He's probably going to get slap on the wrist for the attack hoax BUT the letter is a whole 'nother thing.

A federal thing.

Wouldn't the brothers be accessories to the crime? Did they cut a deal to avoid charges? Also, did they mention the charges for the letter at all? I had to stop watching the presser.

I find that there is zero intellectually honestly among so many people when it comes to trump and I get that it makes it easy to lash at him because he's such a bozo at times but jeez people, use your damn brains. I'd say the same thing if Obama was getting this much hate and I didn't' care for him much either.

I hope that this dude does do some time, I only heard part of the news conference this morning but it was spot on in that it was a waste of time and resources and it's shameful that this story gets so much coverage yet young black men murdering each other night after night doesn't hardly get any????
Well stated. The hatred for all that is Trump is absolutely insane and is far worse than the irrational hatred for all things Obama. The Obama haters were at least a small segment. The Trump haters seem to be nearly everyone who didn't vote for him.

The charge is filing a false police report. They did not file a false police report, charging them as accessories is overreach. They just played out his kinky fantasies for some $$$. Not a crime.

I think it is appalling on both sides. Jussie for setting this up, but the brothers as well for going along with it.
What about the Dem presidential hopefuls who immediately came out in support of Jussie? Every American can see what that says about them.

Thanks. I would think they'd be co-conspirators then. Their attorney said they committed no crime and did not have any kind of deal with the police. So this piece is puzzling.


On another note - I just found that they press conference can be viewed on the CPD fbook page.

Jussie Smollett is a douchebag. I hope he spends some serious time behind bars if the allegations against him are true.

Watch Jussie's GMA interview. He claimed he was attacked because, “I come really, really hard against 45,” “I come really, really hard against his administration and I don’t hold my tongue.”

They didn't file the police report and had no part of that. The only thing they did was rough up Jussie at his request - so it wasn't even assault.

But I see where you are coming from.
