The twisted case of Jussie Smollett is depressing, infuriating — and should end with the maximum prison sentence. But I predict he’ll skate.
The reprehensible alleged actions of the gay, black fabulist who cried “MAGA” will be forgiven, excused and ultimately encouraged by sympathetic progressives — deemed justifiable Trumpicide.
And it will happen again. And again.
Smollett, who claimed he was attacked outdoors by a pair of racist, homophobic white Trumpsters on a frigid Jan. 29 in Chicago, transformed Wednesday from the purported target of a vicious hate crime to a lying, alleged felonious hoaxster.
But the fact that the assault seems not to have happened, at least not technically, is an insignificant detail to lefty Democratic presidential hopefuls, celebs and assorted fans, who tucked into the delicious outrage initially as if it were a three-course vegan meal.
Because Smollett has already set himself up with an alibi. He’s a marginalized person, a real-life victim of psychological assault in Donald Trump’s America.
Consider the initial reaction from the echo chamber. Both Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris hysterically, and almost in unison, termed the fake drubbing of the 36-year-old “Empire’’ actor an “attempted modern-day lynching.’’
NAACP president Derrick Johnson tweeted, “The rise in hate crimes is directly linked to President Donald J. Trump’s racist and xenophobic rhetoric.” Sen. Bernie Sanders. Ex-Vice President Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Rosie O’Donnell. Rob Reiner. Ellen Page! Everyone with an agenda and a microphone should be embarrassed for saying they were shocked! shocked! that such intolerance could flourish in present-day America.

Don’t YOU try it
Fakenews
If some of the Dem candidates have their way, it won’t matter whether Jussie walks free or not. Because, he will still have a reparations payday down the road!
Smollett was supposed to appear this afternoon for a bond hearing. Anybody know if that happened and if so what the result was?
Any honest assessment and cataloging of such crimes would find that the SOARED during Obastard and have greatly diminished under Trump. What has obviously soared during Trump is hoax hate crimes.
$100K.
Fake Noose.....................
100K, I believe.
Nevermind - I can answer my own question.
Bond was set at 100,000. Don’t know if he is now out on bond or not.
He just got federal charges as well for the fake anthrax letter he sent himself
He is not walking away from this a freeman
Its curtains for Mr. Jussie
Yes, thank you.
If I heard the news on the radio correctly (not a sure thing, I tend to systematically tune that stuff out), Smollette is on probation from previous scrape with the law. Maybe that might factor in.And the Chicago police seem to be taking the attitude that they could have done some good for some actual victims with the police man-hours this hoax has absorbed.
Thanks. So is he now out on bond?
again, should have looked first to answer my own question -

Says he is out on bond. Next court appearance is March 14.
So will he now be making the rounds of the talk shows and news shows to declare his innocence?????? Sickening if so.
Even if he does ‘skate’, and escape harsh charges, Jussie has been publicized as an attention whore and compulsively lying fool. This very high profile take-down by the Chicago Police may encourage other potential copycats think twice before staging such idiocy in the future. “Do you wanna end up embarrassed coast to coast like Jussie?”
Wondering if the two brothers can sue smollett for fooling them. After all, his hoax has affected their lives.
If he "skates", I'll believe it when I see it. Oh, he's not going away for three years but he won't walk.
I don’t know.
The Post Office doesn’t fool around.
