Crook County, "The Chicago Way" and Pay to Play strike again. I would be curious to know who benefited and how much Smollett had to payoff (bribe) to get the 16 Felony counts dropped. Hopefully the Feds will look into both Smollett's original mail fraud, and the now acceptance of some type of bribe (can there be any other explanation?) by the Crook County States Atty office.
