Jussie Smollett is facing felony charges in Chicago again -- the special prosecutor just announced an indictment against the actor for the alleged homophobic attack against him last year.

A grand jury handed up the new indictment against Jussie on Tuesday. Dan Webb was appointed special prosecutor for the case last summer. We're told he's now facing 6 felony counts for lying to law enforcement. The indictment calls the 6 charges "disorderly conduct," but all 6 involve allegations of lying to cops.

Smollett is STUPID. And his attorney(s) is/are BEYOND stupid. Foxx, or whoever, threw him a bone last year with the 130K thing that now appears to have been — at least on their part — pure genius. Reimburses the cops for the investigation, shows they aren’t letting him off (even though they are), and more or less made things go away about as quickly as possible. So what does he do? Puts his middle finger back in their face and says screw you; no way I’m paying.

Had he paid, he would definitely had a sound double jeopardy argument now. As it stands, he is almost certainly going to do some jail time. He probably could have negotiated that 130K down a little, too.

“Smollett is STUPID.”

oh, absolutely ... he demonstrated just how stupid he was right off the bat when he faked the fake racial attack so unbelievably unbelievable and left a trail of breadcrumbs three feet wide and a foot deep to all of the evidence and his accomplices ...
