    What happens to Smollett is no longer as important as what happened to have his charges dropped. He has damaged himself sufficiently for what he did.

    But, people need to know which strings were pulled to get charges dropped, and who pulled them, and bring them forward.

    Smollett did file a false police report, and I am glad he is facing charges. I wonder if the FBI investigation into the letter is still be investigated?

    Oh yes....we should show compassion to the millionaire scumbag who tried to frame Maga Americans. We forgot....racisim is only a "tool" to be used by the left.

    He was never acquitted.
    His charges were dropped.
    Different things.
    Since there was never a judgement on Smollett, reopening investigation is not subject to double-jeopardy rules.
    I’m seeing Foxx’ online ads and regret I don’t live in Cook county to vote against her. I can’t believe she has the guts to run for re-election after she dropped Smolletts case.

    The guy is scum. Human garbage.

    I don’t know what the typical sentence is for his crimes, but give him that and I never want to hear his name again.

    Kinda like getting leeches in slow moving water and just leaving them on having no concern.

    Smollett should be charged with a hate crime himself.

    Things are bad enough in this country without TDS-addled jackasses like him pouring napalm on the situation.

    PS. I hope the city wins its $500,000 lawsuit against him, too.

    Sounds like a DNC and CNN talking point. All fake news and hysteria.

    He should serve both sentences the white guys would have received if the story was real, along with federal mail crimes, and reimbursement to the city/county for all expenses.

    I hope he loses every penny he has and spends 20 years in prison. Fake hate crime, fake racist hate crime to further your career and divide the country should not be tolerated.

    20 years in prison with no parole and millions in fines is what I am hoping for.

    He's gay so... Maybe it's one of his fantasy? If it is, then it wouldn't really be rape-rape.

    I don't care what happens to him. It doesn't affect me.

    I made my opinions known in a thread discussing this topic YESTERDAY.

    That is why I linked you to the previous discussion.

    Feel free to start a 3rd thread (on Jussie) if you would like.:salute:
