In a stunning move on Tuesday morning, Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against the “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, who had been accused of staging an attack in downtown Chicago earlier this year.
“We believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” a prosecutor said in court in announcing the dismissal of all 16 counts against Mr. Smollett.
In a statement, Anne Kavanagh, a spokeswoman for Mr. Smollett’s lawyers, said: “Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on Jan. 29. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgment.”
The statement went on: “Jussie is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career.”

Chicago officials are not happy…https://youtu.be/jycvTM6Kap4
Jussie Smollett’s apartment is for sale if you want to buy it. Not sure he should be walking alone anywhere after this. I gained a little respect for Rahn Emanuel today. My concern is that this injustice will want to balance itself out. It’s unfortunate but he will eventually get justice. Hopefully not in the form of a “real” hate crime.
This belongs on Scrappleface.
Word in the “back room” from Chicago is Obama put in the fix for him. True, not true, who knows, but……
Jesse is going to have to satisfy the ire of the Chicago Police Union, the Chicago Chief of Police and Rham Emanuel. Looks like Michael Obama…. er… Michele… might be behind the judge’s decision: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/03/huge-former-michelle-obama-aide-reached-out-to-states-attorney-kim-foxx-before-charges-were-dropped-against-liar-jussie-smollett/
Un-freaking believable.
I’m White and I support Trump. Where do I go to get my reputation back? How about a class action lawsuit………..????
It’s actually much worse than reputation. This was an act of domestic terrorism. Similar to what the main stream media performs on a daily basis. The structured campaign he engaged in definitely caused fear of violence and invoked coercion on many people both good and bad. His action fortunately did not spark a civil war where he would have been the direct cause of loss of life.

NOUN – 1.the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
Even from all the way over here in England the scent of BS in the air is clear. Surely no one over the age of six believes this? It says far more about the crookedness of Chicago than the innocence of Smollett.
Gaaaaahhhh….
