Some people just don't know when to STFU.Quote:
Jussie Smollett has invoked the nationwide protests over George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police officers in his ongoing legal battle with the city of Chicago.
The actor is fighting a $130,000 lawsuit from the city which claims he lied when he said he'd been attacked in the street by two 'light skinned' assailants who called him racial and homophobic slurs in January 2019.
The first set of charges against him were dropped last year but after reviewing the case, a special prosecutor brought fresh charges against him in February.
Separately, the city is trying to recoup the cost of its investigation into him in civil court. Smollett is fighting them and is demanding to see files relating to the firing of former Police Chief Eddie Johnson, who was fired after being caught drinking and kissing his female security guard during a night out in December 2019.
Smollett says the city is refusing to hand the files over and that it is trying to cover up for Johnson who, when he was first charged, gave an extraordinary press conference eviscerating the Empire actor.
As we see millions across the country rise up to protest and expose police misconduct, the City, by its refusal to produce the requested documents, is choosing to actively resist a citizen's lawful efforts to reveal dishonesty, directly relating to the charges against him, throughout the department, including the police superintendent who oversaw and publicly commented on the investigation of Mr. Smollett's report of a vicious hate crime and assault,' Smollett's attorneys wrote in a filing on June 6th.

Believe it or not, it's a dispute over a gun.

There was some pretty rank speculation that this hoax was coordinated by DC politicos attempting to gin-up public support for the anti-lynching bill. Was there ever any real evidence of this? Has Smollett ever addressed motive?

A little less than a year after he walked out of a Cook County courthouse seemingly never to return, Jussie Smollett again faces criminal charges as a special prosecutor Tuesday announced a new indictment accusing the former "Empire" star of faking a 2019 hate crime attack.
Quote:
In a three-page news release issued alongside copies of the charges, Webb said it was "in the interest of justice" to again charge Smollett, given the "extensive nature" of Smollett's false reports and the manpower police devoted to investigating his case. The city filed a lawsuit against Smollett a month after the charges were dropped, demanding he repay the $130,000 in overtime paid out to detectives that worked on his case.

But ex-President's wives can work back channels with the DA to get a sweet plea deal where no admission of guilt is required.Rapier108 said:

Nope. Very doubtful real ones would be where they were. Far more likely that like - what - 90% of these incidents it is actually a Leftist trying to set up a fake hate crime.

He's probably not wrong though. Comey made up a reason to let Hillary off. She without a doubt violated the law, and ignorance is no excuse. He simply made it one. In this case, they didn't technically violate the law. Is it ****ty? Certainly. Illegal? Unfortunately, no.
Prosecute juicy. Publicly admonish Foxx and make sure people know how bad she is, and let the voters remove her.

The Cook County judge who appointed a special prosecutor to re-investigate the Jussie Smollett case, including how Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx handled the original probe, has declined to release a full report on the special prosecutor's findings.
Last week, special prosecutor Dan Webb released a summary of his report, which found evidence that "establishes substantial abuses and discretions" and false statements in Foxx's handling of the case, but Webb said there was no evidence of criminal conduct by Foxx's office, or any undue outside influence on the case.
However, Webb needed a judge's permission to release the full 60-page report, because it contains grand jury information, which is typically kept confidential.
At a hearing on Friday, Judge Michael Toomin declined Webb's request to release his full report, essentially ruling much of the information already was made public, reducing the need to publish the full report.
