    Patricia Brown Holmes, Jussie Smollett's attorney, just spoke to the media at the Cook County courthouse.

    "Today as you have figured out, the state made a motion to drop the charges against Jussie Smollett and to seal the record in this case," she told reporters.

    She added, "We believe that it was the correct result in this case. We're very happy for this result. And we are very anxious for Jussie to get on with his career and his life and to move forward."

    The Grand Jury obviously found out something that precluded them from moving forward; perhaps the witness(es) were determined to be not credible for whatever the reason; could be other reasons as well. Only a legal scholar might know the true reason.

    This queer black guy falsely blamed Trump supporters for an assault.

    He us scum. He is garbage.

    I would laugh if he was hit by a meteorite.

    Can you say collusion?

    Just like down on the farm; All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. Good on you Jussie.

    Jussie-1, Law-Abiding American Citizens-0

    Forgive and forget. And that's the way it is.

    Nah, it's not collusion, it is something with the grand jury or with the witnesses not being cooperative.

    Was the dismissal of the charges with prejudice? If so, this is over.

    He will get his just reward in the end.

    His career is still over.

    That's a good start.

    This guy is a punk. A piece of human waste.

    Anyone who supports him is human waste.

    We can always hope he moves into Zimmerman's neighborhood.

    HEre is what happened. The two big black guys, said they will not testify right, as they might incriminate themselves. Without them the case is flimsy.

    Trump is a politician, that is different, that is part of their job.

    Were you upset when Obama lied?

    Smollett's willingness to forfeit his $10,000 bond was one of the main reasons why his charges were dropped. Without the large amount of money he donated to Chicago, he would not have been freed without charges.

    We all fall short.

    As President, Commander in Chief, the economy, America's world status, unemployment, administrative direction and political philosophy, love of country etc. ? I'd take President Trump over President Obama in every category.

    Smollet's career is not over. How silly to even suggest it.

    Then you're living in an alternate reality created for you by political porn. Congratulations on being dumber than Trump himself, which is really quite an accomplishemtn, becaus he's a blithering idiot.:roll:

    No. I don't think so. The prosecuters simply dropped the charges even though the evidence gathered by the police was overwhelming. They can do that.

    You don't fake a hate crime and come back from that, no matter how many Chicago prosecutors you pay off.

    That's a pretty lame answer, especially coming from you. I thought you were better then that.
