CHICAGO (CBS) — Jussie Smollett is now facing deeper legal troubles after a grand jury returned 16 federal counts against the actor for falsely reporting a hate crime attack against him in January.

The grand jury returned the disorderly conduct indictment on Thursday.

“Jussie Smollett knew that at the time … there was no reasonable ground for believing that such offenses had been committed,” according to the indictment.

The amount of time and money spent all for a lie to make Trump supporter look evil. It wasn’t even for the money, but for fame.

One sick messed up f$$$.

It’s not over until he’s convicted and imprisoned.

HAHAHAH! Ohhhhhh ... Really rolling on the floor, splitting a gut. Talk about a backfire.

I wonder how the racists and queer-baiters are going to spin this.

Robin Roberts has about 2 dozen eggs on her face.\

She certainly owes her viewers an apology.

The Kool Aid drinkers were running full bore.

Maybe he’ll go where he can have all the gay prison sex he desires. He then can cry that he was attacked by MAGA supporters again.

He has federal charges for sending that letter to himself through the mail. That should earn him some time.

People don’t realize, messing with the postal service; using it for threats; they take it VERY serious.
I have a close relative that was on the receiving end of some nasty grams from some psycho and it was local PD, local postal inspector general; only reason FBI was not involved is because there was no actual “threat” in the letters.
That guy and his “bro’s” have some serious charges on their hands.

It goes beyond filing a false police report; sending money in furtherance of a crime, wire mail fraud and other charges.

Smollet had no excuse for what he did. The publicity wasn’t worth it.
