Charges against Jussie Smollett dropped, attorneys say
ABC Chicago ^ | 03/26/19 | Staff

Posted on 03/26/2019 8:20:47 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Charges against actor Jussie Smollett have been dropped, his attorneys said Tuesday.

Smollett is in court to make an emergency court appearance.

In a statement, Smollett's attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes said, "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 judgement.

Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result.

Jussie is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career."

Thick as thieves.

Smollett and the Obama’s are seen in a pic on that story. Gotta protect their pet Jussie.

BTW It looks like they’re trying to set these two up for the full fall.

They had the associates on camera buying the how to hoax a hate crime kit at the hardware store.

The CPD are unhappy, they said the way to show you're innocent is to get your day in court and not some secret dealings.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel pretended to express outrage too.

I read a comment somewhere the DA used some Michigan law for first time felons aimed at keeping black men out of jail. It drops the charges, seals the case, has a community service component.

We can hope the feds press forward because there's no way this is JUSTICE.

He's still claiming to have "told the truth" when we know the actual "attackers" were not white MAGA hat wearing perps.

I admire the Democrats. they see politics as War, and they kill for their side. Our side is going to do absolutely nothing regarding the attempted Coup, after all, the Democrats might get Mad at us.

I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t some kind of poke-in-the-eye for the Mueller report.

This is totally believable. The liberal wing of the justice system just confirmed it’s bigotry in spades. This was an act of anti-white bigotry by Smollett’s and this prosecutor. And this trend of anti-white bias has not peaked by any stretch of the imagination.

White folks need to wake up. All I’m asking for is more vigilance and whites to regain some since of self worth. The alternative will be second class citizenship, given that whites will be a minority without hate crime protection and affirmative action stealing their opportunities. After that I shudder to think what will happen.

HE'LL DO IT AGAIN.

Smokeit thinks he's acted his way through this, that he won. But at least the reporting revealed he's on shaky ground financially, mentally, emotionally, and certainly spiritually. Even legally, if Trump can drop the Federal Mail Fraud anvil on him.

There is nothing preventing this strange, disturbed, quite possibly possessed narcissistic attention whore from perpetrating another hoax, and he has every reason to believe that there is nothing preventing him from getting away with it.

It's not far-fetched.

Look at even the Amish with oblique assurances of getting him fired from "Empire". Drudge featured a Deadline.com earlier today with a marquee...

CUT: 'EMPIRE' Returning, Smollett Won't...
...but there is nothing in the article that says Smokeit is actually fired, just that his contract is up in June and pure speculation it won't be picked up again.

Bobo's mac daddy cabal took the initial invest against Smokeit and the accompanying MSM #Narrative and -- with one conference call -- derailed it by using a notorious Democrat PBC State's Atty to pre-empt a fairly casual police invest against Kraft at an Asian Happy Release joint -- ONLY TO DROP IT A MONTH LATER WITH 1/100th the coverage. FAST FORWARD: Trump beats Mueller! BUT WAIT, LO AND BEHOLD just 2 days later, Foxx hands Smokeit the ultimate Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card.

It's so fucking obvious it hurts to recount it.

So Smokeit is right where he was before he perpetrated the hoax:

If you understand the conspiracy to subvert justice that Obama and his minstrels and Karamela and Foxx and whoever else was in on this, was performed specifically to stick it in your eye, whitey, they'll do it again.

And they will all be in on it this time.

One thing about Karamela, she is without shame, a Moochelle with a history of using political and legal favors to gather power -- a Cankles with a built-in grudge against all whitey and 'deplorables'. There is nothing she wouldn't do to take her bogus 'lynching' bill and expand it infinitely to include online.web.sites.

If ever there was a reason for Trump to USe surveillance powers against his enemies, this is it. It's not optional.
