I love how important he thinks he is when the vast majority of the country has no idea who he is. If there’s a gay black man that these fictional extreme MAGA racists would lynch, it’s clearly Don Lemon not this clown.

I’ll wait till the local reporters weigh in on this “Hail Mary” from Smollett’s defense team.

Unless it comes from CWBChicago, Rob Elgas, or Rafer Weigel, it needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt

With those acting skills, I'm surprised they were phasing him out of the show.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Two men once considered potential suspects in the alleged attack on Empire actor Jussie Smollett were moments away from testifying to a Cook County grand jury, before a last-minute phone call from Smollett’s defense team convinced prosecutors to postpone the testimony.

CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has learned the brothers were waiting outside the grand jury chambers at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Tuesday, just minutes from testifying, when the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office got a call from Smollett’s lawyers, claiming they may have new evidence.

I’m told that two dozen detectives were assigned to the Smollett case.

Can Chicago afford that, what with all the unsolved murders and shootings in this town?

No.

There were some 18 people killed in Chicago after Smollett began telling his story in late January, that story in which he cast himself as the hero, about having to fight off pro-Trump racists.

Now it turns out that the pro-Trump racists, who he says put a noose around his neck, may actually be his friends, two muscular Nigerian brothers who may or may not have been paid in this deal.

Either way, his story is he fought them off. Even though he had a cellphone in one hand, a tuna sandwich in the other.

Smollett must be a certified badass. His sandwich survived.

But two dozen detectives assigned to check out his story that he was a victim of a politically inspired pro-Trump hate crime, a story that is unraveling by the second?

Even in Chicago, a city known for its unending violence and political corruption, assigning two dozen detectives seems a bit overdone.

It was a perfect anti-Trump story. It fit the prevailing narrative of many in the media (who are themselves liberal Democrats) that Trump supporters are racist and just itching to find some minorities to beat up.

Just a few weeks ago, the same media and Twitter mob descended upon those Covington High School boys and blamed them for race hatred in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

It turned out the boys were innocent. But the social justice warriors of the left shrugged and moved on, looking for the next story with which to portray America as a hateful nation — because it fits their politics — and some found it in Smollett.


That article is simply amazing. It should be required reading in schools to show just how deranged the left has become.

This was the nail in the coffin they hoped for.

The article you posted made sure to mention that Jussie's siblings blamed the media and were supporting him.

Interesting that one member of the family committed career suicide and was followed, within 2 weeks, by his siblings making themselves unmarketable. Had they remained silent, they would be viewed with sympathy.

I wonder what fool-proof evidence Jussie came up with now.

That is one hell of a lucid commentary. I did not know there were sensible people in Chicago proper, any more, given their political proclivities.

"Can't let a good crisis go to waste, eh Mr. Mayor Emmanuel.

Love THIS part of the commentary

You are delusional if you believe anything will come of this. It will go away. Smollet won't be tied much less convicted of anything.
