Not buying it, he bought off Chicago and as far as I’m concerned, he is a pig!!!!!!

TheArtist_MBS Sad day for justice

This is the new reality, an aid that worked for Michelle Obama had a hand in this.

Career won’t be ruined except in short run. Hollywood has no memory. He is guilty. Oh well another waste of tax payer money

thekewlsarah

Pay off!

Privilege.

16 felonies mean nothing and empowering fake hate crimes. Awesome

Politics at its best, pretty sure the former thug leader is behind it.

So the attack wasn't fake and they're actively looking for the assailants?

Sounds about white...oh wait

This is payback from Chicago for no collusion on Trump!

i smell foul play. After all the investigation,,news attention,,all charges dropped.

He ‘willingly’ forfeited $10K... clearly a ‘legal’ way to avoid jail. That plus all shame & public acknowledgement of his wrongdoing

deray 😨🤔🤔🤔🤔

But MAGA hats on two Nigerians⁉️ Let’s wait for the Mueller report before we decide.

His career is ruined and that’s what counts

That's some privilege right there.

Why?

So he bought his way out of this by giving his $10,000 bond to the city of Chicago and doing some volunteer work? Doesn't sound like an innocent person to me. Plus sealing the case sounds like there is something to hide.

Affirmative action at work.

Forfeited bond and sealed records. Something shady in Chicago? Never.

They (illuminati) just wanted him to know that he could get touched.

News of the dropped charges arrived after Smollett reportedly made an emergency appearance in Chicago court Tuesday morning

Money talks.

Somebody got some splaining to do!!! 👀👀👀

AG Barr: “This is a total and complete vindication. No collusion.”

Proves the two tiered justice system we have... if you are a leftist and KNOW the higher power people you can get away with ANYTHING. This will cause MORE Hoaxes from the left..see something say something!!!

Is the canary singing?

deray Make money folks make money and you won’t have to be scared of the cops

deray So.....he was exonerated?

Oh...wait for the right wing meltdown in 3-2-1-

This is where all the libs claim 'white privilege'.. Oh wait..

Yep, if y’all wanna let Trump off the hook, we’re letting Jussie walk. Justice4Jussie

So. Many. Plot Twists.

Crime is the new Black entitlement. This country sucks.

Get ready for the next hoax

Black Privilege

The benefits of being a rich black man with Hollywood connections.

Why? This makes no sense.

Was Jussie Smollett attacked by two people or not? TWO people say it was a hoax, ONE person says it wasn't? Riddles, Riddles.

Typical and the media will give it all a pass 😬nothing to see here!

Yet he still has community service? Hmm

Release the report!

Can I as a white trump supporter sue him for giving me and others like me a bad name?

Somebody check Kim Fox's bank accounts.

We want the report - everything

So are they saying there was in fact a hate crime committed against him?

DonaldJTrumpJr you owe Jussie Smollet an apology.
