    Prosecutors dropping the charges against Smollett does not not conclude that he committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him..on questions of creating a hoax...

    Sealed records can be unsealed..and have been in the past.

    I was going to comment further on this. I was going to comment on brother sundance's post, which has a lot of wild stuff in it. Some I agree with, some I don't. Then I pondered, :Why?" This is a dumb arsed thread about a dumb arsed crime perpetrated by a dumb arsed man. It's a travesty that he won't see jail time but guys have gotten off for worse and I am content with him losing his career. And I whole heartedly believe this is a lone act not some huge conspiracy that goes to the highest levels of politics. We should be thankful it wasn't a huge conapiracy. If it was, he wouldn't have been caught and it would've had it's desired effect of stoking racial attention. Again, ask yourself: If it would've been a conspiracy, would they have gotten two huge Nigerians to play the attackers? Do you think it would be that hard to hire a few white actors? Pros that won't be picked up and easily identified on camera. The shear idea of it is contradictory.

    Hold on a minute ....This event has not played out ...yet.

    Jussie Smollett’s lawyer didn’t rule out the actor filing a lawsuit after all charges against him in his high-profile attack case were dropped.

     Smollet and his legal team said they are currently “weighing our options”..

    With the circle of friends he has in high places, he would likely win.

    If things could not get any stranger ..Foxx’s recusal was not publicly announced until Feb. 19, the day before charges were filed against Smollett. Foxx turned over the case to her top deputy Joseph Magats, without explanation.

    Now the Fraternal Order of Police president Kevin Graham explained in a statement, “That recusal is wholly insufficient.  In order for Ms. Foxx to properly charge and try this case, her entire office should have recused itself and a special prosecutor been appointed.”

    In a statement Wednesday, Crook County State’s Attorney spox Kiera Ellis said Foxx “did not formally recuse herself or the [State’s Attorney] Office based on any actual conflict of interest. As a result, she did not have to seek the appointment of a special prosecutor.”

    According to Ellis, Foxx’s announcement that she had recused herself “was a colloquial use of the term rather than in its legal sense.”     Oh!  I see the old colloquial trick ...the unacceptably informal recuse..

    Now,,some people in Chicago are saying..Smollett is close to the Obama's as Hillary's thighs..

    I was referring to the media getting played. I don't recall anyone calling BS in the media.  I'm sure you will continue to give all the details in this case.

    Not everyone. There are many, including people on this site, who smelled bullshyt from the start.

    I was referring to the media getting played. I don't recall anyone calling BS in the media.  I'm sure you will continue to give all the details in this case.

     Kim Foxx turned over the case to her top deputy Joseph Magats..who flat out said he believes the actor lied to the police.  He told CBS Chicago “I do not believe [Jussie] is innocent,”

    The assistant state's attorney Joe MAGAts( who made the final decision to drop the charges against Jussie Smollett) added "We believe he did what he was charged with doing.”

    So, why was he allowed to go free?

    Kim Foxx claims he was allowed to go free because he has no criminal background ... But this wasn't the first Smollett gave false information to the police...Jussie Smollett lied to police in 2007 by claiming he was his younger brother Jake after being pulled over for a DUI..  Charged and convicted...The actor pleaded no contest to giving false information in addition to driving under the influence and driving without a valid license, according to records obtained by NBC. was given two years probation

    Ok, now someone has some splaining to do .. and I don't care.. if Obama had a son he would look like ....

    I will? I wouldn't have even heard about this case if not for covers bros. I can't stress enough how little I pay attention to the media, mainstream, fringe, social, or otherwise. I think teeth was maybe the first one to bring this to my attention.

    Public interest on the Smollett story is definitely not going away anytime soon... not when we have "open warfare" between the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

    Also,, what about Abimbola and Olabinjo the two brothers that Smollett said ah, ah, were training him...Chicago police provided a six-night hotel stay with separate rooms and 24-hour security to two brothers who said they were paid by Smollett to stage a racist, anti-happy attack on him, according to investigative reports released Wednesday to several media outlets.

    Smollett attorney, Tina Glandian, told “Good Morning America” that the two brothers were lying.

    However,, Gloria Schmidt,the attorney who has represented the brothers said that the pair did not testify as part of any plea deal and that they were not granted any immunity from prosecution.

