Let the coverup begin!

The media will now launch the largest and most massive coverup in history.

They will blast this story from the public consciousness by a massive onslaught of fake news on a thousand other subjects.

Last night they had a guy from Chicago talking about how nobody pays attention to the real crimes committed in the city (that kill people); Mark Fuhrman then talked about how over a dozen detectives were assigned to this hoax instead of dealing with those serious crimes.

I don’t see this unassimilated deviant walking away from this unscathed.

In the middle of the night? Did he bring a Subway sammich with him?

Did he warrant a heavily armed 21 man SWAT team with armored amphibious vehicles?

If not, I'm calling homophobic racism!

He provided the rope to hang himself.

Am guessing it was preceded by a phone call from his attorney.

And a notification to CNN...

You can’t make this stuff up.... Well... I guess Jussie can, but you still can’t.

Jussie Smollett will get the intimate warm welcome from his “fellow” prison mates he so justly deserves. Whatever goes around comes around. Case closed.

Yes, Americans, cast your votes for the Democrat Party and destroy America, your freedoms, your liberties, your opportunities, your future and your children’s future.

Since this little fiasco got started there have been over 200 shootings and over 50 murders in the City of Chicago, almost none of them have been solved. This clown Smollet wasted thousands of hours of police work and likely over $1,000,000 in resources.

Trust me, the Chicago PD is not amused. Look for the Cook County Prosecutor to drop a hammer on him and demand some prison time. Then there’s the small matter of the US Postal Service wanting their pound of flesh.

His little stunt with the US Mail is a very, very serious matter. Once Cook County is done with him the Postal Service, which has its own Enforcement powers including arrests, is gonna come down on him like a ton of bricks.

Smollet is done. Stick a fork in him. His career is over. He won’t be showing up on that stupid TV show for quite some time.

Including 1 year old Baby Chase. I wonder how many cops/detectives the CPD has working Chase Irving’s case...

The guy who took over for Kim Foxx is no better.

I have zero faith in any justice being delivered by Crook County.

Maybe the Feds. But I have little faith in them anymore.

"That's not the best way to wake up in the morning. That 5:30 a.m. knock at the door."

Apparently he turned himself in at 5:15 am.

I’m also wondering if the state could have charged this expletive-deleted with a whole lot more...and refused to do it.

His slimy NAACP lawyer will plead it down to a misdemeanor and the slimy Rat Party judge will rule “continued without a finding”.

Did the Chicago police come with 30 or so swat members to get this perp like the fbi did?

“I have zero faith in any justice being delivered by Crook County.”

Smollet did something here that’s not illegal but will draw serious blowback just the same. He embarrassed the Powers That Be. All those folks who jumped on the bandwagon now have egg on their faces including the Mayor.

No, Smollet is fresh out of friends in Cook County.

And that is a very good thing.

He lied to Robin Roberts!!!

Didn’t all of those body language experts see he was lying. /s

When Robin Roberts refers to the !brothers! , I forget they are actual brothers.

He would have done anything to avoid a perp walk and apparently did.
