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.”

If this POS got away with his initial intentions, there would be a race war that the media and politicians would piss gasoline on the fury well into the 2020 election cycle.

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx said in a statement, ""After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollet's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case."

"AGREEMENT TO FORFEIT HIS BOND TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO"

That's all you need to know ... It's the Chicago way ... Pay to Play. Apparently the FEE for getting out of Jail in Chicago for a series of Felony charges is $100,000.00. Pay it, forfeit it and get out of jail!

They had the check he paid to the two brothers. He paid them for something.

"Consulting"

Hope the feds pick up the case as mail fraud and tie Juicy Smellit’s DNA to the envelope. Then we will see Chicago try to back peddle this HOAX.

I was going to post this as well. This is to distract from Trump being able to do a victory lap after the Mueller Report clears his name of any COLLUSION.

Obama is behind this. He wants to protect the other blacks in congress that ARE behind this; Booker and Kamala.

The minute I read that the “attackers” yelled “This is MAGA country” I knew it was a hoax.

False flags and hoaxes to try and manipulate public opinion is all these people have and it boils down to Trump Derangement Syndrome.

If nothing else they should be convicted for not trying hard enough and insulting America’s intelligence.

I believe the check said “training.”

There must be some kind of issue with how believable the brothers would be testifying vs. Smollett.

This stinks of something coming out of a Dem thinktank to counter President Trump’s exoneration. Replace Trump headlines with one of an obviously guilty man being declared innocent so low info voters will assume the same occurred in the Trump case.

I dont want to hear ONE MORE WORD about WHITE PRIVILEGE its all about CONNECTIONS and LIBERAL PRIVILEGE that is what this is all about..the Obamas and Kamala Harris had a backroom deal getting Jussie off..notice the DA statement, she never said that Jussie was INNOCENT..look at Jussie’s face during his lil press conference, he looked like someone who KNEW he got off scott free because of CONNECTIONS..Michelle Obama and DA Kim Foxx are best buddies..can you imagine if Jussie had connections to the Trump family and they got him off it would be OUTRAGEOUS, but since its the Obamas you wont hear a peep..people, that is what REAL collusion looks like

The KEYWORDS from your post #38 "Let’s hope" are the very reason we keep putting up with this crap.

"HOPE" is a whore and a cheat. It's what those who eventually accept inequity always hold on to as their "life preserver."

JUSTICE in the form of HONEST INDICTMENTS and PROSECUTIONS should be "HOPE'S" replacement... but alas, we'll acquiesce to eating the NEXT warm bowl of $hit that's served up while mumbling and groaning.

I ALWAYS believed that Kamala Harris was in on this..she was the first time to spew her idiocy about that bill she wanted to pass the Senate, the anti lynching bill remember..she and the Smollett family are VERY close
