This story has been overwhelming the news for quite a while now. That makes me wonder if it is just a big distraction. There may very well be things going on that some would rather we ignore. There are a few important issues that we are no longer talking about. I don't think that is merely coincidental.

They blamed Trump for causing him to be attacked in his fake story. Now that hes proving to be a liar on the whole incident, the libs are still blaming Trump...now for causing Smollett to dream up the scheme in the first place. Trump cant win with libs, no matter what he does, even if its something they want. If he dropped the whole wall thing completely, they would then say we need better border security and its the Presidents job to do whatever it takes. Is there some kind of poison you can put in the water or air that would kill only liberals....

The Police were able to use these cameras to track down the "real criminals" in this case... Why are so many gun crimes going unsolved in Chicago?



Because it is not gun crime,.it is gang crime.

Jussie Smollett's check to brothers written before 'Empire' actor accused of staging attack obtained by ABC News @ 6ABC
rogergarrison FEB 25, 01:48 PM
Whats written on the memo line of the check is kind of worthless info. He planned the whole thing, so why would he not write something in that line thats totally a lie. I could write someone a check with the statement paid in full for 1965 Ford, even if its actually hit money for a murder. The two brothers themselves say it was payment for the faked attack. I dont even know if they know how to read english, so he could write anything he wanted on the check and they wouldnt have a clue. I would bet money he wouldnt write ' payment for fake attack ' on the check.

This entire sad and pathetic tale of the usual leftist fraud and jackassery is thankfully winding down.

That said, I'll just drop this here as a reminder for future fakery like this that is absolutely certain to come.




The truth almost always eventually comes out, it just takes time, and it is NEVER what the leftist media originally told you.

How sad is it when comic strips make more sense and tell more truth than the "news sources" and the people who are elected to run the Country?

It’s starting to look like he might actually get what he’s got coming.
16 Felon count indictment.


Embattled TV star Jussie Smollett's legal problems have just become significantly more serious as a Cook County grand jury has returned a 16-count true bill of charges against him in connection with his alleged falsification of a hate crime in Streeterville in late January.
Smollet was charged with a single count of felony disorderly conduct-false report last month based on allegations brought by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

But, CWBChicago has learned that a grand jury has now returned a total of 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct-false report against the former star of Empire on Fox.

The grand jury's true bill states that Smollett lied about the attack to two separate police officers--the beat cop who took his initial report and a detective who conducted a follow-up interview the same day.

In one set of charges, the grand jury found that Smollet filed a false police report around 2 a.m. on Jan. 29th in which he told an officer that he was attacked near 341 East Lower North Water Street by two unknown men who were dressed in black and one of whom wore a ski mask. The jury further found that Smollett told the original officer that the attackers called him racial and homophobic slurs and struck him in the face with their hands. The police report connected to these charges also indicate that Smollett claimed that a noose had been placed around his neck and a "chemical" had been poured on him.

The second set of charges returned by the grand jury involves Smollett's alleged false reporting of the incident to a police detective later the same day. Additional details that Smollett apparently included in the second interview include: the men approached him from behind, Smollett fought back, and all three men fell to the ground where Smollett said he was kicked in the back and felt someone pulling on his neck. During this interview, Smollett also told the officer that one offender was a white male wearing a black mask with an open area around the eyes that exposed the attacker's skin, the grand jury found.

While announcing the initial charge against Smollett last month, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said his department believed that Smollett was also responsible for mailing a threat letter to himself that set the stage for the purported hate crime. Nonetheless, no charges were brought against Smollett in connection with the letter by the grand jury.

The new charges against Smollett each carry a potential sentence of probation to four years if convicted. Realistically, though, Smollett is unlikely to be convicted on more than a fraction of the charges. Most Cook County criminal cases are resolved through plea bargains in which a defendant pleads guilty to one and, rarely, two counts of an indictment in return for a favorable sentence. Only by going to trial do most defendants run the real risk of being convicted of more than one or two counts.

National news outlets have been reporting since Smollett's arrest that he had already been "indicted" by a grand jury. As CWBChicago has repeatedly reported, those outlets were incorrect. Shortly before Smollett's arrest, a grand jury was convened in a so-called "John Doe case," a legal maneuver that is designed to lock in the testimony of key witnesses under oath to minimize the risk of that testimony changing later and to preserve the testimony should a witness go missing.

Smollett's attorneys are due back in court next week.

I saw that this morning too. Chicago police filed 16 felony charges, and several federal charges are coming, including a couple of mail felonies. I heard EACH charge is worth up to 3 years. I hope he gets 40+ years. I dont hear too much from liberals right now...I think their hiding in closets hoping the whole thing goes away. Time to get out that Mueller Report to take the attention off them. BS, BS, Divert...repeat.
