The overturning of his conviction is an embarrassment for prosecutors but not remotely a vindication for Smollett.

Exactly; it was a case of “the state had an agreement with the defendant, and then changed their minds and decided to charge and convict him anyway.” In no way did it exonerate him.

Exactly correct. But if he were Trump, he’d be screaming from the rooftops that this constitutes “COMPLETE AND TOTAL VINDICATION” for him.

I’m not sure if Smollett is brazen enough to try this tack and pull it off, though.
