The charges of mailing threatening communications provide for a sentence of no greater than 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.

Typical... there are laws for the rest of us and separate provisions for celebrities. Did anyone actually think Smollett was going to have the book thrown at him?

Hmmm, gaywalking?
Is that where you walk around backwards while grabbing your ankles?
Or is that a San Fransico marathon? Key West waddle?

You have no idea what the legal definition of fraud is, do you?

Fraud is a crime that involves the use of deception to deprive someone of money, property, or their rights.

You can't charge someone with fraud when there's no VICTIM.

They probably could have charged him with a half a dozen things.

Lets hope that the Feds are not so nice now that many of the deep state cronies have been cleaned out.

<<Reminder: Smollett could also face federal charges if it’s found he lied to FBI agents

not anymore...everybody lies to the FBI. It's become something to be proud of.

This was an attempt to send two innocent white men to prison and destroy their lives forever.

Justice is the people’s responsibility. As such we hire agents but the responsibility still lies with the people.

It's where you're innocently walking to the local sandwich shop when you're attacked by strangers who know you're gay, and douse you with bleach that they just happen to always carry around with them.

For him there is still the problem of the “threatening letter”. That is a felony at the federal level which is looking more and more like he had a hand in. Easy way for the locals to reduce their charge and “bump it upstairs” staying out of political bullshit in this particular case. Think those investigators wanted to be in the middle of this bullshit?

“He was convicted and you seriously believe that he will do time? “

You have no idea what I believe so, please, don’t post misleading statements about my beliefs.

He’s getting special treatment by Chicago law enforcement because...

I’m not sure why.

No word yet, from the FBI. Will he get the special Hillary treatment or the Roger Stone SWAT team?
