So Who Benefits?

Crimesha doesn't have the power or authority to make such a boneheaded move on her own. In fact, she sent her deputy, the person nominally in charge of the prosecution since Crimesha "recused" herself, and let him take all the heat for the "decision." So who did? And who benefits, especially with a mayoral election mere days away.

• The obvious choice for finger pointing is Prickwrinkle herself. She's losing badly in every single poll, nearly 60% to low 20%. She needs to shake up her base. Is she trying to rouse the "community"? This might backfire and the decent people are sick and tired of the connected people using them as props.
• Rahm? He put on a decent performance, but he has connections in Hollywood, needs a new gig away from politics for a while while he plots to take Dickhead Turban Durbin's spot. Special Ed is Rahm's prop - the Accidental Supernintendo who didn't even apply for the job ends up on every TV show and interviewing constantly - but to what end? A new gig? Preserving his old gig? Doing what he was told by other powers, namely Rahm?
• Maybe a Crimesha power play to remove herself from Prickwrinkle's orbit and losing election apparatus? She was in Hollywood for the Oscars making all sorts of connections and ends up getting text messages from Mrs. Obama's Chief of Staff asking for political favors resulting in her recusal....which ends up not being much of a recusal.

We get the feeling something else is going on here.
