I was tempted to start a fred regarding JS tobes but i wasnt brave enough, very strange the msm are running scared of the story.
It is like he being let off for fabricating a story, even the bent police are not asking enough questions. I love the bit where they were carrying bleach which freezes at the temperature that night. |

The two alleged assailants were extras on Empire with Smollett and suspicions have been raised that they might have staged the whole situation as an anti Trump stunt.
Al Sharpton, after publicly calling out the president, has now retreated into silence on the matter. Obama's favourite reverend has plenty of form for this sort of thing, of course. Older forumites might recall Sharpton's role in the infamous Tawana Brawley case of the mid 1980s. |

Brothers Olabinjo 'Ola' Osundairo, 27, and Abimbola 'Abel' Osundairo, 25, were cut loose from police custody late on Friday. They had been held since Wednesday, after being picked up at O'Hare Airport while disembarking a flight from Nigeria. 'Due to new evidence as a result of today's interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete,' Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement on Friday night.
The Osundairo brothers' attorney, Gloria Schmidt, spoke briefly to reporters after their release, hinting that Smollett's legal future could hold difficulties. 'There's so many moving parts to this that will come out in time,' Schmidt said when asked if her clients had helped Smollett stage the attack. 'I'm going to let them tell their story when the time is right.' Smollett made international headlines after reporting the attack on January 29, in which he said two white men assaulted him at 2am on a Chicago street, shouting vile racist and homophobic slurs.The actor said that he fought back bravely as the two men shouted 'this is MAGA country,' poured bleach on him, and looped a noose around his neck. Late on Friday, police sources said that cops had seized a bottle of bleach from Smollett's apartment, according to Fox News correspondent Matt Finn. Meanwhile, new information surfaced about the Osundairo brothers, who in the course of 48 hours went from 'potential persons of interest' to 'potential suspects' to being under arrest because investigators had 'probable cause that they were involved in a crime' to being set free. Police said that the brothers were the brothers were the two men who were seen on a surveillance image released to the public, and Smollett positively identified the two men in the image as his attackers in a televised interview. The two brothers are both strongly opposed to President Donald Trump and fervently pro-LGBT, fellow Empire cast and crew members tell TMZ. Both men are said to be loyal fans of former President Barack Obama. Smollett is said to be close with the brothers and would frequently approach them on set to discuss health and fitness. |

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate. A bit later........ "OK, so, I will say this about that case," she said. "I think that the facts are still unfolding, and, um, I’m very, um, concerned about obviously, the initial, um, allegation that he made about what might have happened. |

egg on the face of the media again jumping to conclusions because it was a MAGA attack. maybe the media would think when he reported that the attackers shouted this is MAGA country in Chicago at him that all is not well with the claim ![]() |

By:
the police had 24 officers on the case after he made the accusation of assault must have been a quiet week for shootings in the area to put so many resources into this case

nellie, it seems fairly clear the police were highly sceptical from the get go.
when this happens what do they do, say we don't believe you? they never do that, they act as though they believe them and give them enough time to make mistakes & contradict themselves while they look into it. we have seen any number of cases of the police acting in this way and often with the help of the media. |

This is sad and dangerous if (fk it, 'when' since it'll only be a matter of time) it is replicated in the UK
Sad, because as in all such cases e.g false rape claims, genuine victims suffer through a seeping general lack of belief in their claims. However, under present hate claim legislation, this kind of thing can only widen, with the Police duty bound to investigate no matter how spurious. For anyone interested, Anna Soubry has fully signed up to the new definition of 'Islamaphobia' and the laws prsecuting individuals suspected of this neo-crime, so that's the kind of moribund thinking we're talking about at the heart of this new Independent (ho-ho-ho) Group |

When news of this alleged attack first broke the name of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement was mentioned umpteen times in every news report. Now Smollett's perfidious actions have been exposed it seems the media have conveniently forgotten both of these previous obsessions.

Like most people, I'd never heard of this no-mark before this truly grubby affair began.
In line with Modern Lefty Rules, as with Kevin Spacey, he cannot possibly be considered for any further acting roles. |

Forget that he will probably enjoy it. |

$65,000 Per episode not enough for him.

Seems like a good wage too me, maybe that is only defence his lawyers could come up with when snookered.
The wage thing still comes across a lie, he earns 65k per episode on a show we all have never seen, In America that is probably good. Sadly another pawn in the lefts agenda. |