    In an interview with AP earlier this month, she said the brothers regretted their involvement.  “They were thinking, ‘I’m going to help my friend. He’s asking for this,’” she said.

    If, it was not the brothers that attacked Smollett ..are the Chicago police still looking for the two MAGA hat wearing thugs that brutalized Smollett as he fought them off with a Subway sandwich ?

     I don't think so...

    I know it and you know it but in a court off law, he lied about being attacked. The rest of it, his motives, it's all conjecture. Those are the facts. I'm not defending this piece of shyt and I wasn't trying to disrespect you. What I am saying is even a regular person would probably walk on something like this. We make it into this huge conspiracy in our heads, and maybe it is, but that's not how the legal system works. There's zero proof of his motives so to them, his crime is essentially filing a false police report.

    It would be the best instance of a boy crying wolf. I'd like it even better if a couple black dudes worked him over. Like has been covered in this thread, he knew what he was doing. What if the racial tension didn't go nationwide but did ignite in Chicago. Does that city really need anymore trouble. He deserves whatever befalls him  i hope he dies broke and alone. "I was on a TV show once. I could've been something."

    Yep. Such a great movie. The old man showed me that one when I was a kid. Now I kind of regret even using the reference on a piece of shyt like Smollett. If the media was worth anything, this could've been a watershed moment for our country. A moment to take a pause and ask, "What the f*ck?! How did we get to this point? How did we let it fall so far?" But the media has such a vested interest in keeping us divided, they never would. And it's not just the MSM. All media plays along. It's really sad. We all really need to wake up. And nobody seems to be pushing that agenda. We have white politicians talking about slavery reparations. I grew up in an all black neighborhood. My father and uncle were Black Studies professors. I never heard talk of reparations. The closest thing was jokes about how we never recieved or 40 acres and mule. Now it'a all the rage. Do you know what purpose talks of reparations serves? Making one groups dispise another. It'll never happen and would be impossible to implement so what's really the purpose if not to stoke the fires of division? The media and thess politicians are something else. Something evil.

    Actor Jussie Smollett‘s attorney Tina Glandian, suggested the Osundairo brothers, two Nigerian men who claim Smollett hired them to stage a hate crime, may have been wearing “whiteface” during the incident.

    That's it ,,why didn't someone think about that before ?

      Honestly!   Could you write a better script for a TV series ,that the Smollett story ?   

    Today after President Trump said in a Thursday morning tweet that the Justice Department and the FBI will review charges being dismissed against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.

    “FBI & DOJ to review the outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago. It is an embarrassment to our Nation!”

    Now the Mayor of Chicago Rahm (the tiny dancer) Emanuell said Trump should “sit this one out” and announced the city will send Smollett a bill ( 130K ) to recoup the costs of the investigations..

    Not to be left out of the scrum Smollett’s defense team shot back: “It is the Mayor and the Police Chief who owe Jussie — owe him an apology — for dragging an innocent man’s character through the mud. Jussie has paid enough...

    To add to the excitement the union that represents Chicago police officers is organizing a protest at 11 a.m. Monday outside of State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office, 69 W. Washington St.

    “We’re going to protest the way this case was handled and how several other cases were handled,” said Patrick Murray, first vice president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7.

    Murray said the union believes Foxx never “fully recused” herself from the Smollett case.

    I was willing to let this go away. Even though I think he's scum who should be in jail, I was willing to let it go away. That is, until he and his defense team opened their traps. Now I am praying to god there are federal charges. This dude is scumbag. His lawyer is a scumbag. It's such a slap in the face to see him get away with what he did only to have him continue to play the victim. The interview where his lawyer mentions the whiteface is maybe one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen or heard. I hope he goes to Jail and gets housed in the Aryan block.

    I was willing to let this go away. Even though I think he's scum who should be in jail, I was willing to let it go away. That is, until he and his defense team opened their traps. Now I am praying to god there are federal charges. This dude is scumbag. His lawyer is a scumbag. It's such a slap in the face to see him get away with what he did only to have him continue to play the victim. The interview where his lawyer mentions the whiteface is maybe one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen or heard. I hope he goes to Jail and gets housed in the Aryan block.
