Team Trump expressed anger at Chicago’s decision Tuesday to drop charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett of disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police about a hate crime conducted by supporters of President Trump.

In a series of tweets, supporters of the president rapped the decision as a double standard decided by liberal, pro-Obama officials in the city. Donald Trump Jr. had one word for the shocking turnaround in the case: "Disgusting."

“Chicago once again proves itself to be the MOST CORRUPT City in America. @BarackObama’s home town is absent any rule-of-law. How appropriate,” tweeted former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka.

“So I guess if you're a famous Democrat in Chicago, this is what 'justice' looks like? Not corrupt at all,” tweeted former Trump aide Andrew Surabian, an adviser to Donald Trump Jr., who retweeted those comments.

Charlie Kirk, who heads the pro-Trump activist Turning Point USA, tweeted, “We have a two tiered justice system. If you are a Democrat, like Smollett, you get away with faking hate crimes. Prosecutor said it made no difference to prosecute because he had already done community service. If he had been a Trump supporter faking a crime he would be in prison.”

In a second post, he tweeted, “I think William Barr should instruct the Department of Justice to prosecute Jussie Smollett in federal court. No one is above the law, including people that hate Trump. Prosecute him to the fullest extent.”

Some, like One America News host Jack Posobiec, said the evidence was greater against Smollett than some prosecuted in the Russia collusion case.

“We have concrete, ironclad evidence Jussie Smollett filed false police report. There was no evidence Flynn/Stone/Papa conspired with Russia. Guess which ones got prosecuted?” he tweeted.

Initial reporting on the case indicated that the alleged attackers wore red pro-Trump hats, but Smollett later denied making that claim.

Police had said he initially said he was attacked on Jan. 29 by two men who barked racist and homophobic slurs, one wearing a red hat. Police later said the hate crime attack was staged.
