BTW this is not smollett's first offense. He pleaded no contest to a DUI and lying to police in 2007 and got 2 years probation for it.

Thanks. Good info. Maybe it was only a misdemeanor? >10 years ago? I just don't know. I would assume there must be some kind of statement or public record in which the Judge and DA must ultimately record their decision. We need to watch for that.

And get his raise because apparently $100K an episode wasn’t enough for him.

We predicted it would be a slap on the wrist with community service. Prediction confirmed.

Now for the federal case of the letter he sent to himself. DNA is being checked.

“I can tell you that Chicago Police are furious over State Attorney Kim Foxx’s decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett,” added Rafer Weigel of Fox Chicago. Officers told Rob Elgas of ABC Chicago that Johnson wasn’t told about the charges being dropped and learned about it while at a scheduled police graduation at Navy Pier.

The Bible mandates equal punishment for the lying accuser to discourage false accusations. When you don’t punish the liar, it doesn’t just violate the rights of their victim. It undermines justice, because the system doesn’t discourage false accusations.
They’ve just opened the door to more fake hate crimes.

Rafer Weigel: More The community service according to #Smollett defense team was done prior for something not related to this case. It just gets more confusing.

Proof positive the hoax was a DS false flag hit on Trump and us, the deplorables. It was intended as a distraction from the Mueller Report that went haywire and was airbrushed away by Moochelle and the corrupt Chicago machine. It’s more banana republic corruption on display.

I think this was retaliation for Mueller “clearing” Trump.

Yup. Rush is being bombarded by callers from Chicago saying the exact same thing.

I wonder if the Justice Brothers got involved in the background.


I’m sure they were involved. I’m also sure BathHouse Barry and Chewbacca were involved, along with the current Chicago Thug Machine.

......totally complicit with the fake news media, of course.
