal jurisdiction here? Why would the FBI and DoJ get involved in a local prosecutor’s disposition decision regarding an alleged offense under state law?

It isn’t worth dissecting. It’s just more positional rhetoric. One presumes that they are hopping Democrats will become “concerned” about “overreach”. I doubt it. I sure wont. I don’t think the base will at all.
As I’ve said, voters don’t give a fuck about these hearings, the process, the subpoenas, or investigations. All they end up caring about are the results. Any results. There is absolutely no risk of “overreach” so long as the lawmakers involved do not ratify those fake “overreach” concerns and stick with it. They keep digging until they find more evidence of all the tax cheating, the financial fraud, and the obstruction. They already have a lot. But more is better. Then they plaster that evidence all over the media and hammer it right on through election day. They learn message discipline and they learn to ignore his personality, his crudeness, and his taunting. And they incessantly remind everyone at all times that these criminals have been caught red-handed. That’s what works. We’ve seen it all before.
They committed obstruction.
They committed financial fraud.

Here’s what I’m picking up about oil from the investment grapevine:
1. Shale has dramatically increased U.S. production, but a lot of this oil is unprofitable and is being produced because of “pump or die” economics.
2. Shale wells last only a couple years, and have to constantly be re-drilled, making shale oil costlier than offshore oil.
3. Offshore activity has been quiet since oil prices collapsed, but is starting to pick up.
4. Recent offshore discoveries in Guyana are now in the billions of barrels. This oil is not yet in production.
5. For the first time in a decade, oil inventories are falling instead of rising, on an annualized basis.
6. The oil market is tightening, portending higher prices ahead. Expect gas prices to go up this summer.
7. Wall Street anticipates higher oil prices, and has started bidding up energy stocks. My oil stocks are among my best performing stocks this year.
I don’t expect it to attain the proportions of an oil shock, but I think you should be prepared for some energy inflation this year.
The bottom line is the increased domestic production from shale doesn’t look sustainable at current prices. Only portions of Bakken and Permian are economically viable at this time.
Thus, America’s oil independence may be only temporary, although higher oil prices (in the $70-$80 range) could extend that period.

@65 Who do you report rape to, when the rapist is the police chief? I’ll tell you this, the town is as good as bankrupt. That girl is gonna be the new owner of everything that town owns down to the last phone cord.
But don’t you see, we don’t need education programs for disabled kids, and it’s a waste of precious taxpayer money that could be used for the border wall, because they’re all going to be humanely euthanized when they turn 18.

@66. The only thing he didn’t do was to get up out of his chair and physically bitch slap them fuckers. Awesome!
Bob is fucking the horse again!
Carl, Darryl, Goldy, someone – please do a thread on paying college students for sports. I’m completely against it and would like to know where everyone else stands on the issue because it doesn’t seem like a partisan stance to take either way. Although it see,ms like it could turn into a political issue.
“Dudes – please, stick to horses and goats!”
We would rather they fuck robot horses.
72,
NCAA rules for Div 1 athletes are assinine.
Alabama’s sports revenues are about $175 million. Football coaching staff draw about $20 million of that in salary. AD office draws about another $10 million. After that you have all the other coaches, operations, etc. and they still turn a $12 to $15 million profit.
Meanwhile, a freshman athlete can’t even have a fucking job. They are only allowed to work summers and they may not work in athletics. They can’t earn any money at all from any kind of sports camp, training facility, skills clinics, or even picking up towels in a health club. Recently the
plantation bossesNCAA amended the work rules to allow athletes to work during the off-season half of the school year. But they placed a maximum wage limit that works out to about $8.50/hr. And any job or any other source of income must be approved weekly by theplantation bossesNCAA.Ironically the rules forbid athletes from receiving any form of academic scholarship, study grant, or award for academic merit. No matter how brilliant or disciplined the student may be, they may not be recognized and supported in their studies financially.
So now you know why every couple of years you read about one of these kids stealing a phone or a laptop.
Oh and btw, if the kid is “fortunate” enough to be playing football, they get all these cool benefits plus a really good opportunity to suffer permanent brain damage. Sweeeeet.
