Jussie Smolett, whose legal perils looked only to get worse once his own attorney was caught in Avenatti’s scam, is now free after charges against him were dropped. Courant reports:
In a stunning reversal, Cook County prosecutors on Tuesday dropped all charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett on disorderly conduct charges for allegedly staging a phony attack and claiming he was the victim of a hate crime.
“We believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” a prosecutor said in announcing the dismissal of all 16 counts.
There had been no clue that prosecutors planned the about-face move before the announcement. A publicist for Smollett’s attorney was the first to notify the news media Tuesday morning, issuing an alert that did not elaborate on the nature of the emergency.
Moments after Judge Steven Watkins allowed the dismissal, attorneys for Smollett issued a statement.
Is corruption involved in this? Considering the charges were in Chicago, it wouldn’t surprise many. Hopefully, the Federal government will still go through with its investigation to charge Smolett on federal fraud crimes.
Sad to see that the apple does not fall far from family tree. His brother came out a few days ago, and said that Poor Jussie Smolett was now dealing with Night terror because of the attack. WHAT ATTACK!!! IT WAS ALL A DEMOCRATIC FAKE HATE CRIME!! For his brother to come out and continue the BS lies only shows the out come when you allow little punks to get away with their crimes. They don’t feel remorse or guilt. They feel that they got away with it so why stop bad behavior? When they dropped all charges and released him, they did him and America no favors. Only encourage others to do the same. Democrats never feel any of them should be held accountable if caught. Just ask Hillary and Obama.
This an extreme example of the lack of equal justice in America. Chicago area has been under total control of the strong arm tactics of the Democrats for many decades. Had he been a white person who lied and accused blacks of beating him, than have the charges dropped it goes without saying that there would be riots right now. If BLM was really about equality in justice they would be standing up against this also, but nit one word, the proof that they feel blacks should be able to commit any crime they choose, and not be punished. To make things worse they are also allowing this low life scum to claim the charges being dropped proves he did not lie. There needs to be a very deep investigation into the prosecutors office there including all that have worked in that office and their family members. Someone connected to these so called prosecutors is recieving some kind of pay off. Its time for white Americans to start rioting over these extreme injustices Force these so called prosecutors out of office, and force changes to the system all deals must be approved by a citizen oversight committee
The interference by one very close to Michelle Obama played a large part in the outcome of this case. Pictures of Jussie with the Obama’s have been circulating since the charges were dropped. Just proves it pays to have powerful friends in high places. However, even though the public knows he is guilty his constant claim of innocence is even wearing his fans down.

Did anyone really believe Jussie Smolett would be convicted in a black run city of crime and corruption like Chicago?
Not only should the Feds go after this, and then they need to find out exactly why Magats let him off. And I suspect Obama will be in the line of money or phone calls that caused this loss of justice. Go get Barry and Michael
Wasn’t there evidence found that Smollette wrote the brothers a $3,500 check to pay for this fraud?
One would inquire, Where the hell is the governor of this state hiding to let this past. A flagrant violation of justice has been committed by a person who tried to falsely implicate a sitting President of the Unites States as the reason for his being attacked. What about the huge sums of tax payers dollars that was expended to investigate this case? Is this guy going to get the bill instead of the Illinois tax payers? I bet not. What else would one expect being that of Illinois’ last seven governors, four have ended up going to prison. Can you say corrupt state? How about the present governor take control of this corrupt act and make it right for the citizens of Illinois. Bet ya nothing will happen. Maybe we get the FBI, the Fumbling Bumling Idiots, to may a two year 25 million dollar investigation to uncover this miscarriage of justice committed by the state AG.
This is more of the liberal double standard in this country, this is wrong in every way. Had this been a white person claiming they had been attacked by two black men that white person would be put in jail. The only thing Americans can do is to boycott anyone or company that stands with this POS Foxtv and Disney should be boycotted by anyone that believes this is unjust
Well, of COURSE it’s corruption! When even the Mayor of Chicago calls for an investigation in to, it HAS to be corrupt. Personally, I’m fed up with people trying to stop the REAL criminals for being charged with their crimes, & having to answer for it. And, I don’t care if they’re black, white, pink, or green, male, or female, straight or gay, Republican or Dimocrat. IF they committed a crime, then they should have to answer for it. Smollett made it look like Trump people attacked him, when it was just a made up lie. I’m not saying that it couldn’t have been, but where Smollett was at, at the time of the alleged attack, you won’t find many, if ANY Trump supporters. This man needs to be punished, & if not in this life, then on Judgment day, he WILL pay! Not fair to the ones that have actually been attacked for simply having different skin color. But, these days, almost every racially motivated crime that is being reported, are nothing more than illusions. Yes, there ARE racially motivated crimes, but, WHEN are BLACKS going to be punished for hate crimes against whites, or even against people of their OWN race? The laws should apply to ALL people, not to just one race, or another.
