Jussie Smollett Charges Dropped Over Alleged Attack Hoax
The Blast ^ | By Daniel Goldblatt

Posted on 03/26/2019 8:20:10 AM PDT by DCBryan1

Jussie Smollett is in the clear after the District Attorney in Cook County dropped all charges against the “Empire” star over allegations he lied to police in faking an alleged hate crime against himself.

According to reports, the state filed the motion to dismiss the case and the judge signed off. The judge also granted a motion to seal the case, according to Charlie De Mar of CBS Chicago.

Jussie Smollett is expected to speak to the media once the hearing has concluded.

Smollett’s attorneys released a statement saying, “Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgment.”

WTH?!

His actions were hate speech and had this been some white male hed be already incarcerated and convicted without a trial.

But because he’s black and gay and a dem he’s politically let off.

Justice is DEAD in this country

This has to be satire. Or did Avenatti and Geragos shakedown the Chicago PD?

Will they still be looking for the white racists? Would Jussie take a lie detector test?
