All sixteen charges returned by a grand jury against Jussie Smollett in a MAGA hoax crime have been dropped. He will not be prosecuted.
The Cook County State’s attorneys’ office issued a statement that Smollett forfeited his bond and contributes to the community, therefore, they have decided to drop the charges. In other words, they feel he’s paid his debt.

State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said she dropped the case because he would have only gotten community service and he already performed community service.
Reporter Rafer Weigel says the question Chicago police now have for him is how does Smollett plan to reimburse the city for all the money that was spent on his investigation?
Eleven days ago, the Chicago police union asked for a federal investigation into Kim Foxx’s handling of the Jussie Smollett case. Foxx has ties to Michelle Obama’s former Chief of Staff.
Foxx had recused herself but she made this decision.
Smollett is accused of faking an anti-black and anti-gay MAGA hate crime in Chicago. His alleged goal was to garner sympathy and get a pay increase from Fox.
Police said Smollett hired two men, both of whom are black, to attack him. Police said Smollett paid the men $3,500.
The men are brothers Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo, and one of them had worked on “Empire.”
In the wee hours of the morning, while getting a Subway sandwich, Jussie said he was Maga attacked by two white guys in freezing temperatures.
The judge granted a nolle pros which means the case is dropped and the ‘Empire’ actor will no longer be prosecuted.
The sixteen charges might have been overkill, according to Judge Napolitano.
Smollett’s attorney said the charges were dropped and his record wiped clean. They said he was a victim of two men he could not identify and was prosecuted in the court of public opinion.
She also said the $3500 was paid by Smollett to the brothers for training and dietary information, not to pay for a hoax attack.
The actor-singer is still being investigated by the Feds for allegedly sending himself a hoax letter.
Why am I NOT surprised??? The rot has become gangrenous in some quarters!!!
WTH is going on here, UPDATE ……NEW from Chicago: Joe Magats, the first assistant state’s attorney who made the final decision to drop the charges against Jussie Smollett, says in an interview: “We didn’t exonerate him.”, said he saw no problems with the police investigation or the evidence against Smollett. The charges against Smollett were dropped in return for his agreement to do community service, he said, and for forfeiting his bond to the city of Chicago”……………….are you fricking kidding me.!!!!!! What sort of quid-pro-quo or dirty crap was going on here? Now I’m damn near certain the reason they dropped it is that the train of corruption went straight through someone associated with Obama or some other, or perhaps many other, Democrats such as Kamala Harris.
Someone/group had the perfect faux hate crimes against POTUS Trump & his supporters, so they thought; they must have promised him he wouldn’t serve time if it backfired.
“After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,”…..Judge granted a motion to seal the case…….forfeit his bond?…….. volunteer service in the community? UUHHHH WTF is going on here???? I think someone too big to take down conspired with this idiot, so this whole thing has to disappear……There is strong evidence that Moochelle Obama’s former chief of staff attempted to subvert the investigation in the early stages and was told to pound sand by the CPD. That’s been publicly reported. One wonders whether there are taints all around that would be exposed by this case were it to go to trial!!!!!! IT STINKS BAD
Excellent analogy, Mr. Zigmont!
He better be careful in that MAGA stronghold cesspit on Lake Michigan that has been ran by republicans for 100 years.
Hordes of Amish youth are roaming the black and gay friendly neighborhood where he lives on a rampage.
They usually come out when it is below zero at two in the morning.
