The city announced this morning that it will sue Smollett to recover the costs of investigating his phony assault story. And properly so. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

By claiming a false attack, Smollett tried to exploit the hate @realDonaldTrump has stirred. Now, predictably, Trump is moving to exploit Smollett’s exploitation. Talk about a vicious circle! — PolitiTweet.org

“Every American knows someone, and perhaps loves someone, with a chronic illness. Now Trump has ensured that the threat to people with pre-existing conditions will be front and center in yet another campaign.” My take: https://t.co/o3SrP2yNzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Smollett repaid the city $10k, ostensibly as an offset for the investigation his phony charges ignited that cost the City of Chicago in the millions. It really is outrageous. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“The fact that (Smollett) feels that we have exonerated him, we have not. I can’t make it any clearer than that." So says the lead prosecutor in Smollett case. So why allow Smollett to get off for $10K and have his records expunged and case files sealed? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Hate crimes are loathsome. Faking them is insidious and shouldn’t be excused. Despite Smollett’s denials, nothing the prosecutor said in dismissing the case supports that. If prosecutors have evidence that contradicts the indictment THEY brought, they should share it today. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a total head-scratcher. After all that has transpired interesting to hear the prosecutor’s rationale for kicking a case that seemed very clear. Charges dropped against 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett https://t.co/HqGLGPSQif (Via Sun-Times) — PolitiTweet.org

On the subject of apologies: If he now embraces Mueller’s conclusions, shouldn’t @realDonaldTrump apologize to the American people for publicly accepting Putin’s denials in Helsinki about Russia’s intervention in our election? — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller exposed the Russian campaign to subvert America’s election and tilt it Trump’s way yet @realDonaldTrump calls those who demanded a thorough probe of this “treasonous.” — PolitiTweet.org

Tricky pass for Congessional Dems. They must pursue the full Mueller report and provide the oversight their oaths require WITHOUT looking like so many Captain Ahabs monomaniacally hunting the Great Orange Whale. — PolitiTweet.org

New Iowa poll puts @PeteButtigieg in third place behind Biden and Bernie. Way early. Lots of chapters-and polls- to come. But remarkable progress for the young South Bend mayor whose name few knew, much less could pronounce, a month ago. https://t.co/U4JnOvbpD7 — PolitiTweet.org
