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.

Perhaps his mental illness could be better addressed if he entered into....

(Bwa ha ha ha)
So much of this doesn’t make sense.
If the whole thing it was a hoax, why did he even need the two guys to “pretend” to rough him up?
The more I think about this, the more I realize how freakin stupid this Jussie guy is.
A 12 year old could have made up a more believable story.
The DA in charge of this case is black and she is REALLY PISSED OFF for her to go out there and lay out her case in EVERY DAMN DETAIL is unheard of!! She is letting the the possible jury pool know that this guy does NOT deserve a walk!! Trump or no Trump this loser put a noose around his OWN neck this has pissed offmany in the black community!!!
Dittoes. Think about Roger Stone. The SWAT team that CNN and the FBI sent to bust down his door at 6:00 AM would make a Nazi Storm Trooper proud. Hell, not even Osama bin Laden had a strike force of that size and magnitude.
But then bin Laden wasn't a 70 year white conservative dude. Them types are evil. EVIL.
Yep, hung jury in Chicago and the feds will back off once they start saying Trump is pushing the case.
Interesting choice of words about a black guy's hoax involving a noose around his neck.
Just messin' with ya...
Seriously; Smollet should be "hung" out to dry for at least 5 years in prison but chances are the Chi-town corruption will somehow "cut him loose".
Smollett is smarter than the Chicago cops give him credit for. Some lawyer must have advised him from the very beginning.
Find that lawyer and throw the book at him.
Why did they allow the two Nigerians to leave the country while the case is ongoing?
Something smells to high heaven.
............ He’s already back at work on “Empire” today .....
Plus I understand he has a prior conviction for lying to police.
A judge is going to have to consider that prior conviction and is not likely to be lenient.
“Why did they allow the two Nigerians to leave the country while the case is ongoing?”
My understanding is that they were already out of the country and were arrested AFTER they returned.
she writes nothing in the article that supports the headline, that I could see.
It amounts to...”blah,blah,blah will likely walk, just because”
Hope Jussie remembers to send them a 1099 next January!
why did he even need the two guys to “pretend” to rough him up?
And these tough guys didn’t do a very good job. The DA said some injuries were ‘self inflicted’. What the Heck?
