Jussie Smollett is indicted by a grand jury on 16 felony counts for allegedly staging an antigay and racist attack on himself

CHICAGO—Actor Jussie Smollett has been indicted by a grand jury on 16 felony counts for allegedly staging an antigay and racist attack on himself.

The indictment, filed Thursday and made public late Friday, lays out counts of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. The charges address different elements of Mr. Smollett’s allegedly false accounting of the attack to police, including its location on public property, aspects that marked it as a hate crime, and that an attacker wore a mask. Each charge carries a penalty...

GOOD. Some sanity left in this poor broken sinful world

Couldn’t happen to a nicer potential felon

Dam !!!

A black man lied and created a ruckus. He might go to jailfor 4 years. A white man robbed and cheated his country. Committed fraud, lied on his taxes, conspired with Russians. In other words a traitor and he is getting 5 years. Yeah there is no intrinsic bias.

KimStrassel MAGA Here are some of Jussie’s supporters, as shown in the March edition of the WSJ Magazine. Wait...what

And the left press still won’t admit

Stupidity 1th class Read this and wise up Everybody

We all make mistakes. But this was a real bad one for LGBQ and Democrats as a whole.😩

omarbula And may he serve many years in the penitentiary for his crimes as a carionary lesson to those who dare to hurl false accusations.

The MSM was complicit in this hoax, and should also go to trial.

This is a disgrace. Why are people so hell bent on media attention?

Antigay?! Do you mean homophobic?

After he’s convicted or cuts a deal, I want apologies from everyone who jumped the gun believing him and/or bashing realDonaldTrump supporters, starting with RobinRoberts

I demand 47 months!

Serious lapse in judgment

RT : Jussie Smollett is indicted by a grand jury on 16 felony counts for allegedly ...

Wha!!!! You fake a hate crime and get CHARGED w/ a crime. Ironic.

Now watch, this guy gets 10 years or something. For staging his own attack..getting his own butt kicked...but Manafort gets 47months and he defrauded the US over 10 million dollars amongst some other nasty things lol..smh. I say let this fool go.

Great

Why isn't this reckless, reckless behavior and story being covered with the intensity of the fake attack? Jussie Smollett could have started a riot. He did nothing for his cause & only perpetuated hate.

way to further that career buddy!

Lock him up

Piece of 💩

Not a great actor, not a great script writer, not a great director. How did he ended up in that business? Slept with somebody?

Country bracing for a sentence near the absurd Manafort 47 month ruling. Definitely a two tier system.

Lock him up

This POS can’t go to jail long enough for what he’s done. He should never breathe free air again. jailjussie. On a side note, everyone who used “his story” to advance a cause, should also face jail time; all of that shit was disgusting

The Democratic crime family needs to come to his rescue

Make him wear a MAGA hat and force him to walk the streets of San Francisco. Then make him eat Big Macs at the Whitehouse with the trumpCULT

Maybe Jussie will get the 19 to 24 years that Manafort should have gotten!!

Make an example

The racking up of 16 counts is a tough starting point. But they all collapse into one unit eventually. Then he will have Mark Geragos in his corner. He will likely serve one sentence of two years with early release, full restitution and community service related to his errors.

To rich for jail

He negatively affected every cause, that every group has fought to be equal.

This false accusation is itself a HATE CRIME against non liberal views. Punish hard as a deterrent!

Inmate ?

Let’s see; False=fake=not true=believe me=no collusion=Russia=No debt=Tax evasion=equal housing fraud=hire illegal workers=fake green cards=Porn escort=chain migration=border wall, border wall=Mexico will not pay=American tax payers pay=N.Korea fail=Fool me twice shame on USA😩

Couldn’t just stick to your day job and leave politics out of it.

Perhaps this is all a ploy as well. Smollett has hired the DA office to charge him with felonies so everyone will feel sorry for him. Brilliant!!

I would have to say his plan seems to have failed.

I don’t understand the comments comparing Jussie’s possible sentence to Paul Manifort’s sentence. Two completely different crimes.

Apparently the irony of this situation has escaped the grand jury.

“StandWithJussie” ~ every democrat

When victimhood is currency

He will get 10 years. Manafort will be out in 2. Wanna bet?

If he gets more than 47 months I’m gonna want to know why 😐

SHOULD be a lot of nervous lefties out there. Imagine ruining your life because your politics ain't Goin your way.

He will get more time then Manafort because he is blk ManafortSentencing

He should get probation

Let him go to prison and meet criminal gay men like him. Soulless gay men, fool of the highest order... what were you thinking? That you will get away with this heinous crime? I am sure the positive part of his brain has become gay too. Shame.

The play’s the thing.

Question: Is the fabrication of an attack by white individuals and presumably heterosexual a hate crime? If the situation was opposite, like originally reported, the media reported it as if it was a hate crime.

This had better result in jail time!

What does this mean sentence wise? I've seen this headline 100 times but no articles have details other than the recapping what he did

The sad thing is that Jussy Smollet probably will be put in jail for numerous years. While a criminal like Manafort just got 47 months.

Somebody pinch me!

That moment when you are still in complete denial. The Hollywood support and Anti- Trump silence is deafening.

One can say that his self-attack by proxy was way more successful than he anticipated.

Word of the day....Courtesy of tim_fargo

THIS is more in rotation than PaulManafortSentencing........like THIS is more outrageous than a judge who gave him 47 months in prison for FEDERAL CRIMES against this nation as he acted as a spy for other nations. Pitiful.

Forgot to mention anti Trump?

Serves him right

It’s really sad that this guy ruined his life with this lie. What would make a person do this? So sad.

So where are Kamala Harris and Al Sharpton now? Are they complicit?

Who made him do it?... Hussein

HES NOT GETTING OFF EASY ...........HE WAS THINKING LIKE A TERRORIST

64 YEARS IN JAIL ....................FOR BEING DUMB ...

So did he admit it eventually?

Good
