Toobin and Cooper grill Smollett's attorney; ‘The View’ is ripping into Jussie Smollett getting off scot free

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin and Anderson Cooper question Jussie Smollett's attorney Tina Glandian.

The case against Jussie Smollett is so strong that even the harpies on The View are criticizing Chicago for letting him off.

Watch below:

Some comments via Mediaite:

Sunny Hostin said it was a “little confusing” and it seems “strange” because of how the police department appeared to be blindsided by the whole thing.

“The police department is saying ‘we had enough evidence,’ the prosecution is saying ‘he’s not exonerated, we believed in our case,’ and Jussie’s saying ‘I did nothing wrong I told the truth. So what the heck happened?!” she continued.

Abby Huntsman said if Smollett wasn’t “a well-known person,” it’s doubtful he’d be in this position right now.

Ana Navarro added at one point, “Sometimes people are guilty of criminality but if you can’t prove it, some folks decide not to prosecute. Sound familiar?”

Meghan McCain reminded people of the supposed political nature of the attack in the beginning and how it may have been “more believable” without throwing in the MAGA element.

Joy Behar added that if a real incident like this happens in the future, people aren’t going to believe it. Hostin added that there’s a serious increase in hate crimes across the country that needs to be addressed.

I can’t imagine that this is over. I hope the FBI looks into pressing federal charges against this idiot, even if Chicago is too corrupt to have any sense of justice at all….
