I am Chris Cuomo, no Kaloa for me, but welcome to Primetime.

Tonight, the Jesse Smollett prosecutors trying to explain a move that has the police and the mayor there

fuming. The charges are dropped there, but the cases had been straight to Cuomo's court.

And a new scare for the Boeing 737 MAX-8 jet this time in the sky over Florida.

What was it doing in the air in the first place? And the president stops his victory dance just

long enough to try to trample all over Obamacare, a new attacking court that threatens to up-end

One of the president's big backers in Congress, Sean Duffy, is here. Can he make a compelling case

for the move? The closing argument. Why is the president saying the Mueller report is great

when he hasn't seen it? We don't know enough. Maybe the president thinks he does, but the case for

clarity will be made. What do you say? Let's get after it.

All right, it's a good night to be Jesse Smollett, the same prosecutors who say they had the empire

an explanation. The outrage and disbelief got cranked up to 11 after Chicago brass got word,

the investigation of a supposed hate crime turned hoax was all for nothing.

Do I think justice was served? No. This is without a doubt a white watcher justice and sends a

mechlear message that if you're in a position of influence and power, you'll get treated one

way. Other people will be treated another way. There is no accountability then in the system.

It is wrong. Full stop. So let's look at the court papers. Can't case has been sealed. That's

what happens when you drop charges. Smollett's record expunge. So why were they so good to someone

that they said did something so bad? In a cryptic statement, prosecutors noted circumstances,

including Mr. Smollett's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond.