I agree with all you said except the hate crime part. There should NEVER be a law against what a person is thinking.
Doing the crime doesn’t mean you’ll be doing the time when you’re friends with the Obama’s. It’s a sure fact that these law-breakers are above the law. That makes them all trash!
Send Jussie and the Obamas to jail
Civil war is the only solution to all the problems (problems caused by liberals and democraps) in this country. We cannot idly stand by while the communist liberals and democraps imposes their willful lawlessness and double standard on conservatives. We must fight back. Civil war is the ultimate solution!!!!
COMMUNISM IS RAMPANT IN THE PARTY OF DEATH.

It looks as though he bought his way out of this but also, Obama bailed him due to a call which was placed to Obama by the family. The fact that this guy would just double down on his story and invoke the idea that he couldn’t be his mother’s child and be guilty of such a crime, really speaks to the character of this individual…. Very demonic and clearly in line with all the people you see assembled on the left.
I hsve to disagree a bit. I think the Chicago Police found that this scam went higher than Smollet, and the moment they discovered the higher level of this crude hoax revealed the hand of the Obamas was the moment the Chitown DA called the cops off the case and dropped all charges.
That’s certainly the way it looks! It seems that if you want to make the public Hate our President (When they are Republican) the democratic Party will pardon all your crimes!!!
Not surprising at all. I predicted this outcome when the facts of the matter became known. Cook County, Illinois – a corrupt county in a corrupt state. Do note that they’re controlled by Leftists. The double-standard is at work once again. If it had been a Conservative actor, he would be headed for trial.
Or if we had a democrat president and he tried to make the public Hate that president he would have been prosecuted to the fullest! The fact that we have so many Liberal activist Judges overturning the will of the people shows the degree of corruption the democratic party has created in our judicial system! Hopefully President Trump will fill all the vacant Judge positions with honest people who uphold the law!!!
Smollett is white, straight, and commits these acts in conservative Phoenix. And still gets away with it…not!
Obama’s involvement in this case does not go unnoticed. Furthermore, I happen to believe that Obama’s life in the U.S. is soon to become much more complicated. It’s about time….
I pray you are correct about Obama having difficulty, was and still is an embarrassment to America
More Liberal bull shit destroying our legal system it’s all planned to show a win for unlawful communist liberals after Trump was cleared of Russian collusion it’s sick and I hope the FBI does there job and prosecutes him for federal crimes MAGA
I am getting a HUNCH here…..The President was EXONERATED of Russian Collusion, so the “left” had to EXONERATE one of THEIRS…..!!!!!??????
Should have been a federal hate crime charge from the beginning.
Of course he is getting all charges dropped. Chicago is the most corrupt city in the US and no black person would ever get nailed on a hate crime.
I agree 100% I hope the FBI does there job
Statesman Patriot: Please don’t fall for the commie hate crime nonsense. Hate crimes and hate speech legislation has its roots in the communist-inspired, so-called Frankfurt School founded in Frankfurt, Germany by Bolsheviks in the 1920s. Its goal was to implement communism in the West quietly by gradually subverting popular culture — a movement known as Cultural Marxism. One of its leading lights, Herbert Marcuse, opined that the prevailing Western social order is repressive by definition and discriminates against minorities simply by existing. Key strategies to achieve this goal are: (Most of these points have been realized). 1. The creation of racism offences. 2. Continual change to create confusion. 3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children. 4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority. 5. Huge immigration to destroy identity. 6. The promotion of excessive drinking. 7. Emptying of churches. 8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime. 9. Dependency on the state or state benefits. 10. Control and dumbing down of media. 11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family. Munzenberg stated flatly, “We will make the West so corrupt it stinks.” Today, his mission appears to have been largely accomplished. If I murder you, what difference does it make if I loved or hated you? Hate crime laws are made to undermine our legal system. We are witnessing the death of our country and are now entering the age of thought police! Canada is already there!
