Two Sets of Laws

One for the connected, one for you.

Let’s start here for an overview. But that’s just the beginning.

And then, ‘As If It Never Existed:’ Cook County Clerk’s Office Stunned as Smollett Case File Vanishes From Records System.

And, in a variation on the same theme, Report: Cook County Clerk Shocked That No Written Motions Were Filed In Dismissal Of Smollett’s Case (not sure how cleanly Hot Air comes up).

But the most interesting to me was a tweet from Randy Barnett:

None of this is normal—even for Crook County where I was an Assistant State’s Attorney. Educated guess: this hoax implicated someone very important who had pull with the State’s Attorney, and who very badly did not want to be implicated.
