Chicago PD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Smollett was charged with filing a false police report, a felony, after the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the criminal complaint. Cops were seeking to have Smollett turn himself in as soon as possible, Gugliemi said.

“We’re trying to get in touch with his lawyers,” he told The Post.

Under Illinois law, Smollett, 36, could face up to three years in prison if convicted of the crime.

But he so expected to just be believed because he’s homo and black and stuff.

He expected to be a hero to the other SJWs.

If nothing else, old Jussie has caused a slight change in the popular vernacular. Instead of “it doesn’t pass the smell test”, we can use “it doesn’t pass the SMOLLETT test”.

We should mock these people with: "SJW == Social Jussie Warrior".

But what should Social Jussie Warriors look like? Like two Nigerians? Black antifada masks? Blackface?

It is good to see Chicago PD working to take another thug off the streets. Hopefully they will lock him up for as long as possible.

Maybe now Fox entertainment will finally ditch him. Or will they wait until he shoots a few white people?

And right on cue, Yahoo News has a big White Supremacist murder plot on their news page. Anyone else see that? Great timing. Next up: a school shooting?

Very true. Being homosexual and being Negro gives him membership in honored grievance groups in the liberal univery.

The righteous indignation spewing out from his attorneys tomorrow will create a hazardous waste alert.

This hoax is no different than the investigation into Trump. It’s a concerted effort to smear Trump and us. I’d bet the farm that someone or a group is behind Smellits hoax.

Trump has an excellent legal argument to keep her out. She was the daughter of a Yemini diplomat and as such does not receive birthright citizenship. Her side will argue that at the time of her birth, the father was no longer a diplomat. It can go all the way to the Supreme Court. However as long as Trump is President, she won’t be allowed to legally enter the US. Of course if the Democrats returned to the White House, they would welcome her.

If there really had been two MAGA guys who beat this character up, would they be negotiating with them? Smollett is really getting kid-gloves treatment - one slap on the wrist coming up.

That’ll really rile up the three people that still go to Yahoo.