So, now he is going to get his $ MILLIONS contract too….????? He admitted that he did this for GREED………!!!!!! If nothing else, he will PAY for this in HE** when his time comes….!!!!
Who mailed the letter? Who are the attackers? DIdn’t the Nigerian brothers confess to the attack. Let’s get to the bottom of this and make the federal charges for mail fraud and terroristic threats stick.
Something is rotten in the City of Chicago.
The Obama city!! what did you all expect??
Apparently, politics not justice rules in Chicago
I am sick to death of the double standard that we have in this country when it comes to justice (we have no justice —- Lady Justice is dead). It seems that every sexual pervert, every far left liberal democrat looney has nothing to fear from the the “law”. If you are white, conservative, christian etc. ——– you don’t even have to commit a crime. The goats will search, for two years if necessary, to try to find something they can hang you for.
Black privledge wins again. If he were white, he’d have the book thrown at him. If he were white, he’d be called a racist. Double standard at it’s finest!
I WOULD LIKE TO TRY ROBBING A BANK AND HIDING ALL THE MONEY I STOLE THAN GET CAUGHT AND LET GO. WHAT A WORLD. WE ARE A DIVIDED COUNTRY FOR SURE. THIS IS ANOTHER TIME THAT WE ALL CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE A TWO TIER SYSTEM FOR PUNISHING CRIMINALS. THE FAR LEFT LIBERALS AND THE CONSERVATIVES. THE LIBERALS HAVE SHOWN TIME AND AGAIN HOW THEY ARE OUT OF THE REACH OF THE RULE OF LAW. HE SHOULD RUN FOR A DEMOCRATIC POSITION AS HE HAS A HEAD START BEING A LIAR.
what did Watkins cost?????
Now he is free to run for a political office.
Not only will he run, but the DNC will probably draft him as a running mate for BiteMe who ditched Abrams when he found out her only accomplishments in life were back taxes and thousands on her credit cards.
BiteMe needs younger blood on his ticket, especially someone who can act, but not so well. ?
Wonder what the outcome would have been if this guy had been white.
Look at the costs to the tax payers of Chicago and all the resources that were taken away from real crime. It must add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars and he walks away. He should be required to pay the city for the costs he directly caused
chicago was always a corrupt city, even when the ole man ran it. $$ always seals the deal.
Chicago used to be the city that works! But with the Jussie Smollett case, it is now the city that fixes! Despicable! I have a few traffic tickets that they could easily have fixed for me such as speeding while stopped by the side of LSD
Democrats have a full assault on every institution that has made this country the best in the history of mankind. The Democrats are moving us closer and closer to a banana republic.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE BLOW HARD CITY, THE DAMN DEM’S CAN DO NO WRONG, JUST LOOK WHO ALL THE SORRY PEOPLE ELECTED IN THE BLOW HARD CITY, ALL CROOKS AND ALL THE ONES THAT LIE. I WOULD LIVE THERE IF THEY GIVE THE KEY TO THAT ASSHOLE CITY.
So we Boycott any or all future Movies that he appears in, Can you imagine if this was a regular white guy that had done the same crimes and blamed it on the DemonRats.???
I’m guessing you meant to say “wouldn’t” live there.
Goes to show if you have money or are a Hollywood star good or bad you can get away with anything!! The average person does not stand a chance!! If we had done this we would have the book thrown as us!!
WTF??????
i second that WTF>> obama’s wife assistant. Called the DA and fixed this under the table. This is a complete BS. Two tear justice.
He got fired from his acting job. Serves him right. Good luck getting another one….liar!
Getting hired now will be a piece of cake, now that his liberal “martyrdom” credentials have been established. He will be like a “made” man in Leftland.
EXACTLY…..He will get his $ MILLIONS contract……ONE way to FORCE it, talented or NOT……!!!!!
Read the latest. After he got “exonerated” (laugh, laugh) they welcomed him back with open arms. Black lies matter.
So in the Federal case they need to make sure he does the max. I can’t imagine them dropping the charges after what happened yesterday. He is part of the problem. He needs to go to jail, for a long time.
Just glad it wasn’t a TRUMP suporter. They would have received life without parol.
Vengeance is Gods.
