Jussie Smollett: Funniest. Trial. Ever.
NRO ^ | 6 Dec 2021 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 12/07/2021 2:41:16 PM PST by Rummyfan

Smollett’s hate-hoax fairy tale did expose how gullible Americans can be when you yell ‘racism.’

Spare a thought for Jussie Smollett’s lawyers. Think of them being much like infantrymen who walk through fire on the way to glory, except they’ve been slogging through a mire of bulls*** on their way to absurdity. While wearing flip-flops. Their field commander is an insistently moronic fraud. The Iwo Jima flag they struggle to raise is the reputation of a dim actor who thought he would raise his profile by telling the world that he was attacked by the world’s least likely lynch mob — a duo of black MAGA-heads who just happened to have bleach and a noose on them in case Jussie Smollett should walk by. At two o’clock in the morning. On an exceptionally cold Chicago night. Then walked away after 30 seconds without robbing their victim or doing him more than superficial harm.

The man Dave Chappelle dubbed Juicy Smollé may not have been much of an entertainer when that was his profession — admit it, you’d never heard of him before January 29, 2019, and that’s part of the reason he needed Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Buff to stage a fake beating. (Get a gander at these guys, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo: If they were inclined to beat you up, your injuries would be something other than scratches. Smollett’s face would have looked like Cubist portraiture if they had really attacked him. Ten seconds of actual punching and they’d have Picasso’d this guy.) Yet Smollett should be dubbed American Reality Entertainer of the Year for the hilarity he has brought us all in Chicago for the last week as he has steered his lawyers to argue outright fiction.

On the other hand, it is a jury trial in a blue city.

His case had more holes in it than Bonnie and Clydes car.

It’ll get really funny if Kamala Harris and Cory Booker et al. get implicated using this in a conspiracy to help pass the anti-lynching bill

The prosecutors said he will get at most is probation. If he was white and straight it would be hate crimes and 10 years federal jail at minimum.

Lefties (NRO included) all want to treat this as some harmless moronic prank instead of the vicious anti-white, anti Trump smear that it was. Especially given “help” from the likes of Corey Booker and Kamala Harris this easily could have turned into another BLM/Antifa riot.

Even in a blue city it would be hard to figure out who the racists are....the brothers or Jessie

There will be more than enough walking Zombies ready to jump for any dangled bait and buzzwords.
Too bad the judge won’t be deciding.

NRO f’ed up. Dave Chappelle was a popular comedian long before Juicy Smollé entered the scene. The Wayne Brady sketch, Negrodamus, the Niggar family, Clayton Bigsby the Black White Supremacist? C’mon man!

The defense tried to change the subject to such distractions as the legal weapons found in the Osundairos’ home and Olabinjo Osundairo’s social-media posts, in which he used verboten words such as “fruity” and “Gaylord.”

It turns out that both brothers marched in a gay pride parade (in costume, as bare-chested Trojan warriors) and Olabinjo worked at a gay bar.

Flinging contradictions in every direction, the defense suggested at different times that Abimbola Osundairo was both a) homophobic and b) a former boyfriend of Smollett.

Abimbola hotly denied the accusations, though he offered that he and Smollett used to go to a gay bathhouse together, as chums so often do.

Guilty.

No jail time, community service giving CRT talks to school kids, 6 month probation, deferred judgment, case expunged from his record if he doesn’t get in trouble during probation period. The Long Arm of the Law.

Can the judge order a directed verdict of GUILTY?

I know I should find this crap funny, but I don’t, I find it sad and disturbing that the greatest legal system in the world is being abused to the point of insanity.

One of the better NRO article I've read.

As for the Smollett pals testifying against him, they produced a $3,500 check Jussie had written them as advance payment, because the ringmaster of this flea circus was too dumb to understand that cash is the preferred payment method when doing stuff you don’t want others to find out about.

Using Instagram, Smollett advised the brothers that the attack, originally planned for 10 p.m., would have to be put off for a few hours because his flight out of LaGuardia would be delayed. (Right after “only use cash,” in the criminals’ catechism, the next line is, “Never assume a LaGuardia flight will be on time.”)

There's is also an oblique reference to Emily Ratajkowski. As I was unfamiliar, googling the name wasn't unpleasant.

🤔

I’ve been wondering about these recent rumblings with regard to the Harris staff issues. I do believe her and Cory Bilge Banger were to use this “crime” to advance their ridiculous anti-lynching bill in the Senate. The timelines are just too coincidentally close.

This is a trial, and the prosecution has his phone records (texts), so it’s possible the Harris connection may come out. If so, good bye Heels Up.
