And bribes. Lots of bribes. Start with the brothers who have remained silent after Smollett basically accused them of attacking him (without calling for their prosecution. Their lawyer quit representing them, BTW.)Quote:

4 page summary of the case against Smollett. Yeah, nothing there at all.
Quote:
"Two law enforcement officials briefed on the matter tell @ABC the FBI is *reviewing* circumstances surrounding dismissal of criminal charges against Jussie Smollett," Elgas tweeted. "ABC News is told this is not an investigation. It is a 'review' or 'inquiry'."
BS. FBI opens "assessments", "preliminary investigations" and "investigations." Each stage has different levels of tools they can legally use (yeah, I know, they don't always follow those rules that are inconvenient for them.)will25u said:

***another bombshell***
Smollett lawyer conflicts state attorney office. She says the community service had nothing to do with dropped charges, nor the forfeiture of $10K which he volunteered. Basically she is saying the state prosecution is lying.

So she wants him to be charged? That is just weird.
Quote:
She is saying Smollett is an innocent victim, that he made no pleas or concessions, and that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to convict him.
Foxx and her state prosecution office say Smollett is "culpable" and that they stand behind the CPD investigation, indictment, and charges brought forth.
The NEW bombshell today is that Foxx and her office have been saying the prior community service and $10K bond forfeiture were part of the consideration to drop charges. BUT Smollett's lawyer says that is absolutely false and there is no evidence to support that.... she says Smollett's legal team strongly urged him to forfeit the bond pmt due to the fact he would have paid much more if he went to trial.
In another interview below she goes as far to say they may ultimately sue CPD and city.

You're probably right and he'll probably be clutching a MAGA hat.agent-maroon said:
Something tells me that the closer this gets to the big fish the more depressed Jussie will become. He should probably have already been put on suicide watch for his own protection. Because if it's the Obamas or one of their protege, he WILL double tap the back of his head if he's ever alone
