Jussie Smollett Insisted Brett Kavanaugh Did Not Deserve Presumption of Innocence
Breitbart ^ | 21 Feb 2019 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 02/21/2019 2:12:08 PM PST by detective

With the arrest Thursday morning of Empire star Jussie Smollett, the actor’s defense team put out a statement celebrating the fact that he was afforded the “presumption of innocence” like any other citizen. But last, year Smollett himself insisted that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was guilty until proven innocent.

Jussie Smollett turned himself in early on Thursday morning, and the Chicago Police processed him into the system. Concurrent with his arrest, the actor’s team put out a statement reasserting Smollett’s “presumption of innocence” and slamming the Chicago Police for “leaking” information about the investigation to the press.

“Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been reportedly leaked. Given these circumstances, we intend to conduct a thorough investigation and to mount an aggressive defense.”

Is anyone really surprised at hypocrisy from someone on the Left?

Frauds are everywhere y’all. Protect the mind, heart and spirit of you and your people at all costs. Just remember... Salt, cocaine and anthrax can all appear to be sugar...(the “refined” kind of course) just be careful out here fam. Happy Sunday. Love you. Real talk. Love on.— Jussie Smollett (@JussieSmollett) January 27, 2019

Hats off to Chicago PD. Well done.

They did a good job, yes, but I do have a problem with the press conference where they failed to mention that everyone with a MAGA hat was smeared with this accusation.

Smollett

A small million dollar bitter chicken herb meal, prepared by lowering the carcass in very not water.

Tastes better basted with a Liberal amount of anti-White racism, fraud, lies, and subterfuge...

It's already on Urban Dictionary

Smollett

Hiring people to kick your ass so you can make yourself into a fake victim, hoping to become impossible to fire from your job.

Maybe he just thought Judge Kavanaugh wasn’t a “Citizen”.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Oh Kamel-toe, say a prayer for me
Jussie’s back in Chi-town, it won’t be easy
Don’t let him near me
Don’t let him bull-shit me
Don’t let him scam me
Jussie, I won’t cut magazine clippings for you
Jussie, I won’t send the letter for you
Jussie, I won’t knot the clothesline for you
I won’t put on MAGA hats
I won’t pour the bleach on you
Corey, keep reminding me
That he cut out the letters like a paper doll
Maxie, tell me once again
How he set us up just to see Trump fall
Jussie, quick come here
I won’t tell the cops
Not even my bro
Jussie, that you need some more dough
My friends will all say “A Nigerian email from a Prince is better”
But how can anyone know what a wash-up you are
But I gotz me sum cash cuz you know I needz it
Oh Jussie!
Jussie, I won’t cut magazine clippings for you
Jussie, I won’t send the letter for you
Jussie, I won’t knot the clothesline for you
I won’t put on MAGA hats
I won’t pour the bleach on you
Jussie, let’s drop the soap low
And have some cham-pipple
Which will get us stoned
My friends, hey, screw them
They’re feeling bad
They think I’ve sunk so low…but they know
Jussie, I won’t cut magazine clippings for you
Jussie, I won’t send the letter for you
Jussie, I won’t knot the clothesline for you
I won’t put on MAGA hats
I won’t pour the bleach on you
