NBC Nightly News just reported that Smollett is about to be arrested.

Reporter said.... Police have their man.

Notice none of them were worried about backlash against all white people, Trump supporters, etc.

Still looking for the collusion statute. I know it’s around here someplace.

...”Empire” actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report about an attack he said occurred as he walked to his apartment building in Streeterville last month.

The charge, a felony, was announced by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office Wednesday evening, hours after police called Smollett “a suspect in a criminal investigation … for filing a false police report.”...

Has the governor pardoned him yet?

The Senate signed the bill in December, soon after Harris inserted language that added ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, OR DISABILITY to the original list of ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN as federally protected classes.

Now that "lynching" is defined as "two or more persons who willfully cause bodily injury to someone" in a protected class, will this be the proverbial camel's nose under the tent?

Does he get a last Subway?

Not to worry. He'll get more than his share of footlongs, where he's going.

You post a thread, you post a supporting link.

Freeper Conserv posted an eyewitness account of a local television broadcast. There's no way to provide a link to that report unless it's been posted to YouTube.

I appreciate the Freeper taking the time to inform the rest of us.

I hope he doesn't need a butt plug after being put into the Cook County correctional system. Papilloma warts in that area I understand are really uncomfortable.

Anybody in politics would know that the risks of being involved in a fake hate crime outweigh any possible gain.

Booker and Harris stupidly believed Smollett's story about what happened.

But even they weren't dumb enough to think that he would be any kind of valuable political operative, somebody they could trust with some complicated covert operation.

[Windflier]

this is his third fraud case.

Third? I knew about the fake beatdown and the letter. That's two. What's the third one?

[rktman]

Back to the set of Empire?

[rktman]

FReePolice alert! FReePolice alert! LOL!

[humblegunner]

Some DWI stunt he pulled in LA,, giving false info.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I think it was 2007 — he got a DWI and gave his brother’s name instead of his own.....

[rktman]

Sumfin’ from 2007 I believe.

”I turned it on a little early because I’m about to watch Judge Judy.”

Not to hijack the thread, but...

Wouldn’t you love to see Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein and Strzok in Judge Judy’s court? She’d rip ‘em to shreds...

I want back up! Give me Bunko! Get me Homicide! Get me squad cars! Alright all of you punks outta the car get in the car! All of you punks in the car get outta the car!
