Jussie Smollett, having “mysteriously” dodged state charges in his disgusting hoax, could still face much more serious federal charges. The Daily Caller reports:
Although the state-level criminal charges were reportedly dropped against actor Jussie Smollett, it remains unclear whether the federal government is still investigating whether he was involved in sending a death threat to himself at “Empire’s” Chicago studio.
Before Smollett claimed two men attacked him with a chemical substance, the studio received a letter addressed to the actor containing a white powder, which turned out to be aspirin. A lawyer and a former police superintendent said the mailing the letter could be considered a terroristic hoax under federal law.
The letter used similar language to the supposed physical attack. Its return address said “MAGA,” and it said “You will die black fag” using letters cut out of magazines.
When Smollett’s alleged accomplices in faking the assault were arrested, police took a magazine and a book of stamps from their home.
Smollett didn’t even recognize his guilt, which would have most likely resulted in probation at the very least. The fact that the Obamas could be involved in this screams political corruption to all.
I do suppose all news media could be considered fake by the standard put forth by Trump. All News Media puts their spin on it has they have done since news papers were printed, and especially since WWII when two top news casters were hired to put a spin on the WWII happenings to make it look like the USA was doing better than we were in the war, Gabriel Heater and Lowell Thomas and paid for by the US Government.
Now since when did any news media not put their spin on anything happening in the media that is exactly why people watch or read different Videos or papers.
This is a freedom of the press country where any are allowed to put their point of view in public or print as long as it is not lie.
Robert There is a huge divide between “NEWS” and “PROPAGANDA”, The Main Stream Media used to be known as the Mainstream NEWS Media. Bet you know why the word NEWS has been omitted.
Libel and Slander is against the law. It is one thing for an editorial column or an opinion piece to have some “Slant or Spin” But telling outright lies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is in fact FAKE NEWS!!! Many people in this country are glad the we finally have someone in government to call them out it. We also have FAKE UNIVERSITIES all over America that are teaching their students FAKE EVERYTHING, and students who express concern or conservatism are summarily, ostracized or pressured to comply, their grades threatened or even physically attacked and beaten. This sicko actor should be put in jail for about 20 years or so (along with everyone who aided and abetted his hoax), and others would think twice for pulling a stunt like he did in the future!
The Real Question will President Trump put all of these criminal Politicians and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, and everyone else in Prison as well as all of these reporters in Prison also? Send them all to GITMO.
They should all go to jail for what they have done and what wanted to do. Can you image what we would have been as a country in a few years if Obama or if she had been elected. I do not want to think about it. God bless.
FAKE NEWS …LIBEL, SLANDER, TREASON, PROSECUTION, CONVICTIONS, EXECUTIONS…..NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seek justice??????…….LMAO!!!!
Unfortunately there will be no change in the MSM other than for them to seek and play a new collective drama. They will, of course, sensationalize what ever dramatic event that may fall into their laps, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, because “if it bleeds, it leads”. They have long since relinquished being a purveyor of real news or anything approaching the “truth”. When the FCC began to grant licenses in the early 1940’s they required that each license holder must commit one hour a day for news in the public interest. They neglected to require that under no circumstances could advertising be sold in that hour. The result is that hour is now a profit center for commercial advertising, and for the all news networks, every hour has paid advertising and both have become a profit center for the MSM, and as such, they could care less what is sold as news as long as it is sold.
We don’t need to watch them there is always something to watch besides the new, who needs them its all fake
How about 40 or 50 million people cancel their cable TV subscriptions, their magazine subscriptions, and their newspapers and see what happens to the B.S. media.
I’ have Boycotted the Very fake News Media and their Sponsors “available at Mad as Hell.com” Let the low IQ’s get brainwashed by those Buttplugs personal oppinions. Anonymous sources my az. Noticed that the FBI, and the CNN goes hand in hand. the MSM are all owned and controlled by 5.Jews ( Deep State) Swamp Creatures.
Unfortunately they will not be pressing the justice to do there job. The media has the First Amendment to back them. Fake and Real news need to be protested by the people. That is much more effective than waiting for the justice to move. Any changes moving forward must be started by the people. Its amazing that the socialist pigs in the house are getting more movement than anyone. The pig AOC has been getting up to 4 million hits on her site. The house representatives are slowly destroying our country and affecting LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Its up to us the people to react.
How can we do anything? If a majority of the American public are easily fooled by people like AOC; they are low IQ individuals who will believe the most elaborate show-person.
We actually have the law on our side if we act soon enough.
ITS TIME FOR ALL REPUBLICANS, VOTERS AND POLITICIANS TO PROTEST THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I WATCH CNN SO I CAN HAVE A LITTLE LAUGH WATCHING JOHN BERMAN’S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AS HE TRIES TO CONVINCE HIS VIEWERS TO BELIEVE WHAT HE IS REPORTING TO BE THE GOD’S HONEST NEWS. IMAGINE THAT WHAT SOME OF THEM SAY THAT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP IS OR POSSIBLY A RUSSIAN AGENT. WHY DIDN’T THE FAKE NEWS REPORT OBAMA AS BEING A MUSLIM THAT HE IS. NOW WE HAVE A ANTI-SEMETIC MUSLIM CONGRESSWOMEN. WHEN IS ANTIFA, THE KKK, NAZI’S, WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND MS-13 GANG MEMBERS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GOING TO BECOME AN ELECTED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
They are also destroying themselves with their stupidity.
Unfortunately although there is no cure for stupid, it is not a criminal offense to be a complete idiot like the purveyors of fake news!

CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC should all be fined 1 billion dollars for the fake news and lies they have made in the last three years. It is disgusting and they should fire everyone that has been working there. They have torn the country apart and the low information people are the ones that suffer the most. They believe in those liars and fake news. I am sure the license is for real news stories!
That would be great! That could give us all the funds we need to build the wall!
The low information people are not suffering; they are simply believing everything they hear and making our lives difficult.
I am with you on fining the MSM; money is the only thing they understand. They are all competing to steal customers from the National Enquirer and winning. Because that’s the level of news they are reporting.
CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC all should be fined 1 billion dollars and they should be ordered to get rid of all the fake news and liars on every one of the stations. They are tearing the country apart with fake news and lies. That is now what their license says and it is time they were taken to task.
They had better seek justice!
