I’m sure this is just an intimidation tactic. That idea is about as good as the original plot.

That assumes it goes to trial. A racist, politicized city attorney’s office might just settle the case for a few million dollars and stoke the fires of division before the 2020 election even more.

Oh brother. We’re suppose to believe the person who didn’t want to see the inside of a courtroom is now threatening to go to court and possibly expose all of his lies? This guy and his legal team are too much.

city attorneys do not participate in civil trials between plaintiffs and defendants when one is not a government agency.

It would be the icing on the cake for the city of Chicago to settle and give this LYING LOSER money on top of no charges!!! I really feel for the Chicago PD this ASSHAT could have created riots in their city, they HAD to put all resources on this to keep their city safe!!! If I were in the black community I would be PISSED this asshat has put a doubt on any racial crimes going forward!!!

Maybe a class action lawsuit could be filed against Smollett by all White people. After all they were harmed by this. I can just see the headlines for the case named:

“White People verses Smollett”.

MAGA might fit in somewhere too. Because of the MAGA hat.

Watch CPD quietly settle.

After all, the “reasonable” prosecutor would not prosecute.

Just a bone to the crazed media who will report it ad nauseum and some people will really think he is innocent.

Just the case records created by the investigators. No Transcripts, no videos, no witness statements. Pretty bare bones. AND just recollections as typed by the detectives. NOT the transcripts of the recorded interviews etc.

not just the MAGA hat...if you look closely at the letter Jussie supposedly received with the white powder, the return address is also MAGA
